## Description

MailTally helps site administrators log outgoing emails sent through WordPress `
wp_mail()`.

It is built for email debugging and troubleshooting. You can inspect recipients,
subjects, message content, headers, attachments, send status, and error messages
from a clean WordPress admin interface.

MailTally uses the WordPress `wp_mail_succeeded` and `wp_mail_failed` hooks. A successful
status means WordPress and PHPMailer processed the send request. It does not guarantee
inbox delivery.

Features include:

 * Log outgoing WordPress email attempts.
 * Track sent and failed statuses.
 * Store recipients, subject, message, headers, attachments, and error messages.
 * Filter logs by status, date range, and search terms.
 * Preview email content with HTML and source tabs.
 * Resend individual emails.
 * Bulk delete logs.
 * Send a test HTML email.
 * Clear all logs.
 * Export logs as CSV.
 * Configure logging, retention, uninstall cleanup, and maximum logs.

This plugin does not configure SMTP settings. It logs and debugs emails sent through
the standard WordPress mail flow.

## FAQ

### Does this plugin configure SMTP?

No. MailTally logs and debugs WordPress emails only. It does not add SMTP sending
configuration.

### Does “Sent” mean delivered to the inbox?

No. “Sent” means WordPress and PHPMailer processed the send request successfully.
Mail servers and inbox providers can still reject, bounce, or filter email later.
