  OK so here's some info for you.

  Out of the box, Payload does not send email to your users' inboxes. It comes configured with Ethereal Email which allows you to test and debug your email, but to see the emails, you need to log into Ethereal Email. See the docs here regarding how you can log your Ethereal credentials to log in:

  https://payloadcms.com/docs/email/overview#mock-transport

  Now, for configuring real transports. I'm going to guess that your SendInBlue configuration was wrong if the email showed up in the SendInPlus dashboard but not actually delivered. This could be due to MX records or similar not being correctly configured, causing your email to get either blocked or marked as spam. Email is a fickle beast, I'm afraid..

  Now, for the last fs issue. I took a look at your config and I know what's happening here. Basically, you're importing server-only modules into your Users collection, and server-only modules will break Webpack / the admin bundle unless you alias them.

  I'd put your whole beforeChange hook into a separate file, and then alias that file so it does not get included in the admin bundle. This will fix your issue.

  See the docs here for more:

  https://payloadcms.com/docs/admin/webpack#aliasing-server-only-modules

  I'm gonna convert this over to a discussion but I am happy to continue helping here!

  Thanks for your reply, I have setup an alias as instructed in the documentation and now its working fine (emails are being sent to inbox) but i'm getting some error in terminal:

  webpack built e3cd7ce2359bb2c12536 in 2090ms
  WARNING in ./src/collections/Users.ts 57:10-19
  export 'sendEmail' (imported as 'sendEmail') was not found in './hooks/SendEmail' (possible exports: default)

  webpack compiled with 1 warning
  Watchpack Error (initial scan): Error: ENOTDIR: not a directory, scandir 'C:\WebDevelopment\MyProjects\CMS\payload_auth_template\src\collections\hooks\SendEmail.ts'
  [08:54:22] INFO (payload): Connected to Mongo server successfully!

  Everything is working fine but how can i get rid of there errors.

            alias: {
              ...config.resolve.alias,
              SendEmail: mockModulePath,
              fs: mockModulePath
            },

  This resolved similar error message for me.
