SMTPBox quickstart: capture your first test email

Create an inbox, generate SMTP credentials and capture your first development email with SMTPBox.

01 / GET STARTED

Capture your first message

It takes one inbox and one set of SMTP credentials. You do not need an SDK or a different mail library.

  1. 1

    Create a project and inbox

    Sign in, create a project for your application, then add an inbox such as local, staging or ci.

  2. 2

    Generate SMTP credentials

    Choose the destination inbox under SMTP credentials. Copy the username and password immediately—the password is shown once.

  3. 3

    Configure your mailer

    HOSTsmtp.smtpbox.dev
    PORT587
    SECURITYSTARTTLS
    AUTHRequired
  4. 4

    Send and inspect

    Trigger an email from your application. A successful SMTP transaction ends with 250 Message captured msg_… and the message appears in that inbox.
