white kite a test account to receive emails?

yes @nestjs-modulesmailer is based on nodemailer and has a build in thing to create test accounts
but this requires a await but i cant really await in a module forRoot can i?

#

i can just create a account for ethereal on the site it self but those expire without getting newly refreshed if they expire, so i just a authentication error thinking my code here is at fault
then i start to debug it and realize later the email account doesn't exist anymore

I usually test the outgoing mails using this tool, works flawlessly on a local environment

not really what i was hoping for
certain parts of my app breaks because i'm not longer authenticated with a email address
to send and fetch emails without effecting anybody

#

the outgoing is not the problem
the problem is i have nothing to let it go out

having a account that can have the incomming is here the problem
