Read and manage your email without leaving WordPress.
PressedMail turns your dashboard into an email workspace. Connect the mailbox you already have over IMAP and SMTP, then read, write, search and organize mail in WordPress. Your address and mail provider stay the same. It suits site owners, freelancers and agencies.
A real email client inside WordPress
- Read and reply from the dashboard.
- Compose in rich text, Markdown or plain text.
- Browse Inbox, Sent, Drafts, Trash and your other folders.
- Follow threads, and search your mail.
- Move messages, mark them read, unread or important, and star them.
- Create email rules and custom tags to organize mail.
- Open and send attachments.
- Use it on a desktop, tablet or phone.
PressedMail Free
PressedMail Free connects one mailbox per site and gives it the whole client: inbox, reading, composing, search, folders, tags, rules and mailbox management, with no subscription.
PressedMail Pro, a separate edition
Pro, for several mailboxes or a wider workspace, adds:
- Connect multiple mailboxes and read them in one combined inbox.
- Contacts, a calendar, more themes and layouts.
- AI tools and phishing checks, with your own provider or PressedMail AI.
- Auto-replies, scheduled send, snooze and undo send.
- Ultimate plan: shared inboxes, calendars and contact lists, white labelling with a brand theme.
Pro shares this interface, and replacing Free with Pro keeps your accounts, settings and local data. Pro is a separate GPL-compatible paid plugin, not part of this download.

Security controls for reading email
Messages open in an isolated viewer with sanitized HTML. Remote images are blocked by default, so opening a message contacts no image server. WordPress permissions keep the mailbox with its owner.
Use your existing email provider
Any IMAP/SMTP account works if your host permits the connection. Setup offers Gmail (with an app password), Outlook and Hotmail, and Custom Email for cPanel, Zoho Mail, Fastmail and similar. Microsoft accounts use Microsoft sign-in, the only method Microsoft 365 accepts for IMAP.
Send WordPress site email through SMTP
Password resets, notifications, receipts and other wp_mail() messages can go through SMTP, set up and tested separately under Settings, WordPress Email.
WordPress integration
On WordPress 6.9 and later, mail actions register as WordPress abilities for MCP Adapter agents and WP-CLI, with the same permission checks.
No PressedMail account needed
No license key required and no trial expiration. There is no telemetry and no analytics. There are no license checks and no custom update checks. Updates come from
WordPress.org. Provider terms, limits and charges apply.
