I’ve just purchased your template. When I test in my mac mail client the date icon and text don’t break below the logo. Also, in the body content the four icons with text headings don’t break either. The two columns aren’t stacking into one… I have not made any changes. All I did was email page to myself for testing in IOS mail client.

Under description it says compatible with apple mail…

I got it working with MailChimp

Hi indeago,

Thanks for purchasing Idea Mail, I’m glad you were able to use the template in Mailchimp. The template is compatible with both Mac Mail & iPhone native email app in terms of viewing/receiving the template, Mac Mail removes the doctype declaration when sending the email, which causes such bug you described on webkit based browsers/apps preventing the TDs from being displayed as blocks, so it’s best to send the email from any email client/app which doesn’t strip out the doctype declaration such as Mailchimp, Vertical Response, etc…

Regards.

Hello! Looks like a nice set of designs. Has anything changed since release and do you still support this pack? Looking to buy and use for Vertical Response.

Thanks!

Hi denworx,

Thanks for your interest in Idea Mail. Current release of Idea Mail is updated & compatible with major email clients and yes we give support to this product.

It should work fine in Vertical Response’s (Freeform editor).

Regards.

Thanks for the reply and support assurance! I will give it a try and join the Gifky products club! :)

Thanks denworx, hope you will enjoy using Idea Mail :)

Hi, I have a pre purchase question, will i be able to send emails using this template from outlook? I can import the html but will the design remain intact?

thanks!

Hi mdavda909,

Thanks for your interest in Idea Mail.

We do not recommend sending this template from Outlook as this will make the template not responsive anymore. For responsive templates we recommend professional services which doesn’t strip out any code like Mailchimp for example (they have free plan option), if you are looking for a template that can be sent from Outlook please check out Fresh Newsletter and Delicious Mail 1 & 2.

Regards.

Hi, Thanks for the Quick reply, We have to use outlook as we are going to send transactional email from our POS software which uses outlook to send its emails. is it possible to get a demo file of Delicious mail 2 so i could check it from outlook?

Hi,

Great work!!!

Got 1 question. I changed the top banner area to a background image and a editable text area (where the blue square is). On mac everything looks great but on pc the top banner doesn’t show up. Hopefully you can think of the answer…

Grtz K.

Hi newmonkeys,

Thanks for purchasing Idea Mail, Outlook 2007 and above (Windows versions) has limited support for background images, if that’s not the issue feel free to send me email with the edited layout attached to gifkynet {@} gmail.com and I’ll check it.

Regards.

Send the mail, tnx in forward.

What is the shortcode to send a facebook message via the top link, which is able to show the subject of the email, and the url of the email post? In mailchimp.

Thanks, J

Hi weco,

Not sure if I understand your question, for a list of possible merge tags you can refer to Mailchimp merge tags guide here.

Hey can i integrate this with the Emma email client?

Hi webrunnermediagroup,

Thanks for your interest in Idea Mail. According to myemma.com: html templates and responsive templates you can use any HTML email template, also a responsive template like Idea Mail.

Regards.

Hey can i integrate this with the Emma email client?

Really great layouts, we are enjoying the template. We want to match the green of our webpage however (#729e3d). What is the best approach to changing the colour? I opened the psd file like your help documentation suggests, however do I need to open each item and change the colour, then when i save does it rewrite all the jpegs already in images, or do I need to save all the elements individually? Sorry i have never editted a theme’s psd file before.

Thanks

Hi jamrod,

Thanks for purchasing Idea Mail. Yes, you need to change color of all elements which are used in the layout which you want to use, once you’ve done that, choose save for web and devices and select “All user slices” (this is covered with screenshot in the help file in the part “Photoshop files editing tips”), new images will overwrite the old ones.

Regards.

Hi, First off thank you for a great theme!

I’m working with the html layouts and everything seems fine except that the entire email is shifted over to the right. How can i make everything line up on the left side rather than centered?

Hi VistaMatic,

Thanks for purchasing Idea Mail, if you are using Dreamweaver the layout could appear shifted to the right side due to some bug in Dreamweaver with tables but this is only during editing the template in Dreamweaver and once you view it anywhere you won’t see that issue. If you want to force Dreamweaver to render it correctly remove the “margin: 0 auto;” from the .row tables, but I would rather just ignore the way Dreamweaver renders it as it won’t effect how the email renders in any browser or email client.

If that’s not the issue you are facing, please send me the layout you have edited and a screenshot of the issue to gifkynet {@} gmail.com and I will check it.

Regards.

Hello Gifki, May I know if it is possible to have the link “FORWARD” in order the clients to send the newsletter to others? Many thanks for your answer.

Hi alatorre61,

Thanks for your interest in Idea Mail, any automated forward button needs to be handled by the email marketing service you are using, otherwise you can upload an online version of the newsletter to your website and use a forward link from addthis.com which points to the online version.

Regards.

Hello! I think of acquisition of your Email Template for use in the Mozilla Thunderbird e-mail client. Please report, whether there is for you a descriptive file (instruction) about that how to apply Email Template in the Mozilla Thunderbird e-mail client.

Thank you very much!

Sorry. Advise me please. Maybe for my purposes other more suitable Email Template from your collection. For example Delicious Mail 2, or the other?

Hi alburlak,

All our email templates which are not responsive can be sent from Mozilla Thunderbird, so Delicious Mail 1 and 2, Clean Mail, Rocket Mail, etc… will be fine.

Regards.

hey there – i am absolutely new to mailchimp. i am working with wordpress and have mailchimp connencted.

1) can i use theses templates to replace (or in addition) to the mailchimp templates? 2) this does come with an own control/layout panel? 3) do these templates cover the newsletter templates only or also the backend forms from mailchimp (such as welcome mail, unsubscribe, etc..)? 4) are all fields translatable?

thanks in advance

Hi aovivo,

Thanks for your interest in Idea Mail, here are the answers for your questions:

1- Yes you can add/import any layout you wish to Mailchimp. 2- No it doesn’t come with control panel, once you follow the documentation to import it into Mailchimp you will be able to edit the images and text in Mailchimp directly. 3- It cover both newsletters and other automated system emails, if you want to use it as a template for unsubscribe or welcome email etc… you will need to host the images on your hosting-space/server then update the location of the images in the template to read from the new location. 4- Yes all fields either text which you can translate directly or images which you can edit their text in Photoshop then export them.

Regards.

Hi,

How can we change the “Introducing our new collection” image/text?

Thanks

Hi Prepenligne,

Thanks for purchasing Idea Mail. To edit that banner you need to open elements.psd file (you will find such file inside each color folder). After you edit that banner export it like explained in the help documentation file.

Hope that helps. Regards.

Hello, I have this product. It supports video embedded? Best

Hi besanson,

Yes you can insert videos following the method described in this link. In general many email clients/programs doesn’t support video embedding, but following that method (described in the previous link) will result in displaying picture with link to the video whenever the program doesn’t support displaying the video.

Regards.

Hi There,

i am friend of brain kelly . i want to ask you one question . currently i am building email newsletter plugin for wordpress .

so can i use your templates for it . means my plugin’s user can only use some templates but they can not edit or resell it .

Thanks.

Hi MarketProper,

Thanks for purchasing Idea Mail, for that kind of usage you would need to purchase extended license, in case you plan to sell the plugin on CodeCanyon would need to know which files from the newsletter will be included in the download, feel free to contact me via my profile.

Regards.

Hey thanks for help , i just need some css code , not any other file not a full css , just some selectors.

I see, extended license would cover it in that case.

Regards.

Having an issue with insert logo into header. The constrants are currently 255×17 however my logo is 255×80. Is there a way to change this?

Hi ignitemc,

Thanks for purchasing Idea Mail. Current logo is 126×17. You can insert bigger logo instead of it and it should be fine. Just to be safe try to not exceed 255px width. If you have any other questions feel free to contact me via my profile contact form.

Regards.

i am using this with mail chimp. I need to make this slightly wider. Whenever I add an image (product) i am limited to something like 150px in size. I need to be able to make the product images bigger and the template does not let me. If I import an image and make it 250px or so it keeps it confined to the box and distorts the image.

Hi frankic,

Thanks for purchasing Idea Mail, I assume you want to place that 250px images instead of the 100px icons in layout #2, by default the images have max-width of the parent table to ensure they remain responsive, for those tables the width is 130px all you need to do is to either locate that table which contains the icon and change width=”130” to width=”280” or you can open the layout in any text editor and search for

width="130"
and replace it with
width="280"

Feel free to contact me via my profile contact form if you have any other questions.

Regards.

I just bought this template. Need some help Do you have a instruction manual how to create the HTML newsletter, when to upload it (also where to put the hosted images) and how to redirect to them the HTML? Best

Thank you for purchasing Idea Mail.

Please check the Help Documentation included inside the download package. It should give you idea how to edit and send the template. For sending it’s best to use service like Mailchimp (they host images for you and sending template from Mailchimp is covered in the Help file).

If after checking Help file you will have any doubts feel free to contact me via my profile contact form :)

Regards.
