Cypress email testing with virtual smtp server (mailtrap)

Question

My goal is to use mailtrap as a virtual SMTP server and use Cypress to be able to (through mailtraps interface) visualize how the emails look and test their contents to catch any inconsistencies.

I found a package called "cypress-mailtrap", but it looks like an abandoned project with no instructions: https://github.com/xedi/cypress-mailtrap.

Has anyone set up anything like this before or have any tips on how to approach it?

If you look at the plugins page of cypress docs, there are few email plugins one can use to test emails. Have you considered any of these? https://docs.cypress.io/plugins#Email — jjhelguero, Mar 22 '23 at 15:38

I also tried installing cypress-mailtrap, but faced different issues. So I switched to an open-source option, mailhog and it worked successfully.

A link to this mailhog package would be useful... – TylerH Aug 23 '23 at 14:21
