Redirects all email sent through wordpress to the user currently logged in or the site administrator.
As of April 2026, Mail Debug is a WordPress debug plugin with 10 active installations and a 0/5 rating0. It has been downloaded 4.3K+ times in total. Requires WordPress 2.7+ and PHP false+. Available on WordPress.org since 2009. Last updated 15 years ago — may have compatibility concerns. Top alternative: WP Crontrol.
This plugin when activated automatically redirects all email sent through wp_mail/phpmailer to the user currently logged in or the site administrator.
The redirected email contains information about where the original email would have been sent to.
Use this plugin if you want to test email-sending features without actually sending emails our to anyone but yourself. I wrote this plugin to ease debugging with subscribe2.
Since Version 1.2 you can choose whether to redirect all email to the currently logged in user (default), the site administrator (only wpmu) or the blog administrator.
