Mail

Everything your projects send is caught before it leaves the machine, and read inside the window. No browser tab, no real mailbox.

The Mail page

Mail: every message a project sends, caught before it leaves the machine.

Turning it on

Mail → Enable Mailpit writes .env, regenerates the configuration and starts the catcher. The first run downloads its image and can take a minute. Opening the page changes nothing; only the button does.

While the catcher runs, nothing your application sends leaves the machine.

Reading

Pick a message on the left, read it on the right. Search understands from:ali@example.com and subject:"invoice".

Tab Shows
Preview The HTML body, in a sandboxed frame.
Text, Source, Headers The plain body, the raw message, every header.
Attachments The files, which you can save.
Compatibility Whether the HTML and CSS used are supported by mail clients — green, orange, red.
Links Every link in the message. Check links fetches each one.

Sending one on

To forward a caught message to a real address you need a relay configured. Without one, releasing is refused rather than silently dropped.
