The latest Mail Designer 365 version focuses on giving you more flexibility with your designs and a smoother workflow on the latest macOS. Here is a look at what’s new in Mail Designer 365.

New: Direct PNG Export

Improved: Better Design Intelligence

The Preflight Check tool is your copilot for successful email design. Before you hit send, the Preflight Check will run, making sure you've covered all bases.

This update brings two useful updates to the Preflight Check to give you even more peace of mind before sending:

  1. Smarter Preflight for Mobile: Our Preflight Check now automatically alerts you if there are "detached" layout blocks in your mobile view. This ensures your responsive design stays perfectly aligned on every smartphone:

    The Preflight Check provides a hint if you have separate mobile and desktop blocks

  2. Instant Image Optimization: If your email contains large images, Preflight Check now offers a direct shortcut to the image optimization tool, so you can crunch those kilobytes in one click:

Fixed: Further Improvements in this Version

As well as the new features added in this version, we’ve also been working hard under the hood to ensure Mail Designer is running smoothly:

  • macOS 26 Tahoe Support: We fixed an issue where some images couldn't be imported via Drag & Drop on the newest macOS version. Drag away!
  • Reliable Alt-Texts: Updates to image Alt-Texts are now saved instantly and reliably, ensuring your emails remain accessible.
  • Perfect Spacing: We’ve corrected a bug that caused incorrect margins in some exported designs. Your final result will now match your editor view pixel-for-pixel.
  • Team Organization: The sorting order of Team Documents now stays exactly as you left it, even after refreshing the list.

As always, this update includes general stability improvements and small bug fixes to keep your creative process as smooth as possible.

What's new in Mail Designer 365 V5.1?

Introducing Blueprints: An easier way to send 1:1 emails from the Mail Designer app

What are Blueprints?

Frequently sending personalized designs like quotes, invoices, or exposés? Blueprints let you send 1:1 emails over and over again without overwriting the original design. Everything stays intact, ensuring consistency and a smooth workflow for your whole team.

Here's how they work:

Define any TeamCloud design as a Blueprint (your team will love it: one member creates the Blueprint, and everyone can use it!)

Project Blueprints are saved in their own section in the Mail Designer 365 sidebar. Just click the + to create a new design draft using your Blueprint:

Personalize your message, then hit Direct Mail to send:

A copy of your newly created email will be saved in TeamCloud for future reference.

Need to make changes to the original?

Tweak a Blueprint at any time—update the disclaimer, change the logo, or add new content. Just choose Edit original:

Use your Mail Designer designs with our FileMaker API

Leverage your tired & tested Mail Designer templates and send personalized, branded emails using data from your FileMaker records. No manual formatting, no HTML export. Easy setup.

Once integrated, you can edit your designs anytime in Mail Designer 365. Update logos, change the text, add seasonal styles — all without touching a single FileMaker script.

Free demo and useful links

Placeholders: Easily integrate polished email designs anywhere

Use the new placeholder content panel to personalize your email templates. You can fill these placeholders later using any programming language via our new API.

Further improvements in this version
