# How to update `dotkernel/dot-mail` from v3/v4 to v5 in your projects

- The first thing to do is download the new [mail configuration file](https://github.com/dotkernel/dot-mail/blob/5.0/config/mail.global.php.dist).
- Add the values you configured for your project, focusing on `transport`, `message_options` and `smtp_options`, then replace your old configuration file.
- In your `composer.json` update `"dotkernel/dot-mail": "^5.0.0",` and run `composer update` in the command line.

At this moment, `mime` and `imap` related functionality is removed.

## Technical approach

You can follow all the changes in this list of PRs:

- [dot-mail PR 65](https://github.com/dotkernel/dot-mail/pull/65/files)
- [dot-mail PR 66](https://github.com/dotkernel/dot-mail/pull/66/files)
- [dot-mail PR 67](https://github.com/dotkernel/dot-mail/pull/67/files)
- [dot-mail PR 69](https://github.com/dotkernel/dot-mail/pull/69/files)

> Function definition changes will not be covered in this article.

When upgrading dotkernel/dot-mail from v4 to v5, the main focus is on the configuration file `mail.global.php`.
It was revised to implement symfony/mailer, to remove features that are no longer available and to make dotkernel/dot-mail easier to configure.

```php
?php

declare(strict_types=1);

return [
/**
* Dotkernel mail module configuration
* Note that many of these options can be set programmatically too, when sending mail messages actually that is
* what you'll usually do, these configs provide just defaults and options that remain the same for all mails
*/
'dot_mail' => [
//the key is the mail service name, this is the default one, which does not extend any configuration
'default' => [
//message configuration
'message_options' => [
//from email address of the email
'from' => '',
//from name to be displayed instead of from address
'from_name' => '',
//reply-to email address of the email
'reply_to' => '',
//replyTo name to be displayed instead of the address
'reply_to_name' => '',
//destination email address as string or a list of email addresses
'to' => [],
//copy destination addresses
'cc' => [],
//hidden copy destination addresses
'bcc' => [],
//email subject
'subject' => '',
//body options - content can be plain text, HTML
'body' => [
'content' => '',
'charset' => 'utf-8',
],
//attachments config
'attachments' => [
'files' => [],
'dir' => [
'iterate' => false,
'path' => 'data/mail/attachments',
'recursive' => false,
],
],
],
/**
* the mail transport to use can be any class implementing
* Symfony\Component\Mailer\Transport\TransportInterface
*
* for standard mail transports, you can use these aliases:
* - sendmail => Symfony\Component\Mailer\Transport\SendmailTransport
* - esmtp => Symfony\Component\Mailer\Transport\Smtp\EsmtpTransport
*
* defaults to sendmail
**/
'transport' => 'sendmail',
//options that will be used only if esmtp adapter is used
'smtp_options' => [
//hostname or IP address of the mail server
'host' => '',
//port of the mail server - 587 or 465 for secure connections
'port' => 587,
'connection_config' => [
//the smtp authentication identity
'username' => '',
//the smtp authentication credential
'password' => '',
//to disable auto_tls set tls key to false
//it's not recommended to disable TLS while connecting to an SMTP server
'tls' => null,
],
],
],
// option to log the SENT emails
'log' => [
'sent' => getcwd() . '/log/mail/sent.log',
],
],
];
```

Make sure to use **ONE** of the below transporters, based on your server configuration.

```php
'transport' => 'sendmail',
```

OR

```php
'transport' => 'esmtp',
```

We set **Sendmail** to be the default.
