I need to get the **SMTP Profile** information from the gateway using the module I’m building, such as:

**Hostname, Port, UseSSL/TTLS Port, USE STARTTLS, Username, Password**.

Does ignition provides a class I can extend e/or a API to get these specific informations? Thanks!

Why do you need access to the underlying settings? I'd say a better pattern would be to just pass the email message to our managed profile:

From `GatewayContext`, get the email profile manager:

> **[EmailProfileManager](https://sdk.inductiveautomation.com/javadoc/ignition81/8.1.52/com/inductiveautomation/ignition/gateway/mail/EmailProfileManager.html)**
>
> declaration: package: com.inductiveautomation.ignition.gateway.mail, interface: EmailProfileManager

Then get the profile by name:

> **[name - EmailProfileManager](https://sdk.inductiveautomation.com/javadoc/ignition81/8.1.52/com/inductiveautomation/ignition/gateway/mail/EmailProfileManager.html#getProfile(java.lang.String))**
>
> declaration: package: com.inductiveautomation.ignition.gateway.mail, interface: EmailProfileManager

Then call the provided `sendEmail` method:

> **[message - EmailProfile](https://sdk.inductiveautomation.com/javadoc/ignition81/8.1.52/com/inductiveautomation/ignition/gateway/mail/EmailProfile.html#sendEmail(com.inductiveautomation.ignition.gateway.mail.EmailMessage))**
>
> declaration: package: com.inductiveautomation.ignition.gateway.mail, interface: EmailProfile

It is possible to access the underlying settings directly using basically the same approach, but I wouldn't recommend it.

Note that this `EmailProfileManager` interface was introduced in 8.1.24, so you may have to set a floor for your module's supported Ignition versions/SDK compatibility.
