Testing sent emails

When we are running tests, Django allows us to see any emails that the server tries to send by accessing the outbox attribute of django.core.mail.

from django.core import mail
from django.test imprt LiveServerTestCase

class email_test(LiveServerTestCase):
	
	def test_email_sent(self):
		email = email_outbox[0]

Here we access the first email in the list of emails that the server has tried to send. We can access its target recipient with email.to, its subject with email.subject and its message body with email.body.
