At Solidres, we are committed to ensuring our tools evolve as fast as the platforms they serve. With the release of the newest generation of Joomla, we’ve been working hard behind the scenes to ensure your email logging stays uninterrupted.

Today, we are thrilled to announce that Mail Catcher has been officially upgraded to support Joomla 6!

What’s New in This Release?

This isn’t just a simple compatibility patch; we’ve refined the extension to take advantage of the modern architecture found in the latest Joomla environment:

  • Native Joomla 6 Support: Fully compatible with the new core APIs, ensuring seamless integration without relying on legacy layers.
  • PHP 8.2+ Optimization: Designed to run efficiently on the latest PHP versions, providing faster logging and lower server overhead.
  • Modern Coding Standards: We’ve refactored our system plugins to adhere to the strict modern MVC and namespacing requirements of Joomla 6.

Why Mail Catcher is Essential for Joomla 6 Users

As you move your sites to Joomla 6, having a reliable debugging tool is more important than ever. Mail Catcher acts as your “black box” recorder for emails:

  1. Audit Outgoing Mail: See every email sent from your site, including those from third-party extensions.
  2. Debug SMTP Issues: If an email fails to arrive, check Mail Catcher to see if it actually left your site.
  3. Monitor Your Server: Identify if your site is being used by malicious actors to send unauthorized spam.
  4. Full Metadata Tracking: Log the IP address and the specific component that triggered each message.

How to Get the Update

Existing subscribers can download the Joomla 6-compatible version (v2.0.0+) directly from their subscription page.

If you are just starting your Joomla 6 journey, Mail Catcher is the perfect companion to ensure your site’s communication is healthy from day one.
