Best Email Log WordPress Plugins
6 plugins · 950K combined installs · 4.0/5 avg rating
Email log plugins for WordPress record every outgoing email sent through the wp_mail function — capturing the recipient address, subject line, message body, send timestamp, and delivery status — providing administrators with a searchable audit trail of all site-generated correspondence. Without a logging plugin, WordPress provides no native record of transactional emails such as password resets, order confirmations, and form submissions, making it impossible to diagnose delivery failures or investigate support disputes after the fact. Site administrators troubleshooting email deliverability, WooCommerce store operators tracking order notification reliability, and compliance-conscious organisations that must retain communication records are the primary users. Many email log plugins also integrate with SMTP services and can trigger resend actions directly from the log interface.
