To use pop, you will need a RESEND_API_KEY or configure an SMTP host.

You can grab one from: https://resend.com/api-keys.

Resend Configuration

To use the resend delivery method, set the RESEND_API_KEY environment variable.

export RESEND_API_KEY=$(pass RESEND_API_KEY)

SMTP Configuration

To configure pop to use SMTP, you can set the following environment variables.

export POP_SMTP_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
export POP_SMTP_PORT=587
export POP_SMTP_USERNAME=pop@charm.sh
export POP_SMTP_PASSWORD=hunter2

Environment

To avoid typing your From:  email address, you can also set the POP_FROM environment to pre-fill the field anytime you launch pop.

export POP_FROM=pop@charm.sh
export POP_SIGNATURE="Sent with [Pop](https://github.com/charmbracelet/pop)!"

Note: If you wish to use a resend account without a custom domain, you can use onboarding@resend.dev to send emails.
