Hi,
I am just trying out logback for Android and I was curious about the
possibility to use SMTPAppender,
but found out it is not included in the features set.

The SMTPAppender is currently not supported in Android because it requires the javax.mail package, which Android does not support out of the box. Since it's a non-trivial task to add this support, I simply removed this particular appender.

Is there any technical reason why this appender is not supported?
Or is it just because of "logistics" (aka lack of available effort/time ;-)?

Indeed, it's lack of time. You can submit a feature request (via an Issue); and/or implement and pull-request it.

Thanks a lot for your feedback
Bye
