Why learn Email Testing?

Developers should learn email testing when building applications that send transactional emails (e.g., password resets, notifications), marketing campaigns, or automated workflows to prevent issues like non-delivery, spam filtering, or broken layouts. It's crucial for maintaining user trust, compliance with regulations like GDPR, and optimizing email performance in e-commerce, SaaS, or communication platforms.
