DebugMail is a fake SMTP server designed for testing outgoing traffic of web apps or websites in the development environment without deploying it to production. This simple email testing tool offers developers a way to catch and debug emails without cluttering real mailboxes, or sending emails to real users. By setting up mailcatching on DebugMail, you can test the correctness of sending triggered emails, scheduled marketing emails, or ensure the accuracy of attachments, senders’ addresses, and more.

- Go to the Debug Mail website https://debugmail.io/ and login to your account using your Google, Github, or email credentials. After logging in, you must create a team and a project for the app or online store you wish to test.
- Choose the technology from the list of presets. Copy the generated code and then paste it to your project.
- Run your email sending code and check how it was sent to DebugMail.
How to integrate DebugMail with SMTP credentials
One can also utilize SMTP credentials, and we presume that you have already logged in.
- To find unique credentials for your project, scroll down past technology and snippets to the bottom of the page. You will see the following information:
Host: app.debugmail.io
Port: 25 or 9025
Username: unique-to-your-project
Password: unique-to-your-project
- Paste them to your project and run the email sending code. And then check the email in DebugMail.
We also have an API for managing DebugMail, which we’ll cover in another article.
Our goal was to provide a straightforward and simple guide to getting started with DebugMail, and we hope you found it useful. Also check out our comparison of DebugMail vs. Google SMTP to see how easy it is to integrate DebugMail into your project.
