About:
MailCatcher runs a simple SMTP server along with a web interface that captures and displays emails as they arrive. It provides a non-destructive way to test email functionality in applications without sending real emails to actual recipients. This tool is invaluable for development and debugging of email workflows.
Key Features:
  • SMTP server with web UI
  • Instant email preview
  • Supports HTML and attachments
  • Zero configuration required
Use Cases:
  • Testing email functionality in web applications
  • Debugging email templates and formatting
  • Validating email delivery in development environments
Alternatives:
  • MailHog – Similar functionality with more advanced features like API access and webhook support
  • FakeSMTP – Java-based GUI tool, simpler but lacks web interface for viewing emails
