add mail panel

[geromueller]

Hello,

i added a simple mail panel, to inspect mails send via flask_mail. This is perfekt to develop register/lost passwords and others features.
Works great with

MAIL_SUPPRESS_SEND = True

in the dev config.

Any chance that this will be merged and released soon? Or should i create a third party panel from it?

[jeffwidman]

I'm +1 for this. @mgood your thoughts?

Here's some slightly improved docs...

Shows mails that have been sent with `Flask-Mail`_. Use MAIL_SUPPRESS_SEND=True so the mail is not sent.

.. _Flask-Mail: https://pythonhosted.org/Flask-Mail/

@jeffwidman up to you, but my thought in #50 was to move towards just having better docs for 3rd party panels. That way people can find and install extra panels that apply to them. I think that model also makes it easier for other people to distribute and update the extra panels on their own timeline without depending on new releases of this package.

I know it's been a long time, but do you still have any interest in this?
If so, it will need to catch it up with master and retest. If not, we'll probably close it out.

I am working on https://github.com/rimvislt/flask-mail2 which is a fork from the previous no longer supported flask-mail. I am wondering if this debug panel should be added to the flask-mail2 repo instead of having it here.

Let me know what you think about it.

[macnewbold]

It's up to you where/how you want to contribute it. If there are a critical mass of people who use Flask Debug Toolbar and also use a Flask-Mail compatible library as well, I suspect they'd find it useful. Personally I'm not in that group of people yet, and I don't know how big that group is, but I'm not opposed to having it here, since it seems small and well contained.

The Flask-Mail project is now archived: https://github.com/pallets-eco/flask-mail

So closing this...

If the Flask ecosystem coalesces around another mail extension in the future, then I'd be open to a Flask DBT panel getting added.

Actually, NVM, I just heard from @davidism that archiving those may be a temp state of affairs... unclear, but for now I'm fine with leaving this open and floating...
