Allow Multiple Accounts vs BuddyPress

Allow multiple user accounts to be created, registered, and updated having the same email address. By default, WordPress only allows a specific email address to be used for a single user account. This plugin removes that restriction. The plugin’s settings page (accessed via Users -> Multiple Accounts or via the Settings link next to the plugin on the Manage Plugins page) provides the ability to allow only certain email addresses the ability to have multiple accounts (such as if you only want admins to have that ability; by default all email addresses can be used more than once). You may also specify a limit to the number of accounts an email address can have (by default there is no limit). The settings page also provides a table listing all user accounts that share email addresses (see screenshot). Compatible with Multisite and BuddyPress as well.

Functions Returns a count of the number of users associated with the given email. Returns the users associated with the given email.

BuddyPress gives you some customization options for your emails by default but there are still some downsides: Styling options are very limited It uses its own mailer which doesn’t work very well with SMTP plugins If you use an SMTP plugin BuddyPress emails switch to plain text You can’t use the same email design for BuddyPress and other WordPress plugins Features Email design for desktop, mobile and webmail clients Create your template once and it looks great on every device One template for all your WordPress emails WP HTML Mail is an all-in-one email solution. You can use the same template for your contact form emails (NinjaForms, WPForms, Contact Form 7, Gravity Forms, Caldera Forms, …) as well as your store (WooCommerce and Easy Digital Downloads) and of course WordPress own notifications (registration, comments, updates, …) No coding required (but possible) You can customize your html emails without writing a single line of code but there are a few filters for additional expert customizations.

BuddyPress PHPMailer and SMTP delivery BuddyPress uses a customized instance of PHPMailer to send multipart email (plain text AND HTML at the same time). To make our email design work we have to switch to wp_mail() function which doesn’t work with multipart messages. On the other hand side this makes it possible to use SMTP plugins like Post SMTP Mailer, WP Mail SMTP and many more with BuddyPress. read more about WP HTML Mail >
