Configure email settings for EffortLess plugins: PHP Mail or SMTP with custom From email.

== Description ==

EffortLess Simple Email Configuration allows you to configure the email sending method for all EffortLess plugins. You can choose between PHP Mail (default) or SMTP, and define a custom From email and name. Works reliably for test emails and plugin notifications.

== Installation ==

1. Upload the plugin files to the `/wp-content/plugins/effortless-simple-email-configuration` directory.
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.
3. Go to Settings > EffortLess Simple Email Configuration to configure.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Can I use a From email different from SMTP username? =

Yes, with SMTP configured, the plugin sets the From header while using the SMTP user for authentication, similar to Thunderbird.

== Changelog ==

= 1.4.10 =
* Refactor: donate notice file kept as includes/class-donate-notice.php (preserves SVN file history); class remains Effortless_Donate_Notice.


= 1.4.9 =
* Fix: donate notice now correctly displays on Network Admin pages — screen ID normalization strips WordPress's -network/-user suffix before matching.


= 1.4.8 =
* Refactor: donate notice class renamed Donate_Notice → Effortless_Donate_Notice (WP-standard prefix); file renamed to class-effortless-donate-notice.php. No phpcs:ignore needed anywhere.


= 1.4.7 =
* Fix: donate notice now uses current_screen hook for reliable screen detection on single-site and multisite Network Admin pages.


= 1.4.6 =
* Improvement: added dismissible donate notice on the plugin settings screen.
* Improvement: added Donate link header field and includes/class-donate-notice.php.

* Restored SMTP Connection Test section (checks credentials without sending email, with detailed debug log)
* Fixed SMTP Connection Test to properly decrypt stored password before testing
* SMTP password preserved when left blank on save (no accidental overwrite)
* Password field shows hint when a password is already stored

= 1.4.3 =
* Security: SMTP password stored encrypted (AES-256-CBC) instead of plaintext
