Test Email
When certain kinds of transactions occur in the live PayPal system, PayPal sends email
messages to the real email addresses of the participants. From these email messages, the
recipient or initiator of an event or transaction can verify that the event took place and that the
monetary amounts associated with the event are correct.
PayPal test email, however, is a self-contained email system in the Sandbox itself. You see
email messages addressed only to the Sandbox test accounts you set up. Up to 30 of the latest
email messages are listed on the Test Email tab. The subject line of email messages you have
not read are in bold. Click a subject line to read the message.
