After all those years since "email" was invented in 1970s, email is still a crucial part of many internet services. HollaEx Kit is no exception! The email service is used for notifying users about their activities, sends updates to the exchange operator, and is mandatory for security verification.

From here, you can put the SMTP credentials that you got from the email provider.
