Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Emerge Mail
Yes. Anything that uses wp_mail() — which is virtually every WordPress plugin that sends email — works without modification.
No. Authorization is handled by the Emerge OAuth service. You sign in with your normal Google or Microsoft account; no developer setup is required.
All credentials — OAuth tokens for Gmail and Microsoft, plus API keys and SMTP passwords for SendGrid, Mailgun, Amazon SES, Brevo, and Generic SMTP — are encrypted with a key generated locally on your site on first activation and stored as a WordPress option. They never leave your install. For OAuth, the proxy used during sign-in does not persist tokens.
Access tokens expire roughly hourly. The plugin refreshes them automatically — both on a schedule and inline if a send happens to coincide with an expiry. You don't need to do anything. API-key connections (SendGrid, Mailgun, SES, Brevo, SMTP) don't expire — the credentials you paste are used as-is until you rotate them yourself.
The plugin returns an error from its pre_wp_mail hook, which causes WordPress to fall back to its default mail delivery (or to the next available connection if you have failover set up). The failure is recorded in the Last error column of the settings page and surfaced as an admin notice for 24 hours.
Yes. Connect as many as you like, mixing providers freely — e.g. a SendGrid account, a Gmail mailbox, and an SMTP server as a last-resort fallback. The connection marked Active is used first. If a send fails (or the Active connection is in cooldown after a recent error), the plugin automatically falls through to the next available connection. You can switch the Active account at any time from the Connections table. For high-volume sites, turn on Throttle connections in Sender settings to spread sends across all connected accounts instead of always hitting the Active one.
Yes. Enter a different address in the From email column on the Connections table. It must be a sender that the provider has authorized for this account — a verified send-as alias for Gmail/Microsoft, a verified sender or domain for SendGrid / Mailgun / Amazon SES / Brevo, or whatever the SMTP server allows. Sends from an unauthorized address will be rejected by the provider.
Yes. Set it in Sender settings → From name on the main settings page. Leave it blank to use your site title as the default.
Yes. Open Emerge Mail → Email Controls and tick the notifications you want stopped. Eight WordPress core admin/editor notifications are listed (comment moderation, new comments, password reset notices, new user registrations, and automatic-update results). Suppressed notifications are recorded in Emerge Mail → Activity Log so you still have an audit trail. End-user notifications (password resets, account changes, new-user welcome) are intentionally not listed — users need those.
No. For Gmail and Microsoft, the OAuth scope requested is sufficient only to send mail. The plugin does not call any read endpoints and cannot access existing messages. For SendGrid, Mailgun, SES, Brevo, and SMTP, the plugin only ever posts outbound messages — it does not request inbox reads, contact-list reads, or any other data from the provider.
