@the-cat-gaming-099 I don't believe this is possible because of how NodeBB is written. You need email to reset password, receive notifs, and for the database and core to see the users.
I suppose it could be possible, but you'd have to modify core yourself and it'd be pretty complicated and to be honest, not worth it.
NodeBB Sendgrid Reply-by-email Integration
-
I think there might be some steps/docs missing from the
nodebb-plugin-emailer-sendgridplugin.- What do I do with the settings in Settings > Email ? Just ignore them?
- I'm using my primary domain with Gmail GSuite but I would also like to set up "Reply-by-email"
- Basic instructions don't seem to work out of the box (there was no setup for DNS MX records on the SendGrid side)
- Do I need to, or should I, use a subdomain for replies?
Thanks!

If you've been sending emails via your G Suite account, then the SendGrid emailer plugin will override those settings. The selection is thusly:
Emailer plugin->Fallback (configured mailer in Settings/Email or local sendmail mailer)You probably cannot send emails via your G Suite and have replies handled via SendGrid.

So I'm not using G Suite to send emails for NodeBB
Generally speaking, I use GSuite with the domain axisandallies.org for Gmail and so forth but no integration with NodeBB.
I would like to configure SendGrid for reply-by-email. There is an option to have a subdomain for replies. The big issue that I'm confused about is that SendGrid never asked for me to set up MX records.

This article on SendGrid is helpful. You do need to set up a separate MX record on a subdomain (or other domain) for inbound "parse" replies.
