Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Email Essentials
No, it enhances WordPress email sending but only supports SMTP. You CAN use both plugins, but you must be careful to configure them properly to not conflict with each other.
Email Essentials has always been free, but has never been open source. Since version 6.0.0, it is now a FOSS plugin, meaning it is free to use, modify and distribute under the GPLv2 license.
