Welcome to Mailloop! This guide will help you get started with testing emails in your development environment.
What is Mailloop?
Mailloop is an email testing sandbox that allows you to test email functionality in your applications without sending emails to real addresses. It provides a safe environment for:
- Development testing - Test email sending during development
- QA validation - Verify email content and formatting
- Debugging - Inspect email headers and content
- Team collaboration - Share email sandboxes with your team
Quick Start
1. Create a Sandbox
After signing in, create your first sandbox from the dashboard. Each sandbox has:
- Unique username - Your sandbox identifier
- Password - For SMTP authentication
- Dedicated inbox - All emails sent to your sandbox
2. Configure Your Application
Use your sandbox credentials to configure SMTP in your application:
const mailConfig = {
host: 'smtp.mailloop.io',
port: 587,
auth: {
user: 'your-sandbox-username',
pass: 'your-sandbox-password'
}
};3. Send Test Emails
Send emails from your application and they'll appear in your Mailloop inbox instantly.
