Describe the bug

After a fresh configuration/install of gogs the default settings in app.ini are set for mailer like following

[mailer]
ENABLED = true
HOST    = smtp.server:587
FROM    = "Gogs" <someuser@myemail.com>
USER    = someuser@myemail.com
PASSWD  = somepassword

This means that email seems "disabled" in admin config. The settings should have been put like:

[**email**]
ENABLED = true
HOST    = smtp.server:587
FROM    = "Gogs" <someuser@myemail.com>
USER    = someuser@myemail.com
**PASSWORD**  = somepassword

Following the hints from https://github.com/gogs/gogs/blob/main/conf/app.ini -> then gave authentication errors untill i figured out that PASSWD was wrong thanks to another bug which gave some extra hints to this issue #6542 (comment)

Is there something wrong with the .ini generator?

To reproduce

install & configure

Expected behavior

Correct setting of [email] to work out of the box.
Otherwise thanks for the great work.
