In my case it is missing as well. Have you any clue how to edit the email templates?

[BornToBeRoot]

@elpraga You can download the mail template editor from here (https://github.com/nextcloud/templateeditor) and copy it under /../nextcloud/apps

Enable it in your app/admin page

Note the version (stable11 or stable12) depends on your NC version.

[rrosko]

Unable to ENABLE via app page. It's listed but the enable button is greyed out and only remove is available. No mail editor functionality found on any of the Admin pages

[fabianblum]

same as @rrosko

[MorrisJobke]

See #5180 - this app is not supported anymore, because we updated the way email templates works. We will update the documentation soon.

[skerbis]

And now? How can we change the Templates?

[daniel-wtd]

@MorrisJobke And the alternative is?

[MorrisJobke]

Use a mail template class to overwrite the key parts https://github.com/nextcloud/server/blob/master/config/config.sample.php#L981

[skerbis]

seems not to be an easy way. Do you have an example. It's about text. We want to change the text.

Now we get Hallo User ...
We need to have Hallo Herr / Frau User...

@nickvergessen Didn't you had an example blog post?
