📧 Email Not Working? Quick Fix Guide

Current Status: DEMO MODE

Your mail composer is currently running in demo mode because no email service is configured yet. When you click "Send Email", it simulates sending but doesn't actually send real emails.

🚀 Quick Fix - Get Real Email in 5 Minutes with EmailJS

Option 1: EmailJS (Recommended - No Server Required)

1. Go to EmailJS.com and create a free account

2. Set up Gmail service:

   • Dashboard → Email Services → Add New Service → Gmail
   • Connect your Gmail account
   • Copy the Service ID (e.g., service_abc123)

3. Create email template:

   • Dashboard → Email Templates → Create New Template
   • Copy this template content:

   Subject: {{subject}}

   Body:

   <p><strong>To:</strong> {{to_email}}</p>
   <p><strong>CC:</strong> {{cc_email}}</p>
   <p><strong>Priority:</strong> {{priority}}</p>
   <hr>
   <div>{{{message}}}</div>
   

   • Save and copy Template ID (e.g., template_xyz789)

4. Get your Public Key:

   • Account → General → Copy Public Key (e.g., user_abcd1234)

5. Configure the app:

   • Open emailjs-config.js in your editor
   • Replace these values:

   const EMAILJS_CONFIG = {
     SERVICE_ID: 'your-actual-service-id',
     TEMPLATE_ID: 'your-actual-template-id',
     PUBLIC_KEY: 'your-actual-public-key'
   };
   

6. Test it!

   • Refresh the app (it should show "✅ EmailJS Active")
   • Send a test email
   • Check your recipient's inbox!
