Flamingo is a message storing plugin used along with the popular contact form 7 plugin.
There are many form plugins available in WordPress much sophisticated with easy form creators, but many are still obsessed with the simplicity of the good old contact form 7.
I always loved to use it because it does what it is meant to be.
Flamingo developed by the same person who created contact form 7, Takayuki Miyoshi and who knows it more than him.
