SleekView for Email Log
Email Log writes every WordPress email to wp_email_log with full headers and attachments. SleekView turns the table into a workable, multi-sort, body-searchable WP Admin view for free.
♾️ Lifetime License available
Email Log writes a clean audit table. The default UI does not let you exploit it.
Every email Email Log captures lands in wp_email_log with id, sent_date, to, subject, message, headers, ip, and attachment. The default page paginates and filters by single field. Body search and forward-on-resend live behind the Pro upgrade. SleekView opens the same data with multi-column sort, body search, and saved views, against the table the free plugin already writes to.
For compliance teams the difference is concrete. An auditor asking for every transactional email about a specific user becomes a single search across the body, exported as a CSV slice. For support, a customer disputing a missing receipt becomes a body search on the order number, returning the row with the timestamp and headers attached. For developers, a plugin email QA pass becomes a from-address filter applied while testing.
SleekView never sends mail itself. It only reads, sorts, filters, and exports the rows the plugin captured. Forwarding and reroute logic stays with Email Log Pro or your SMTP provider. Bulk deletes respect the plugin's own delete logic, including any rotation rules. Capability gating keeps the audit view scoped to the right roles.

Audience
Email Log situations SleekView solves
Compliance audit
Auditor wants every transactional email about a specific user. Search by recipient, export the slice, attach it directly to the audit report.
Customer dispute
Customer claims they never got the receipt. Search the order number in body content, screenshot the matching row, dispute closed within minutes.
Plugin email QA
Filter by from-address while testing a new plugin to confirm it sends what you expect, before shipping the integration to client sites.
The bigger picture
Why audit-ready email logs save legal hours
Email logging looks mundane until the legal request lands. A subject access request under GDPR, a customer dispute under consumer law, a tax audit asking for every invoice email sent during a specific quarter, a compliance review of password-reset flow privacy, all of them require the same thing: the ability to enumerate and export specific rows quickly, with provable filters and reproducible columns. The Email Log plugin captures the data perfectly.
The default UI does not let you exploit it. Body search is locked behind Pro. Sorting is one column at a time.
Saved views do not exist. Forwarding is also Pro-only. Each of those gaps converts into hours of manual work when the auditor's deadline is tomorrow.
A real workable view changes the equation. The compliance officer opens the saved audit view, applies the date filter, exports the CSV, and the request is answered in minutes. The legal team gets the rows that match the subject access request without writing SQL.
The developer doing plugin email QA filters by from-address and watches each attempt land in real time. The plugin already collects everything. The view turns it into a tool the legal and compliance teams can actually use without escalating to engineering.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView for Email Log
It does not turn into Email Log Pro, but it gives you most of the same data wins, including body search, multi-column sort, date-range filters, and saved views, against the same table the free plugin writes to. Pro features like forward-on-resend stay with Pro. The view side of things, which is most of what teams actually need, is fully covered.
 SleekView focuses on viewing data, not on relaying mail. Pair it with Email Log Pro or your SMTP provider for forwarding. SleekView never injects itself into the wp_mail send path. It only reads, sorts, filters, and exports the rows the plugin already captured for you.
 Yes. SleekView reads wp_email_log directly, so any extra columns the Pro add-on writes surface like any other column. The two plugins do not interfere. Pro keeps doing forwarding, conditional logging, and the other features it adds. SleekView keeps doing the workable table view on top of the same underlying data.
 Yes. SleekView opens the per-site wp_email_log table on each site, with no cross-site bleed. A network admin can switch between sites and see only the email log that belongs to the currently selected site. This matches Email Log's own per-site logging model and keeps audit boundaries cleanly aligned with site boundaries.
 Yes. Filter to your range, select all matching rows, and bulk delete. The action respects WordPress capabilities and runs through the plugin's delete hook where one exists. For compliance use cases the bulk delete makes scheduled retention enforcement straightforward, especially when paired with a saved date-range view that defines the retention boundary.
 No. SleekView paginates and indexes server-side, so the table stays fast even on long-running sites with millions of email log entries. Each page query reads only the visible page, and sorting uses database indexes. Adding an index on sent_date if it does not already exist keeps the most common audit queries snappy.
 Yes. Headers are stored in wp_email_log and surface as a column. For multiline header dumps, the row drawer expands the full content. This is essential when an audit needs to verify Reply-To, BCC paths, or DKIM signing headers as they were at send time, not just the subject and recipient.
 No. SleekView is purely a view layer. It reads from wp_email_log, but it does not write back to it and does not generate its own log entries. Every row in the table came from the Email Log plugin's capture of a wp_mail call. Removing SleekView at any time leaves the underlying log data untouched.
