Troubleshooting

Find the right BooleanSMTP fix by starting with what you see in the plugin or in your inbox.

Updated View as Markdown

Start with the symptom that matches your problem. Check the message in Email Logs when a send fails; its status and error message show what the provider reported.

Sending problems

A test says sent, but nothing arrived

Test email sent successfully! means the send transport reported success; it does not confirm delivery to the inbox. Check why the email did not arrive, or use the interactive checks one question at a time.

Other problems

If BooleanSMTP shows Page not found, read the message on screen and click Go to Overview. The Migration screen has no sidebar entry: press ⌘K (Mac) or Ctrl K (Windows and Linux), type Migration, and press Enter.

For deeper diagnosis, see the available diagnostic tools.

Diagnostic tools

  • Log mailer resolution to PHP error log (Settings → Logging & Retention) writes one JSON line per email showing which connection and transport were chosen.
  • SMTP Debug Level, on an SMTP connection’s edit form, captures the raw SMTP conversation for that connection’s sends.
  • Test Email Activity Console (Settings → Testing & Content) shows the SMTP handshake on the Test Email page for a manual test send.

Turn diagnostic logging back off when you’re done so the server error log does not keep receiving a line for every email.
