Mailtree Log Mail

Description

This plugin logs all mails that use the wp_mail() function (should be almost all). Mail can be viewed, downloaded as CSV and resend.

The plugin has REST API support. Log entries can also be exported automatically to another (archive) WordPress site that runs Mailtree. Mailtree uses the REST API for exporting entries and also has an automatic retry function to account for connection errors.

FAQ

How do I create an Application Password for auto export?

Visit your user profile in the backend via /wp-admin/profile.php.
Scroll down “Application Passwords” and enter any name i.e. “Mailtree”. It does not matter what name you pick.
Click “Add New Application Password”.
The new Application Password gets displayed. Save it somewhere. It will not get displayed again.

Please note: The user that creates the Application Password must have the capability required by the “User capability needed to see logs (and access REST API endpoints)” setting.

Are attachements logged?

Not yet.
Attachements are not saved and also not auto exported to an external site.
