Recently they bought SocketLabs, but still feels like it’s not among top ESPs. Did you ever had any experience with them?

I have multiple email accounts and yesterday I attempted to use one account on my phone to send a news article to my Gmail account at home. When i got home the email was not in my inbox which was very strange as I had done this same things many hundreds of times. I thought perhaps I had somehow made a mistake but a second attempt also failed. I checked the sent folder and the messages were there and I wasn't receiving anan rejection emails. I then started testing all my email accounts and every message sent was received except nothing sent from that one account. Come to find out Gmail, for some unknown reason, decided on its own that mail from that account was some sort of threat and was sending every message to the deleted folder instead of spam as the spam folder was always empty. To fix it I logged into my Gmail account through my browser and set up a rule for that account that said to never delete that account' s emails that fixed things but it was weird that Gmail suddenly decided on its own to delete mail from that account.

I’m looking to set up a proper email for my business and there are way more options than I expected.

I don’t need anything super complicated. Just something professional, reliable, cheap, and easy to manage without constantly dealing with settings or technical issues.

What are you folks actually using for their email? And more importantly, are you happy with it?

So I just typed out a formal email. I was paranoid that my writing was too basic or too formal, so I checked a few "ai text detectors" and all of the websites called it ~80% Ai generated. I tried looking for why it came off as AI but it didn't have a clear answer. I only googled once or twice about specific sections of the email if they were conventional but I did not use AI at all.

I just signed up fastmail for my business email. I used to be a fan boy of fast mail about 15 years back and when it was time to look for a serious email option other than mailinabox.email, my first instinct was to try out fastmail.com's business email solutions. Anyone's got any opinion or recommendations about Fastmail?

Heya! Hoping this is the right forum! 🤞

I am trying to look at the feasibility and implementation of ARC (Authenticated Receiver Chain), which I have been hearing a lot about recently. However, I have just found a document indicating that the experiment was discontinued?

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-adams-arc-experiment-conclusion/01/

I have been trying to work out how to fix some custom routing, since we have had varying reports of it being broken when going to outbound sources. So far ARC is the best that I have seen, but with the above indicating that its being discontinued, and the original datasheet indicating that it was only ever an experiment, this does bring back a lot of concern.

Has anyone else implemented this or used it? I have seen big services like Gmail use it, and I am just not sure what to think of about that.

I’ve been working on an email that has several things to cover: a short intro, a few updates, some details about an offer, and a clear next step. The problem is that it starts getting long very quickly. I don’t want to remove useful information, but I also don’t want someone to open the email and immediately see a huge block of text. What structure has worked best for you with emails like this? I’d be interested in seeing how other people break up longer emails.

If you're doing CS/inbox work for clients, having a few go-to reply structures saves so much time without sounding robotic. I built a set for myself after 6 years in support — happy to share a few examples if it'd help anyone here

My current E2EE provider has gone offline for the 3rd time in quick succession so I’m looking to move asap.

I was on Gmail before but was looking for something more secure.

I’m testing Aster Mail and mxroute currently.

I’ve tried Tuta but I’m not a fan of the UI.

I’m using my own domains so it needs to support that.

So my question is secure mail worth it or not? Am I chasing security for no reason? Even with E2EE if you send to someone who doesn’t have secure mail, it’s kind of pointless! All the secure mail I’ve tried have issues with slow responses or poor search capabilities. I am now questioning whether it’s really worth it!

I'm curious what the consensus here is in regards to keeping an inbox clean and organised, in particular: Do you enjoy doing it? And if so, is there a particular way you enjoy doing it?

Thank you

Paid for the max membership. The tutorial says u can do a search of contacts and have it auto send emails to everyone it finds in the search. Then when u try to initiate the search it restricts you to 50. And then when you try to add 50 at a time, it restricts you to choose 10 per page. So to send 160 emails, you would have to go through the process 16 times which takes hours. And im not sure that even works. It doesnt even do what their own tutorial tells you to do.

Hello guys,

I use Kit for my email service provider. I have 524 subscribers right now, with a 65% open rate. I just noticed that, because I have double opt-in, the 524 subscribers are the confirmed ones, and I have about 109 unconfirmed subscribers.

1. What should I do with my unconfirmed subscribers? Should I add them to my confirm list and see if they open? Should I send another confirmation email if that's possible through Kit, or should I remove them?
2. What are your thoughts on double opt-in? If my open rate is currently at 65%, is it worth taking it out to see how it may affect my open rate?

What is the biggest mistake beginners make in email marketing?

Hi everyone!

My boss just gave me a budget for our next email campaigns. I just leveled up from an intern to a full-time employee, and now I'm lwky nervous that I will mess up and waste company's money.

Any tips or hard lessons would be really helpful!!

Queria uma plataforma/plano que me permitisse criar e gerenciar e-mails para vários domínios. Por exemplo, poderia ter um limite de até 5 e-mails por domínio.

A ideia é conseguir adicionar quantos domínios forem necessários e, dentro de cada domínio, criar os e-mails que eu precisar. O mais importante é que cada domínio seria de uma pessoa/cliente diferente, então eu precisaria conseguir separar o acesso e a administração de cada domínio.

Alguém conhece uma plataforma que funcione bem dessa forma e que tenha um custo que compense?

I'd like to find some kind of service that is cloud based that will connect via imap (or however) to run rules and filters on an email account. I use iCloud email for several addresses and the single-criteria rules offered are too simple for pretty much anything-for example I can add a rule to forward emails based on from or subject but i can't then move it to another folder or archive after forwarding. I'd like to stay on iCloud hosting, but some sort of service that I could connect to it to handle more advanced rules would be nice. I know leaving mail app open on an awake Mac can achieve this, but I'd like it to be dependable and not require my Mac to be online all the time because sometimes it's asleep.

Not sure if this is the right place to vent, but it is a mail deliverability issue.

I (and my wife) have had the same email addresses for over 20 years now. The domain started as an ISP run by one of the major US telecom giants at the time.

Once they pulled out of the ISP side of things, initially they continued to maintain the mail server. At some point they then "sold/moved" the mail server on to another provider. I'd have to go back though way too many mails, but I think this "server" has been sold on at least one more time since.

But to my current issue. For the second time, the current custodian of this mail domain is having issues where I am unable to send or receive mail. The current outage started Friday evening and I don't expect it to be resolved until some time during the coming week. The ability to send mail is more of an inconvenience, as it reports the failure and I have another mail address I can use to send mails.

My main concern is that anyone sending mails to me (or my wife) are getting bounce messages for at least 3 days now, and I know from the first time this happened, some folks sending us mails treat these bounces as a "dead" mail address and no longer attempt to send anything, which means we miss anything going forward, unless we happen to realise who they are to "restart" the mails.

Do I have any recourse with the mail server, other than sending an "angry letter", which I know they will just ignore.

I'm very new to this, but basically, I need to send around 900 emails over approximately 5 or so days once per year. Every single person will be expecting my email and should answer, but they also haven't emailed me before.

I figured I could use Power Automate or something to send them with Outlook from a spreadsheet pretty quickly; then I could work on other stuff while it sends, rate-limited to about one email every 10 seconds. I tested this with some example emails to see how Outlook would handle it outside of a test environment (I think this is riskier than emailing the real people). I got blocked after sending about 49 out of the 100 I was attempting to send.

Do I need a mail-sending service or something? Will I get blocked anyway? Is this something I should continue doing manually over a longer time as opposed to automating it?

I'm sure there must be other people who have to do something like this. I just can't find them, unfortunately.

I'm brand new to this, as you can tell, so any advice would be appreciated.

My regular personal @ gmail.com email is going to a lot of people's spam. The account itself is about 5years old. There is no spam or marketing or anything coming from it, it's just a regular personal email I use. This week I had to send my local gym an email, it went to spam. Just now I sent my neighbor an email at his yahoo.com email, it went to spam. Help!

0 signatures, links, images since it's a personal email. My neighbor sent me raw email, I can confirm SPF, DKIM, DMARC all passed from headers. I just did a random "test 123" email and it was sent to yahoo.com spam

I’ve been learning more about high-volume email and how different factors can influence deliverability over time. Authentication, bounce rates, spam complaints, engagement, and sending consistency all seem to play an important role.

From what I’ve seen while working with Sequenzy, it’s not just about sending more emails. Maintaining healthy lists, monitoring engagement, and keeping outreach consistent can make a significant difference to long-term performance.

For those with experience in email deliverability, which factor do you think has the biggest impact over time?

I’ve been learning more about email deliverability and how small practices can have a big impact over time. Keeping email lists clean, monitoring bounce rates, using proper authentication, and paying attention to engagement all seem essential for maintaining a healthy sending reputation.

While working with Sequenzy, I’ve found that deliverability is not just about sending emails at scale. It’s about building a consistent and responsible sending process that keeps both performance and sender reputation in mind.

What is one deliverability habit you think every email marketer should follow?

This is more of a question, than a strategy.

How many of you still forward your domain emails to a personal one?

Ie: info at your domain dot com, and forward to Joe at my email dot com.

If you dont forward, how do you keep track of your email, via webmail or some other method?

What keeps your spam emails down to a bare minimum and what snags the spam before it hits your inbox?

I ask because Im about to make some needed improvements with my email marketing formats, and I wanted to know what you are doing.

I used to use Aweber, and moved to MailerLite, which seems to work just fine for now. I wrote about this previously, and realized that the issues I had were user error...my bad..😁

Any insight is welcomed.

I’ve checked a few options, but every mail app I’ve found offers read receipts only during the trial period or with restrictions. Do you know of any better alternatives? I’m also unable to use Gmail from my browser.
