## Description

Tired of WordPress emails getting lost, marked as spam, or failing to deliver? **
NoorSMTP** improves WordPress email deliverability by routing outgoing emails through
a reliable SMTP server or the Gmail API using secure OAuth 2.0 authentication, replacing
the default PHP `mail()` function.

Whether you run a WooCommerce store, blog, membership site, or business website,
NoorSMTP helps ensure that password resets, contact form submissions, order receipts,
and admin notifications reach the recipient’s inbox.

### 🚀 Key Features

 * **Custom / Standard SMTP Provider:** Connect to any SMTP host (including Sendgrid,
   Mailgun, Amazon SES, Brevo, Postmark, Yahoo, Zoho, or your web hosting email 
   server) with custom port, authentication, and SSL/TLS encryption.
 * **Gmail API with Secure OAuth 2.0:** Send emails directly through Google’s official
   Gmail API without storing your Google account password or creating less secure
   app passwords.
 * **Email Delivery Logging:** Automatically track outgoing emails with delivery
   status (Sent / Failed), recipient, subject, mailer used, date, timestamp, and
   technical error diagnostics.
 * **Instant Delivery Test Tool:** Send test emails to any recipient address and
   view real-time server responses and debug logs to verify setup in seconds.
 * **Safe Data Management:** Your email logs and settings are preserved safely on
   plugin deactivation or uninstall by default. A dedicated setting with user confirmation
   allows full data removal only when explicitly chosen.
 * **Modern & Clean Interface:** Built specifically for WordPress administrators
   with an intuitive, accessible dashboard.

### 🌟 Need Advanced Features? Explore NoorSMTP Pro

NoorSMTP Free is completely independent, functional, and self-contained with no 
time limits or artificial restrictions. For high-volume sites needing advanced deliverability
tools, our separate premium extension, **NoorSMTP Pro**, offers:

 * **Additional Direct API Integrations:** Native API dispatch for Amazon SES, Mailgun,
   SendGrid, Postmark, Brevo, and Resend.
 * **Automatic Multi-Server Failover:** If your primary SMTP server hits rate limits
   or experiences downtime, emails are automatically routed through configured backup
   servers.
 * **Smart Source & Domain Routing:** Dispatch emails through specific servers based
   on the sending plugin (WooCommerce, WPForms, Contact Form 7, Gravity Forms) or
   recipient domain.
 * **Full Email Body Storage & Resend:** Store complete email bodies and resend 
   failed emails with one click.
 * **Open & Click Tracking:** Engagement analytics to monitor whether recipients
   opened your emails and clicked links.
 * **Instant Failure Notifications:** Receive immediate email or webhook alerts 
   when a critical delivery fails.

### External Services

This plugin can optionally connect to Google APIs when you configure and enable 
the **Gmail API** mailer.

 * **Service:** Google OAuth 2.0 & Gmail REST API
 * **Provider:** Google LLC
 * **When is it used?** When you choose “Gmail API” as your active mailer and authorize
   your Google account, or when WordPress dispatches an email using the Gmail mailer.
 * **What data is sent?**
    - During OAuth authorization: Client ID, Client Secret, authorization grant 
      code, and redirect URI are sent to `https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token` to
      obtain and refresh API access tokens.
    - During email dispatch: Email recipient addresses, sender email address, subject
      line, email body content, and MIME attachments are transmitted to `https://
      gmail.googleapis.com/upload/gmail/v1/users/me/messages/send` via RFC 2822 
      base64url encoded payloads to deliver the email through your Google account.

## FAQ

### Does NoorSMTP require a paid subscription?

No. NoorSMTP is free and fully functional. There are no artificial limits on the
number of emails you can send through your configured SMTP server or Gmail API.

### Can I use Gmail or Google Workspace?

Yes! You can connect your Gmail or Google Workspace account using the official Gmail
API via OAuth 2.0. This provides enhanced security because you do not need to store
account passwords or enable “Less secure apps”.

### Does the plugin slow down my site?

No. NoorSMTP is lightweight and executes only during outgoing email requests and
admin screen visits. Email logging uses indexed database tables optimized for quick
lookups.

### What happens if I uninstall the plugin?

By default, NoorSMTP keeps your settings and email logs intact so you do not lose
data if you temporarily deactivate or reinstall the plugin. If you wish to delete
all data upon uninstall, you can enable the “Delete Data on Uninstall” option under
Settings after confirming the prompt.

### What is the difference between NoorSMTP Free and NoorSMTP Pro?

NoorSMTP Free includes everything needed to reliably send and log WordPress emails
via Custom SMTP or the Gmail API. NoorSMTP Pro is an optional commercial add-on 
for high-volume and enterprise stores that adds automatic multi-server failover,
smart routing by plugin/domain, full email body storage & resend capability, email
open & click tracking, failure alert notifications, and dedicated direct APIs (Amazon
SES, SendGrid, Mailgun, Postmark, Brevo, Resend).
