Pimcore Mail

The Pimcore\Mail class extends Symfony\Component\Mime\Email and adds Pimcore-specific features.

When email settings are configured in config/config.yaml, initializing a Pimcore\Mail object applies them automatically. Configure email settings before using Pimcore\Mail.

The Pimcore\Mail class automatically handles CSS embedding, URL normalization, and Twig expression processing. All CSS files are embedded into the HTML with a <style> tag because image paths are also normalized.

Useful Methods
