AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Stop Emails is a category-leading WordPress app with a limited review volume. It is listed in the Email category on WordPress Plugin Directory, which AppRanks treats as the canonical taxonomy node for ranking and competitor comparison. 12 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.

How Stop Emails works
Stops outgoing emails sent from WordPress. This plugin stops
outgoing emails generated by WordPress core, plugins, and themes.
Emails sent using the wp_mail() function, will not be sent.
In the case where an author does not use the recommended wp_mail()
function and instead sends the email using another mechanism, an email will
still be sent.
This plugin allows you to suspend sending emails when doing development work.
Any calls to wp_mail() will fail silently. WordPress
will operate as if the email were sent successfully
but no email will actually be sent.
On the admin menu page Settings > Stop Emails, there is the option
to log all emails to the PHP error log. By default this logging is
disabled.
NOTE: If using the PHP mail() function directly, this
plugin will NOT stop the emails.
