Dashboard tour

The dashboard at app.mailcatchr.com is where you create mailboxes, inspect mail, issue keys and manage the workspace. Everything a test needs is also available over the API.

The sidebar lists every mailbox in the workspace, optionally arranged into groups. Opening a mailbox shows its messages newest first. Selecting a message shows the rendered HTML, the plain text, the parsed headers, the raw source, and any attachments.

Each mailbox has its own subdomain. The address pattern is shown at the top of the mailbox page. See Mailboxes and addresses.

From a mailbox page, Settings covers:

  • Name, group and retention. Retention is how long messages are kept before deletion, attachments included. The maximum depends on the plan.
  • Access credentials. Usernames and passwords for reading the mailbox over IMAP or POP3. See Mail clients.
  • Mail notifications. URLs that receive a signed HTTP request when a message arrives. See Mail notifications.
  • Outbound. Whether the mailbox may send, and the recipient allowlist. See Outbound sending.
  • Authenticators stores TOTP authenticators so tests can fetch the current code. See Two-factor codes.
  • Webhook Interceptor creates URLs that record every request sent to them, for testing systems that emit webhooks. See Webhook interceptors.
  • General: workspace name and deletion.
  • Members: invite people and set roles. Owner and Admin manage settings and keys; Member reads mail and reveals credentials.
  • Usage: inbound volume and storage against the plan.
  • Billing: plan, invoices, and the prepaid wallet for outbound sending.
  • API keys: issue and revoke keys. See API keys and scopes.
  • SSO: SAML single sign-on on the Business plan.
