Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Meow Mailer – Free SMTP, Everything Included

No, that's on purpose. One active provider keeps configuration simple and predictable. You can switch provider any time in Settings.

For SMTP and API providers, credentials are stored in the WordPress database. You can instead define them as PHP constants in wp-config.php (e.g. MWMAIL_SMTP_PASSWORD) to keep them out of the database. Gmail uses OAuth 2.0, so no password is ever stored.

Yes. Meow Mailer intercepts WordPress's standard wp_mail(), which is what those plugins use.

When enabled, the page is returned to your visitor immediately and the email is sent a moment later in the background, so a slow mail server never slows down your site. The email shows as "Pending" in the log, then updates to Sent or Failed.

Both use OAuth 2.0, so no password is stored. Create an OAuth app (Google Cloud Console for Gmail, Azure Portal for Microsoft 365), paste the Client ID and Secret into the provider settings, add the shown redirect URI to your OAuth app, then click Connect.
