| The easiest way to set up a mail server for notifications is through Google, you may want to avoid using Gmail for privacy reasons or as part of your degoogle plan, you can use any SMTP server that can support login using name and password. |

Maybe this will be better in the Guide section. In this section we just describe that is the Email notification feature, how can we set it up, what are the parameter...etc

Maybe remove this section?

I don't think we should remove this section completely, as this is a scenario many (if not most) users will run into. I agree with Alex in that we should move this section to a guide though

So what sections would we like to leave on this page?

| First, it is recommended to create a dedicated Google account for your Immich instance, and not to mix it with your main Google account. |

Is this your opinion? We should be subjective in writing documentation

This PR adds information to the documentation about the email notification options in Immich.
Would we like to include this information in the Administration section or under Features?
In #9736, if I understood correctly then we include user preferences for email messages, would we like to add information about this?
