Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about SMTP Connector – Free SMTP & Email Log

Any provider that offers SMTP. Quick setup covers Gmail and Google Workspace, Zoho Mail, Amazon SES, Brevo, Mailgun and SendGrid. For others (your web host's mail server, Elastic Email, Yahoo, and so on), enter the SMTP host, port and encryption from your provider's help pages.

For most providers, TLS with port 587. SSL normally uses port 465. Choose "None" only for a server inside your own network, because the password and emails are then sent unencrypted. The settings screen warns you if the port doesn't match the encryption. Gmail or Zoho says my username or password is wrong Gmail and Zoho don't accept your normal password for SMTP when two-step verification is on. Create an app password in your Google or Zoho account and use it as the SMTP password.

No. Leave the password field empty and the saved password is kept.

Go to Settings > Email Log and click an email's subject to open it. Failed emails show the error returned by your SMTP server. On multisite, only network administrators can see the email log.

30 days by default. You can change the number of days, or turn the email log off, in Settings > SMTP Connector. Emails stopped working after I moved my site or changed the security keys Your SMTP password is encrypted with the security keys in wp-config.php, which are unique to every site. If those keys change, the saved password can no longer be read. SMTP Connector then pauses sending and shows a warning until you enter the password again in Settings > SMTP Connector.

Yes. Your settings, password and email log are kept. Passwords saved by older versions are converted to the new encryption automatically.

Yes. Every plugin that sends email with WordPress's wp_mail() function goes through your SMTP server. That covers WooCommerce, Contact Form 7, WPForms, Gravity Forms and most others.

Yes. Every site in the network has its own SMTP settings and email log.

On the Development tab of this plugin page on WordPress.org.

Send a test email from Settings > SMTP Connector > Send test email and read the error message. It usually tells you exactly what's wrong (wrong password, wrong port, blocked connection). Double-check the details with your email provider, and if you're still stuck, contact me.
