SleekView Kanban for WP Mail SMTP
SleekView Kanban reads WP Mail SMTP email logs straight from the WordPress database, groups them into delivery statuses like pending, sent, failed, and bounced, and lets your team drag rows across lanes to retry, archive, or escalate without ever leaving WordPress.

Why WP Mail SMTP logs need a kanban view
WP Mail SMTP stores every outbound email as a row in wp_wpmailsmtp_emails_log with a recipient, subject, mailer name, sent timestamp, and a status column that drives the rest of the delivery pipeline. The default email log screen shows these rows as a flat table sorted by sent time. That is fine for a few transactional emails per day, but quickly turns into noise once a site sends thousands of receipts, password resets, and form notifications across multiple mailers.
SleekView Kanban reads the same email log table and groups rows by the status field, which is the natural pipeline column for this plugin. Each card surfaces the recipient address, the subject line, the mailer used, and a relative time stamp so admins can scan a column without opening every log row. Failed and bounced messages sit in their own lanes instead of polluting the sent pile.
Dragging a card from one column to another writes the new status back to the same log row, so resend hooks, reporting, and WP Mail SMTP's own dashboard stay in sync. Bulk drags update every row in a single SQL transaction, so a queue of fifty failed sends can be moved into a retry lane in one sweep without a hundred separate page loads.

Comparison
Default email log vs SleekView Kanban
Default WP Mail SMTP log
- Flat email log table sorted by sent time with no grouping by delivery status
- No visual sense of how many messages failed or are stuck in pending at a glance
- Resending a failed email requires opening the row, scrolling, and clicking resend
- Bulk actions limit you to delete and export with no card-style preview of payload
- Mobile admins get the same dense WordPress log table with painful horizontal scroll
SleekView Kanban
-
Groups log rows by
statuswith live row counts next to each column title - Drag a card out of failed to trigger a resend through the active WP Mail SMTP mailer
- Card fronts surface recipient, subject, mailer name, and relative sent timestamp
- Failed and bounced messages sit in their own lanes so the sent pile stays clean
- Capability-aware drops respect WordPress roles so only admins can purge failed logs
Features
What SleekView Kanban gives you for WP Mail SMTP
Native WP Mail SMTP field support
SleekView reads every email log column directly, including recipient, subject, mailer name, headers, and the raw status message. Pick exactly which fields show on the card front, which open in a side panel, and which stay hidden but searchable from the filter bar above the board.
Drag to retry or archive
Every drop writes the new status value back to the email log table in a single update. Hook into the status change to retry the wp_mail call when a card leaves the failed lane, or to mark a row archived so it disappears from the active board without losing the underlying record.
Filter by mailer, recipient, or date
A filter bar above the board narrows lanes by mailer, recipient domain, or sent date range. Saved filters are per-user, so the dev clearing failed transactional emails keeps a focused board while the marketing team filters to digest sends from the same email log.
Audience
Three teams using the WP Mail SMTP kanban
Site admins triaging failures
Admins keep a board pinned to the failed lane and drag rows back into pending to retry the send. A clean failed pile means transactional emails never silently disappear for days.
DevOps watching deliverability
DevOps teams use the board grouped by status to spot deliverability dips early. A sudden surge in the bounced lane during a campaign is obvious on a kanban in a way no log table makes obvious.
Support teams checking sends
When a customer says they never got an email, support filters the board to that recipient and sees which lane the message landed in, without asking the admin to dig through the log.
The bigger picture
Why a kanban beats a list for email logs
Outbound email is a pipeline, not a log. WP Mail SMTP captures every send beautifully, but the default log table treats a delivered receipt and a hard bounce as visually identical rows separated by nothing more than a small status pill. That works when a site sends ten emails a day.
It falls apart at a thousand. A kanban board fixes the shape of the data, not just its presentation. Lanes give admins instant counts of how many messages are pending, sent, or failed right now, drag-and-drop turns retry actions into one gesture instead of a modal, and filters let each team focus on the mailer they own.
The same WP Mail SMTP data powers a different mental model, one that surfaces deliverability problems early instead of burying them under a stream of successful sends, and one that turns failed messages into actionable cards instead of forgotten rows.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView Kanban for WP Mail SMTP
SleekView reads WP Mail SMTP data directly from the WordPress database, so any version that writes to the email log table works. The free core and the Pro license both expose the same log schema, which means the kanban renders the same way regardless of which WP Mail SMTP plan you run.
By default a drop only updates the status column. You can extend it with a hook that calls wp_mail again with the stored payload when a card leaves the failed lane, and that is exactly how most teams wire it up. SleekView keeps the two actions separate so accidental drags never trigger a resend storm.
Yes. SleekView views are configuration only, so you can build one board filtered to transactional sends and another to marketing digests from the same email log. Each user picks their default board, and admins can pin shared boards to the WordPress sidebar for the whole ops team.
SleekView reads distinct status values on every load, so a new status shows up automatically as its own lane at the end of the board. You can drag it into the right position in the pipeline, assign a color, and decide which fields the lane's cards should surface, without rebuilding the view.
No. The drag handler updates the same status column that Pro reporting reads, so charts on the WP Mail SMTP dashboard refresh on the next page load and never drift from the live state of the kanban board in front of the admin moving the cards.
SleekView respects WordPress capabilities, so you can require manage_options or a custom capability before a card can leave the failed column. Support agents see the lane and can scroll it, but the drop target rejects their card with an inline message instead of silently triggering a resend.
Each lane uses a virtual scroller, so a column with thousands of cards still renders fast and stays responsive on a laptop. The lane header shows the exact count, and the filter bar at the top of the board narrows large lanes without resetting the scroll position or any cards already in motion.
SleekView reads and writes the existing WP Mail SMTP log tables and never adds shadow tables for email data. View configuration sits in its own small options table, so uninstalling SleekView leaves every log row, status, and reporting widget exactly where WP Mail SMTP wrote it.
