What is Inbucket?

Inbucket is an email testing application that allows users to accept messages for any email address and view them through a web-based interface. It is designed to address a variety of challenges faced by developers and teams working on web applications, including testing outbound emails, keeping new applications secret until release, validating email integration, sharing email links with coworkers, load testing without impacting production servers, using production data safely in test environments, and previewing emails across different desktop email clients
