<p>PressPilot Email Template Customizer adds a presentation layer to outgoing WordPress emails. It does not replace <code>wp_mail()</code> and does not interfere with SMTP plugins.</p>

MailerSend – Official SMTP Integration

<p>I'm using MailerSend as transactional email provider because they offer some great features that other providers don't have.<br />Beside this they have a great deliverability, sending speed and the MailerSend interface is really nice.</p>
<p>The plugin does a good job, but it's much to basic in my opinion.<br />I'm missing features like:<br />- Import / export settings<br />- Custom email headers<br />- a simple log file (now I need to check every issue via the MailerSend portal)</p>
<p>And why sending emails via SMTP and not via the MailerSend API?</p>

Basic features only, I need more to use the plugin for more projects
