Log emails to the WordPress database for later analysis. Access is restricted to administrators, and emails with WordPress passwords are obfuscated for security / privacy. Useful for diagnosing lost email problems.
Use this plugin with <a href="https://shop.webaware.com.au/downloads/disable-emails/" rel="nofollow ugc">Disable Emails</a> to divert all WordPress emails into logs, especially handy for developers.
Logs are automatically purged after a defined period, set through a settings page in the WordPress admin. Setting the period to 0 prevents logs from being purged. Uninstalling the plugin purges all logs.

Log Emails

Thanks for a plguin, it was thoroughly coded and seems have all that I need.

Simple and useful plugin

Seriously, this plugin is so freakin' helpful. I work on a lot of sites that I have set up on my local development machine and don't have outgoing email set up on purpose. Only rarely do I need access to test those emails. But when I need it, it's typically urgent. This plugin has completely saved the day multiple times over the past month.

Thank you so much for the great work!

Only sad I didn't find this plugin sooner!

I've checked it's functionality and with first sight, it didn't contained vulnerable parts. Thank you.

compact and free from vulnerabilities
