Email Test Product Overview

Email Rendering Tools

Are your emails rendering correctly?

The Problem:
Your customers use a variety of clients to view their emails from desktop programs such as Outlook, Entourage, Thunderbird and Mac Mail to web-based programs like Gmail, Hotmail and Yahoo. Each email client has its own rules on how it renders CSS, plain text and HTML messages and many times these rules vary considerably from one version to the next.

If you wanted to do test it yourself, you would need to create an account in all the free web-based ISPs, purchase and install each desktop client, and set up a few virtual machines in order to test across various platforms. And, even with each of these clients installed, it can be tricky to figure out what is supported by each client by simply by looking at the end result.

Simply put - designing and coding an HTML email that renders consistently across all major email clients can be very time consuming and down right frustrating.

Email testing made simple!

The Solution:
Our email test not only renders your code in the top 15 most popular email clients but it will also show you exactly which lines of code where not supported by each client. Better yet, you can send the results directly to your clients for final approval!

This test can be used to efficiently optimize each of your emails prior to sending so that you maximize rendering, user readability and performance!
