Navigation:  Getting started guide - Mass Mailing News > Main screen of our Mass mailing software

 

 

This window of our mass mailing software allows you to access the files, formats, views, insertions, contacts, groups, subscriptions, tools, e-mail sending and help.

 

 

From the main screen of our mass mailing program you can access the creation of new mailing lists, new messages, attached files, contact lists, notes, printing and many other features.

 

From the menu located on the right, you can access the page properties, including image properties, links and other elements of the message.

 

From the bottom of the main window, at the left, you can access the message design and coding modes, the HTML and text preview of the message. On the right corner, you can see the total number of contacts, the total number of selected contacts, the status, the total number of e-mails that have been successfully sent and the total number of e-mails that couldn’t be sent.

 

 

If you want to track your promotional campaigns online and get detailed results, we strongly recommend you to subscribe to the tracking service offered by Management-Ware Solutions.

 

In the “Default sender’s information” tab, you can find the following fields: “Sender email, “Sender’s name”, “Subject”, “Reply to”, “CC”, “BCC”, “Priority”, “e-mail ID”, “Enable e-mail tracking service”, and “Auto add tracking code to non tracking links”.

 

 

If you check the box next to “Enable e-mail tracking service” you must previously have an online account for this service. Without the online account, you will not be able to do the promo campaign tracking through the Management-Ware Solutions system.

 

When you have checked the box, the program automatically adds a tracking code to the message. And when you’ve checked the box next to “Automatically add tracking code to non tracking links”, the program automatically adds a tracking code on each hyperlink that doesn’t have a tracking code in the message.

 

The field “e-mail ID” - For a better message administration, we recommend you to add an “ID” (identification number). When you are subscribed to the online tracking service, this ID will be used to track the messages you have sent.

 

When the Edit menu item “Use the contact lists manager” is selected, every time that you open the program, the “Email contact list manager” will be displayed. If you don’t want the “Email contact list manager” window to be displayed, then we recommend you to uncheck the selection through the Edit menu.

 

 

The list manager will allow you to rapidly choose and open an existing list. You can also add new contact lists. The manager displays the “List name”, the “Group” and the “Database type”, for example: SQL Server or ecl. The files that have the “ecl” extension are documents created by Mass Mailing News.
