Hello,
I have been using a different extension for over 15 years to monitor emails that are sent from websites.  I was introduced to EasySMTP last week and was looking to use it on all my sites moving forward but it seems to only work if you have a smtp service.  Is it possible for the extension to still monitor and catch emails that are sent from website even if a specific smtp service is not being used on sites?  Thnx

Hello,

Currently EasySMTP requires an active mail provider to log and monitor emails.

However, this is a great feature request, and we can add a 'Monitor Only' mode that logs all emails even when using Joomla's default mail settings. 

Now I added this feature on the plan for v1.0.1 (will release just a week).

Thank you

Oh wow!  That would be awesome, I was getting ready to go back to the extension I've been using but if that is possible AWESOME.  I'm guessing there won't be a way to show whether those emails that are sent get opened at all?  I've been using a extension called Mailcatcher which always shows ALL emails sent out but I'm unable to see if any of those emails are clicked/open at all, is that possible as well?  Thanks for the quick response/support.
