Mailosaur Reviews

I love how there is an easy-to-use software that allows you to test emails. Mailosaur is perfect for personal use but even more beneficial for professional and academic purposes! This software is a good time saver.

At times, a few glitches here and there from the Mailosaur API not being able to read/process email/SMS, recommend consistency in updates.

Saving time in resolving tedious efforts on my end with email testing, reset password, and new user email.

Mailosaur is easy to use and works as a one-stop shop for our auth testing.

This is great that Mailosaur support both email and SMS testing.

When we compared it with competitors we could not find one that handle both SMS and email.

Sometimes we encounter glitches in our CI/CD because the test could not read the message from the SMS/Email by using the Mailosaur API. I would like it to be more stable in this matter.

SMS number for messages testing (auth testing).

Email address for messages testing (auth testing).

By Mailosaur we can receive a US phone number which most of our customers live so this is helpful.

After hand-rolling a Python script and trying various email providers and APIs, Malosaur was a breath of fresh air.

It had a simple interface and was easy to implement, first in Postman and then in Cypress, as our automation suite matured and grew.

It runs in our CI/CD pipeline, confirming new user credentials are delivered.

In particular, the additional information they return about emails as separate JSON objects saved us a bunch of time and effort parsing the message body.

Having it be so useful to our processes that I pay for it out of pocket and our accounting team can't seem to figure out how to make it reimbursable?

For us, having a REST endpoint to confirm that emails were being sent in a timely manner lifted a big burden from our overhead.

It was also great that Mailosaur parsed many fields (in particular, we were looking for a set password link) and made them easily searchable as JSON objects.

We can link Mailosaur with our automated testing frameworks to run regressions on real SMTP code.

Very minor, but an extension for quickly generating test emails would be really helpful.

We use Mailosaur as a "catch all" SMTP server while building and testing websites.

After generating the apikey through the web portal, it took very little time to create a class object passing the search criteria for our specific needs

The only downside setting up customized domains for our emails is complicated because of the security protocols in place at our company, but since the primary use is for test data, it's of little significance

We needed a solution that could replace Gmail for generating unlimited emails for automated tests that run regularly. Also, we no longer see a high test failure rate from timeout or connection issues retrieving emails

* API is well covered and documented with examples in all supported languages.

* Complete access to the entire `.eml` and headers and body along with helpful iterable data structures for links, images, and attachments.

* Nice GUI to quickly check messages for rendering, searching the inbox, and making any configuration changes to the servers.

* Support for SMS which is handy for verifying 2FA or other interactions.

* Sometimes UI changes are rolled out and menu items and features changed around can be disorienting.

* Usage statistics are quite coarse; would like to see which servers and SMS numbers are consuming most of the limits.

* Shared access to SMTP servers for service accounts and multiple team users to see email contents of a specific message.

* Scalable testing features of adding endless new email addresses, and flexible APIs to create and access accounts, servers, SMS numbers, and messages.

Being able to use as many email addresses as you like during our automated tests. Testing SMS has been great too.

I wish I had known about Mailosaur before.

We have been able to automate our end to end tests completely including account signup and SMS messages using Cypress.

Benefits have been increased test coverage and confidence when we release a new version. In fact, we are releasing new version more frequently since.

Mailosaur combines mail and sms api messages into one. In doing this, viewing a combined view of emails and text messages - and searching/retrieving messages standard and easy.

The phone numbers provided by Mailosaur are not always easy/obvious to send SMS messages. For example, Vonage numbers may not necessarily be processed by all providers. This can lead you down rabbit holes trying to figure out why texts never came.

By automating the email and sms process, Mailosaur solves a number of key automation steps in our end-to-end testing of Email OTP, SMS OTP, Reset Password, Magic Link Login, and new user email confirmation

It's very easy to start using it, but if you can insert code and have sone technical skills it can get very deep and bring good insights.

Very cheap to start, even to just see how mails are received in different inboxes can be much more expensive in other solutions.

SMS testing is not as cheap and easy to start as emails. It just does what it does, you can't build or improve your mails here, it's just for testing and getting insights.

Testing how mails are delivered and seen in different platforms and apps.

My experince with mailosaur is not so good, our use case is we sent marketing emails to our subscribers but before active our campaign we need to test all link and attachments. In this case i think mailosaur is not usefull because why should we pay when all these features are available in free tools.

Not helpfull all tese features are available in free tools

Mailosaur is not so helpfull for us but its helped us to make our email camapign more attractive and reduce chances to land email inspam.
