  • Mailpit

    An email and SMTP testing tool with API for developers

  • In this space there is also Mailpit[0], written in GO, runs from a single binary (also has Docker images).

  • maildev

    :mailbox: SMTP Server + Web Interface for viewing and testing emails during development.

  • This looks quite nice and lean, we started using https://github.com/maildev/maildev especially for the arm64 support.

  • trunk

    Build, bundle & ship your Rust WASM application to the web.

  • Hi, the author of MailCrab here :-) Yew is nice, especially if you enjoy writing Rust. However, it definitely takes more time and dedication than writing a frontend in React, Vue etc. Yew and the surrounding ecosystem keeps improving, and it is way more usable than when I first tried it. The tooling I used (Trunk https://trunkrs.dev/) is very minimal with respect to the number of features compared to many of the popular web-bundlers (Webpack etc.) but it works well for most simple use-cases.

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
