TL;DR

AI summary of the plugin's readme

This plugin is for WordPress administrators who need to change the site admin email without server-based outgoing email, such as in development, testing, or localhost environments. It restores the ability (removed in WordPress 4.9) to change the admin email without requiring email confirmation.
