Testing emails in a local development environment can be challenging. It’s a real pain to know whether your website’s or web app’s outgoing emails are actually reaching the recipient’s inbox. Enter, MailHog!

MailHog is an email testing tool that makes it super easy to install and configure a local email server. MailHog sets up a fake SMTP server. You can configure your preferred web applications to use MailHog’s SMTP server to send and receive emails.

For instance, you can configure a local WordPress site to use MailHog for email deliveries. That’s exactly what DevKinsta does to power its built-in SMTP server for testing emails locally.

In this detailed tutorial, you’ll learn the ins and outs of MailHog, including its installation, configuration, how to test emails locally, and much more!
