Ugh

This plugin, like Contact Form 7, is in desperate need of some better interaction/UX design and some friendlier documentation. The functionality this plugin provides should be built into Contact Form 7, and the “Subject” and “From” columns should be configurable easily and not some weirdo garbage like this that you have to go hunting for: https://contactform7.com/save-submitted-messages-with-flamingo/

Exporting saved messages does not include metadata, but a bunch of useful information is stored in the metadata. Trying to search or sort messages is frustrating and barely functional. If you mark a message as “not spam”, it resets the date to the current date, which is absolutely not the expected behavior.

In short, if you’re looking to use this with anything more complicated than a basic contact form, you should get another plugin.
