How to install Titanium Mail SMTP without interrupting WordPress email
Titanium Mail SMTP starts in Default (WordPress mail) mode. This means the plugin does not take over delivery until you choose and configure a provider. Beginners can install the plugin, look around and prepare the settings without suddenly stopping password resets, contact forms or security emails.
A safe first setup
- Install and activate Titanium Mail SMTP from the WordPress Plugins screen.
- Open Titanium Mail SMTP → Settings → Connections.
- Leave Mailer set to Default (WordPress mail) while you decide which provider to use.
- Check the From email and From name. Use an address that belongs to your website domain on a live site whenever possible.
- Choose an external provider only when its account, sender verification and credentials are ready.
