If you only want to see the email been triggered there is a way to save the email to local file system using action mailer config delivery method and specifying where you want to save it. I normally save to tmp/mail.

If log say's Completed on development mode, it doesn't tell the email was sent. You need to set config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors with true value in config/environment/development.rb, it will display some error if email not sending correctly.

Rails.application.configure do
    ## other stuff
    config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = true
    ## other stuff
end
