This guide will show you how to resend an email in WP Mail SMTP.


Before you jump into this tutorial, be sure WP Mail SMTP is installed and activated on your WordPress site and that you’ve verified your license. Then you’ll need to turn on email logging.

Resending Emails

To resend an email, you will need to go to WP Mail SMTP » Email Log and click on the subject of the email you want to resend to open its individual log page. Then click on Resend in the Actions menu.

Note: Before you can resend emails, you’ll need to enable the Log Email Content option in your email log settings. Please note that this option allows your email logs to capture the content of emails and may capture sensitive information.

After you click Resend, a confirmation popup will appear with an option to modify the email recipient. If you’d like to add multiple recipients, be sure to separate each one with a comma.

Under Connection, you can choose any of the additional connections you’ve configured on your site.
