# Configure email server settings for alerts

The Email tab enables configuration of email authentication, which is required to send [alerts](https://www.nutrient.io/guides/document-searchability/tagging/using-tagger/alerts.md). To update these settings, click **Settings** > **Email**.

Starting from version 1.4, Nutrient Document Searchability Tagging (DST) uses modern authentication for email. You can authenticate using either a **Certificate** or a **Secret**.

The example below shows authentication using a certificate.![Authentication using Certificate](@/assets/guides/document-searchability/tagging/image287.png)

The example below shows authentication using a secret.![Authentication using Secret](@/assets/guides/document-searchability/tagging/image288.png)

If email settings aren’t configured, the following message appears. Clicking **Yes** opens a dialog box that displays the email configuration options.![Message indicating email server setting not configured](@/assets/guides/document-searchability/tagging/image224.png)

The email configuration includes:

1. Tenant for OAuth2 authentication.

2. Client ID for OAuth2 authentication.

3. Credential type used for authentication (**Certificate** or **Secret**).

4. Local path to the certificate generated by Azure.

5. Password for the certificate generated by Azure.

6. Credential type used for authentication (**Secret**).

7. Client secret generated by Azure.
