Umbral Email

Password resets, email verification, receipts — half your flows dead-end without somewhere to send mail. Umbral Email gives them that destination behind one interface: compose a message, call send, and whether it goes out over SMTP or a provider API is a config choice, not a rewrite. In dev it falls back to a console backend that prints to stderr, so you can build the whole flow before you own a single API key.

Install

cargo add umbral-email

Wire it up

use umbral::prelude::*;
use umbral_email::EmailPlugin;

let app = App::builder()
    .database("default", pool)
    .plugin(EmailPlugin)   // backend selected from the environment
    .build()?;

Target: send a verification email

Build the message and send it — the configured backend does the rest.

use umbral_email::EmailMessage;

let msg = EmailMessage::new("Verify your email", vec![user.email.clone()])
    .from("noreply@acme.dev")
    .text_body(&format!("Confirm: https://acme.dev/verify/{token}"));

msg.send().await?;   // SMTP, API, or console — same call

What you get

• One send interface over SMTP, provider API, or console
• Swap providers with a config change, not a code change
• Console backend in dev — build the flow before you have keys
• Attachments and HTML / text bodies
• The delivery layer umbral-auth's password reset plugs into
