Mail logging – WP Mail Catcher

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 91% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price.

   The ability to respond to emails without creating a new message (which requires copying and pasting the sender’s email address, questions, etc.) is a critical update that’s needed. The ability to flag mail that you have responded to so that other admins know its been dealt with and it can be filtered out of the queue would make using Mail Catcher a much more user-friendly experience.

   tested it for a few weeks and it’s very fine, lite and fast. only one small proposal: option to redirect an email – some users input their email wrong and admins can see this and redirect to the correct email address (ex. @yhoo.com instead of yahoo.com)
