Overview
Flamingo is a message storage plugin originally created for Contact Form 7, which doesn’t store submitted messages.

Works Really Well
by nolanrichardson·6 months ago
Its a great addition to contact form 7 and much needed if you don’t have your email server setup yet.
Only works with PHP sendmail, not external SMTP
by skylabb·1 year ago·5 replies
This plugin only works with contact forms using PHP mail. It doesn’t seem to work with an external SMTP mail server. I tested it out and there were no messages collected in DB. Also there’s no option to add more email addresses under Contact Book tab which shows only the users already registered in your WP site. So this feature is useless.
Great! (But has a minor bug)
by allamehw·1 year ago
This is a great tool, especially with its integration into the Contact Form 7 plugin. However, there’s a minor bug when exporting non-Latin characters, such as Persian. It seems the encoding is set to Western by default. Switching to UTF-8 encoding should resolve the issue. Thanks!
Just what i needed

Really good for storing messages
Performance
by sionline·2 years ago
Sending contact forms takes usually 3s.
With Flamingo active and 30k records in db the time is much greater, repeatable 15s which is unacceptable.
