This tutorial will show you how to use Email Reports in WP Mail SMTP.


Enabling Email Reports

Before we get started, be sure to install and activate WP Mail SMTP on your WordPress site.

Note: In order to access Email Reports, you’ll first need to set up email logging in WP Mail SMTP.

Once the plugin is activated, and you’ve set up email logging, you’ll need to go to WP Mail SMTP » Email Reports.

Email reports page

This will direct you to the Email Reports page where you will see a detailed graph of all the emails sent from your site.

Below the graph, you’ll also find a table that displays data for each email sent from your WordPress site.

The data in both the graph and the table includes the following information:

  • Total: This is the total number of emails sent from your site (both successfully and unsuccessfully delivered emails).
  • Sent: The total number of emails successfully sent from your site.
  • Failed: The sum of emails that failed to send succesfully.
  • Open Count: The number of emails that were opened by the recipient(s).
  • Click Count: This represents the number of any links that the recipient(s) clicked on within the email.

Viewing an Individual Email Report

To view a report for a single email subject, click on the graph icon within the email report table.
