## Description

PressedMail Free connects one IMAP/SMTP mailbox. Keep your address and provider;
read, reply, search and file mail in WordPress.

 * Browse folders, move messages, follow threads, mark mail read or unread.
 * Create email rules and unlimited tags to organize mail.

#### Email with security controls built in

Messages open in an isolated viewer with sanitized HTML, and WordPress permissions
keep each mailbox with its owner.

#### Send WordPress email through SMTP

Website notifications use their own settings. PressedMail handles password resets,
receipts and other wp_mail() messages.

On WordPress 6.9 and later, mail actions register as WordPress abilities, so MCP
Adapter agents get the same permission checks.

No license key required, no trial expiration, no CurbSoftware telemetry, analytics,
license checks or custom update checks; updates come from WordPress.org. Your provider’s
terms and charges apply.

#### Need more? PressedMail Pro expands the workspace

 * Connect multiple mailboxes and read them in one combined inbox.

Pro is a separate GPL-compatible paid plugin, not in this download; its AI providers
may charge. [Compare editions](https://pressedmail.com/pricing), [setup documentation](https://pressedmail.com/docs),
[support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/pressedmail/).

### Privacy and External Services

Installation and activation send no email content or mailbox metadata to CurbSoftware
or an AI service; connections serve your configured accounts or authorized actions.

#### Your IMAP server

It connects to the host and port you configure to list folders, synchronize, search,
read, move, flag or delete mail, sending the mailbox username or address, credential
or OAuth token, and the command.

The server returns folders, message identifiers, senders, recipients, dates, subjects,
headers, bodies, attachments, flags, labels and sync state. Your provider’s terms
and privacy policy apply.

#### Your SMTP server

Sending mail, or a site notification, connects to your SMTP host and port with your
authentication, sender, recipients, subject, headers, body and attachments. Your
provider’s terms and privacy policy apply.

#### Optional Microsoft sign-in

Microsoft sign-in uses Microsoft’s identity services and the PressedMail OAuth relay;
password and app-password connections do not.

 * https://pressedmail.com/oauth/microsoft/start receives the site URL, callback
   URL and nonce at sign-in.
 * https://pressedmail.com/oauth/microsoft/redeem receives the one-time transfer
   code, site URL and same nonce after the redirect.
 * https://pressedmail.com/oauth/microsoft/refresh receives the refresh token, site
   URL and fresh nonce before the access token expires.

The relay returns mailbox identity, access and refresh tokens, scope and expiry,
and receives no bodies, attachments or mailbox contents. Microsoft receives the 
authentication and authorization data its services require.

[PressedMail terms](https://pressedmail.com/terms-of-service), [PressedMail privacy](https://pressedmail.com/privacy),
[Microsoft terms](https://www.microsoft.com/servicesagreement), [Microsoft privacy](https://privacy.microsoft.com/privacystatement).

#### Remote images

Images are blocked by default. Displaying one contacts its host, which may receive
the URL, IP address, user agent, browser headers and cookies. Its terms and privacy
policy apply; the sender can detect the view.

#### Video embeds in the composer

Pasting a video link or choosing Video previews it in the provider’s iframe. PressedMail
recognises YouTube, Vimeo, Dailymotion, Youku and Coub. Nothing is requested until
you paste a link; sent mail carries the link, not a player.

That iframe receives the video address, your IP address, user agent and any provider
cookies already set. Its terms and privacy policy apply. Any other link renders 
as a plain link card, which loads nothing.

 * YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/; privacy: https://policies.google.com/privacy;
   terms: https://www.youtube.com/t/terms
 * Vimeo: https://vimeo.com/; privacy: https://vimeo.com/privacy; terms: https://
   vimeo.com/terms
 * Dailymotion: https://www.dailymotion.com/
 * Youku: https://www.youku.com/
 * Coub: https://coub.com/

#### Local storage and sending logs

Account settings, encrypted credentials or OAuth tokens, and synchronized mail data
live in your WordPress database or filesystem. The site owner controls hosting, 
access, backups, retention, account removal, personal-data requests and uninstall.

Deleting the plugin keeps that data by default. To remove it too, switch on „Delete
plugin data on uninstall“ under Settings, then Data and uninstall.

Your browser keeps message content and mailbox lists in session storage until the
tab closes. Drafts, account names, account choice and recent searches use local 
storage for the signed-in user. Signing out clears them; until then anyone using
that browser profile can read them. Avoid shared computers. Panel widths use a session
cookie without mail data.

Rich Text draft structure can live in the site database, bound to the WordPress 
owner and exact mailbox draft. It never enters sent mail. It has no expiry date:
it stays until the draft is sent or deleted, the account is removed, privacy erasure
covers it, or uninstall purge removes it. Cache opt-out removes it too. Retry failed
cleanup with Clear stored email content in Security settings.

The notification delivery log is off by default. Choose 30, 60 or 90 days to record
date, first recipient, recipient count, subject, sender, mail server and result,
never bodies, headers or attachments. Entries expire on schedule; you can clear 
or disable the log.

### Development

#### Source code and build instructions

 * [Source repository](https://github.com/CurbSoftware/pressedmail)
 * [Source for version 1.3.2](https://github.com/CurbSoftware/pressedmail/tree/v1.3.2)
 * [Build instructions for version 1.3.2](https://github.com/CurbSoftware/pressedmail/blob/v1.3.2/BUILD.md)

Use Node.js 22.13 or later and `corepack enable` for the pinned pnpm, then from 
the repository root:

    ```
    pnpm install --frozen-lockfile && pnpm build
    ```

Output goes to `assets/admin/dist/`. Pro source is excluded.

PHP ships readable, with the Composer vendor tree it loads. One bundled library 
carries a documented local patch; its diff and licensing note are in the source 
repository.

#### Open-source libraries and assets

Free uses WordPress’s registered React, ReactDOM and JSX runtime. Libraries: Plate.
js, Slate, Vite, Tailwind CSS, Radix UI, date-fns, Lodash, juice, unified, remark
and micromark (MIT); highlight.js (BSD-3-Clause); DOMPurify (Apache-2.0 or MPL-2.0);
shadcn/ui (MIT); WpApi routing (haruncpi/wp-api) by Harun (CC BY 4.0).

    ```
    assets/admin/dist/THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.txt, written by the build, lists every third-party package the bundle carries, with version, licence and notice.
    ```

OpenDyslexic ships under the SIL Open Font License 1.1; the licence is `assets/fonts/
OFL.txt`.

Origins and adapted files: `THIRD-PARTY-PROVENANCE.md` at https://github.com/CurbSoftware/
pressedmail/blob/v1.3.2/apps/wp-pressedmail/THIRD-PARTY-PROVENANCE.md

## Installation

 1. Go to Plugins > Add New and search for PressedMail.
 2. Install and activate it, then open PressedMail in the sidebar.
 3. Connect your mailbox with your provider settings or a supported sign-in.
 4. Open your inbox.

For website notifications, go to Settings, WordPress Email, and send a test message.

## FAQ

### What does PressedMail need to run?

WordPress 6.6+, PHP 8.2+, MySQL 5.7+ or MariaDB 10.2+, with the user metadata table
on InnoDB.

Mailbox identity lives in WordPress user metadata and background work serializes
on MySQL named locks; SQLite has neither, so the SQLite Database Integration plugin
and WordPress Playground cannot complete mailbox setup. Site Health says so under„
PressedMail database requirements“.

### Which email providers work?

Use a compatible IMAP/SMTP account on a host that permits the connection. Setup 
offers Gmail, Outlook and Hotmail, and Custom Email for cPanel, Zoho Mail, Fastmail
and similar.

Gmail needs an app password. Microsoft accounts use Microsoft sign-in, the only 
method Microsoft 365 accepts for IMAP; provider plans and settings may affect access.

### Does a log entry prove delivery?

No. It reports whether the SMTP server accepted the message, not whether it reached
the inbox.

### Can I move to Pro later?

Yes. Replacing Free with Pro preserves compatible accounts, settings and local data.

 [pikigene](https://profiles.wordpress.org/pikigene/) 21. Septembar 2026.

We use PressedMail as a value added service for clients and potential clients as
a feature of our agency's offering helping put us ahead of competition. We love 
the white-labelling feature, automation, and security controls. It also replaces
several of the other plugins we used to use and it's like a small CRM.
