What is Mailtrap

Mailtrap is a dual-purpose email platform. First, it offers Email Sandbox, which acts as a fake email server that captures all test emails from your development or staging environment. You can inspect every detail of these emails without sending them to real people. This prevents accidental emails to customers during testing.

Second, Mailtrap provides Email API and SMTP service for sending real emails to your users once testing is complete. This includes transactional emails like password resets and promotional campaigns. The platform gives you detailed tracking, showing delivery rates, opens, clicks, and bounces.

Mailtrap supports all major programming languages and frameworks through ready-made code snippets, making integration quick and straightforward for any development team.

How to Use Mailtrap

Using Mailtrap is simple for both testing and sending emails. Here are the steps:

  • Sign up for a free account at mailtrap.io and verify your email address.

  • For email testing, go to Email Sandbox and create a new sandbox inbox. Copy the SMTP credentials provided and add them to your application settings.

  • Send test emails from your app. They will appear in your Mailtrap sandbox instead of going to real email addresses. Check the HTML, text, spam score, and attachments.

  • Use the HTML checker to see how your email looks across different email clients like Gmail, Outlook, and Apple Mail.

  • For sending real emails, add and verify your domain in the Email Sending section by adding DNS records.

  • Integrate the API or SMTP credentials into your production environment. Monitor email performance through the dashboard to track delivery and engagement.

FAQ's About Mailtrap

Is Mailtrap free to use?
Yes, Mailtrap offers free plans for both Email Sandbox (50 test emails/month) and Email API/SMTP (3,500 emails/month). These are perfect for individual developers and small projects. Paid plans start at $15-17/month with more emails, features, and team collaboration tools.
How is Mailtrap different from other email services?
Mailtrap combines email testing and sending in one platform. The Email Sandbox captures test emails safely so they never reach real users, while the Email API lets you send production emails with high delivery rates. Most services only offer one or the other, not both.
Can I use Mailtrap with any programming language?
Yes, Mailtrap works with any language that supports SMTP or HTTP requests. The platform provides ready-made code snippets for popular languages including PHP, Python, Ruby, Node.js, Java, C#, and frameworks like Laravel, Django, Rails, and Express.
What happens if I reach my monthly email limit?
When you reach your plan limit, you will receive notifications at 80%, 90%, and 100% usage. For Email API/SMTP, sending stops until you upgrade or wait for the next billing cycle. For Email Sandbox, testing stops until you upgrade your plan.
Does Mailtrap help improve email delivery rates?
Yes, Mailtrap provides tools to improve delivery including spam score checking, HTML validation across email clients, dedicated IP addresses on higher plans, and detailed analytics showing which mailbox providers accept or reject your emails so you can optimize accordingly.
