AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Mail logging – WP Mail Catcher is a category-leading WordPress app with a growing review traction. Category data on the canonical marketplace listing is currently incomplete, so AppRanks falls back to platform-wide rather than category-relative comparison for this listing. 107 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.
Pros
- +High average rating (4.9★) signals consistent merchant satisfaction
- +Published by JWardee — established developer track record
Cons

Hooks and actions
wp_mail_catcher_mail_success is triggered when a message is sent and logged successfully. It has a single argument that is an array containing the log
id related to the id in the mail_catcher_logs MySQL table
time relative, readable time to when the log was saved
email_to the email address(es) that the message was sent to
subject the subject line of the message
message the contents of the message
status an integer depicting if the message was sent successfully or not (1 = sent successfully. 0 = sending failed)
error the error that occurred – if any
backtrace_segment a json_encoded object that shows which file and line the mail was initially triggered from
attachments a list of any attachments that were sent along with the email
additional_headers a list of any headers that were sent
attachment_file_paths a list of the location of any attachments that were sent
timestamp a unix timestamp of when the email was sent
is_html a boolean, that will be true if the message is a html email and false if not
email_from the from value of the email
wp_mail_catcher_mail_failed is triggered when a message failed to send and logged successfully. It has a single argument that is an array containing the log (same as the arguments for wp_mail_catcher_mail_success)
wp_mail_catcher_deletion_intervals is a filter that should return an array where each key is an amount of time in seconds, and the value is the label. Used to determine when a message has expired and should be deleted
wp_mail_catcher_before_success_log_save is a filter that is called just before a successful log is saved. It has a single argument that is the transformed log that will be saved – use this to alter the log before it’s saved. Returning false will stop the log from being saved. Also note that this is fired even when an email has errored, because all logs are initially saved as “successful” before being possibly updated with an error (if applicable). This is because of the way the wp_mail and wp_mail_failed are implemented in WordPress.
