Describe the bug
Hello,
I'm assuming this is a bug, if not, it's a request and I can move it to the forum.
This page which describes mail and courier for self-hosted: https://www.ory.com/docs/kratos/self-hosted/mail-courier-selfhosted
Is not referenced or present in the docs for Kratos, I only found it through the Slack AI-bot.
It can be found via the search if looking for "courier". But its a crucial thing to enable and should preferably not only be included in the sidebar, but also referenced in the flows and mail-as-http docs as well.
