Mail Catcher – Improvements Needed!
by hssrwebsite·2 months ago
- The ability to respond to emails without creating a new message (which requires copying and pasting the sender’s email address, questions, etc.) is a critical update that’s needed.
- The ability to flag mail that you have responded to so that other admins know its been dealt with and it can be filtered out of the queue would make using Mail Catcher a much more user-friendly experience.

Good Job
perfect for mail logging and preview
by Eduard Doloc·4 months ago
tested it for a few weeks and it’s very fine, lite and fast.
only one small proposal: option to redirect an email – some users input their email wrong and admins can see this and redirect to the correct email address (ex. @yhoo.com instead of yahoo.com)
