E2E testing with e-mail sign-in

Your question

How to efficiently e2e test while having e-mail sign-in as the only enabled authentication provider?

What are you trying to do
I have an application that I would like to write e2e tests for using CodeceptJS. As mentioned in my question, my only authentication provider is e-mail sign-in. Most of my application functionalities are locked behind being logged in by the user. I also know that CodeceptJS has a very nice abstraction for e-mails using MailSlurp which I have already configured and tried out. The only problem with using actual e-mails in tests is that temporary mailboxes and e-mails are too expensive for this to be an option.

Is there any other way to write tests like these efficiently or is the only option just actually sending, opening the e-mail and clicking the link? If there isn't any other way - would you be interested if I prepared a pull request with an implementation of a feature that allows for skipping the e-mail sending process and just returns the relevant cookie when /signin route is called?
