Airmail! - Customizable Email Template

Top job! Nice to see a new addition to the Themeforest arsenal!

Incredible… exactly what I’ve been looking for! Excellent work!

Congratulations on your mail template. It’s fantastic! I can not receive mail in Outlook correctly. The background does not appear, etc …

You know how I fix it?

really like this. thinking of getting it for my newsletter. I assume it would be easy to past the html into aweber.

I’m feeling a bit robbed here. You say it works gmail but when looking at the newsletter in it, all background images are stripped leaving a pretty bare email.

Also gmail strips styles (which should have been embedded in the table) so the newsletter is not all smooth like the demo, it’s fairly raw.

Credit is due for PSD ’s provided and the column layouts are handly, but that’s about it.

I spent about 5hrs recoding it to look pretty similar in gmail and nothing gets stripped.. it now looks like it does in browser.

Not having a go mate, the design is nice, but you honestly can’t say this works in gmail.

Hell Brandon!

I’m also having problems in Gmail and Outlook 2007. I’ve sent you an email with some screen shots.

Thank you, Costin

It’s a great design, thanks. It was just what we were looking for and we have published the first edition, but it does not work in Outlook 2007 and Gmail. We have tried a couple of workarounds but cannot get it to work. Please let us know if you fix it. Thanks, Buddy

Hi epicera

I greatly look forward to the update for Gmail and Outlook2007.

I bought this template in a bit of a hurry because the design is EXACTLY what I was looking for and I needed to get the mailing list for the project I was working on up and running immediately! (Which is the reason I was looking for a premium template rather than just coding one myself).

It’s a great design, mate.

The promo material on the live preview said “Works in all email clients” and (foolishly) I didn’t read this comments thread or I would have been aware of the issue.

Had I read this thread, I would have passed because an email template that doesn’t work with Gmail is, in my opinion, next to useless.

[I’m relatively new to Envato so lesson learnt right there. Note to self: ALWAYS read the comments before purchasing! Duh!]

Also, I notice that the header and footer don’t align correctly in Firefox. They’re fine with IE, but not Firefox. It looks about 1px or 2px out to the left (or maybe the body is out 1px to the right???).

This may or may not be an issue in different email clients (I don’t know), but it’s no good for a web-version of a newsletter (as in “Click here to read the latest newsletter in your browser”).

I very much look forward to an updated download when this issue has been resolved.

Cheers,

Thanks for the fast reply.

Look forward to it.

Best, TheNightOwl

Disappointed, It doesn’t work with Outlook 2007, backgrond images stripped out. I spent 2 days trying to get it to work with Groupmail, Mailchimp, Interspire Email Marketer. Nope. Simply it doesn’t go. You can’t use styled CSS in the head, you have to inline styles in the elements. hope for a bugfix soon.

I’m having issues as well with not only Gmail, but also with Apple Mail. In Apple mail, the background images show up fine, but any other images (logo, footer, ect.).

It attaches one of the images to the email also, so strange.

When can we expect the update?

I agree with the above post, GREAT design, but without Gmail functionality, basically useless.

@TheNightOwl:

“Also, I notice that the header and footer don’t align correctly in Firefox.”

This is an issue with using centered images along with ‘static’ images that should align. If you take Firefox out of full screen mode then alter the width slowly, you can see the header and body images do a little dance.

The issue can be solved by adding a table within the header section to mirror the structure of the body section.

Header structure: table > tr#header > centered background image

Body structure: table > tr > td > table.main > tr > td > image that is the exact size of the table

By the way, this is a very nice template. Consider it offered in my next job proposal.

Hello Epicera!

Any news regarding the update? Some of us really need to use this great template!

Thanks, Costin

I hate to ask you again, but is the update ready?

Have I missed the fix for this. Should would like to use it. Thanks, Buddy

Hi Brandon,

Great template, thanks!

One question…

I am designing this for a client, and I want to allow her to swap out the images and copy for her quarterly newsletter.

I opened it in textedit to test it and can’t seem to change the images…

Do you have a solution for the best way for a client to do basic editing? FYI : She works on a PC.

Thanks for your time.

Hi,

Just wanted to put myself on the list for the bug fix too… Having same problems as others…

I know you are busy fixing it.. Thanks for doing that… I know technically you don’t have to but I think we all appreciate you doing it for us.

Have a good one, Will

Hey is the update out yet?

I’m still having some issues getting the editable content portion to work for mailchimp…

Thanks!!!

If your having trouble putting the styles inline – for use in Gmail, try using this online utility: premailer(dot)dialect(dot)ca

epicera replied:

Yep – the updates coming out at the end of the week

Posted 24 days ago

Is there a way for us to know you’ve updated the GMail issues… without having to come back and check the comments?

I know your probably really busy, but I am need of help Basically, I bought this beautiful newsletter template that I wanted to use, but it does not seem to be compatible with outlook 2007 even thou it accourding to the item attributes below compatible email clients says “microsoft outlook”. I have checked here, on twitter, tubmlr and on your blogg for answers without any success.

So I hope that you or anyone else are able to assist me

Hello

Having the same issue as swmab.

But I don’t have a lot of time to wait for a fix, so if it’s not on the way I will have to start on another….

Do you know when or if the outlook compatibillity will be fixed?

””“If your having trouble putting the styles inline – for use in Gmail, try using this online utility: premailer(dot)dialect(dot)ca”””

—- has anyone used this with any results with this template?

Has the gmail issue been fixed? Is there a way to tell when you posted the most recent update?

I have fixed the right sidebar airmail and it is now compatible with all emails

Hi, Epicera

Two months since purchasing this email template and I’m still wondering if the update – with inline styles so that’s compatible with Outlook & Gmail – has been completed.

I went about 10 pages deep into your Twitter-stream (as per comment above), but couldn’t find anything. (Maybe I was moving too quickly; I have no interest in reading everything there, frankly)

If you could let me know (a) if the update has been done, and (b) where I can ACTUALLY get hold of it so that I can use what I’ve paid for, that would be great.

Thanks.

TheNightOwl

Actually, three months; not two.

I echo the sentiment of NightOwl… I still haven’t seen evidence that you’ve paid much attention to these fixes. Update???
