 * I just updated from v 2.0.8 to 2.0.9 and now, when I try to send a Test email,
   I get the following error:
 * **WordPress database error:** [Table ‘staging-35303237cbd0.wp_check_email_error_logs’
   doesn’t exist]
   `SHOW FULL COLUMNS FROM ``wp_check_email_error_logs`
 * and the email fails to be sent. It worked OK before I updated the plugin.

 * Doh! I just realised it was my own error. I had clicked on the ‘Send Test Email’
   button without entering an email address for the test message to be sent to. 
   Once I looked in the Email Log, my error was apparent. But it might be nice if
   your plugin gave a more helpful message in response to such a mistake. I would
   have attached a screen shot, showing the (unhelpful) error message but there 
   doesn’t seem to be the facility to attach a file here.

 * My issue is resolved. Happy for you to mark this as resolved.
 * But, I’d like to suggest that, in a future release of the plugin, you add a check
   for the email address to which the test message is being sent and, if it is blank,
   issue a helpful error message and don’t proceed to try and send the email.

 * Hi, We are continuously making changes to improve the plugin and provide a better
   experience for our users. Thank you for your suggestion, we will definitely pass
   it on to our developers.
