# Dealing with email in development
## Sent emails
To view rendered emails "sent" in your development instance, visit
[`/rails/letter_opener`](http://localhost:3000/rails/letter_opener).
## Mailer previews
Rails provides a way to preview our mailer templates in HTML and plaintext using
dummy data.
The previews live in [`spec/mailers/previews`][previews] and can be viewed at
[`/rails/mailers`](http://localhost:3000/rails/mailers).
See the [Rails guides] for more info.
