# mailcatcher

The project is configured to use [mailcatcher](http://mailcatcher.me) by default. This lets you view mail being sent by the app in the browser. To use mailcatcher...

#### One time setup:

* `rvm default@mailcatcher --create`
* `gem install mailcatcher`
* `rvm wrapper default@mailcatcher --no-prefix mailcatcher catchmail`

#### Each use:

* `mailcatcher`
* Go to [http://localhost:1080](http://localhost:1080)
* Perform actions that produce emails
* [http://localhost:1080](http://localhost:1080) will automatically display the incoming email & provide notifications if you have Growl installed

#### To use Gmail instead:

* Pause for a moment to question all of your life decisions
* Swap the 'config.action_mailer.smtp_settings' line commenting in `config/environments/development.rb`
* Restart Rails
* Live in constant fear, at the grimy seam of panic & worry, that your mail tests are being sent to everyone everywhere ever
