Just wonder how's "Catching all local emails" works? because test emails just lost after restart / close the app.

Thank you for your amazing work, I started using it for local debug over mailtrap.

Hi @bnqtoan, the app spawns a process to run a local mail server, and send it to the desktop app. Test emails will be lost after closing the app because they're saved in memory, this is the design purpose, I don't store them on disk because I don't care about test emails.

Thank you
