Checking your design on different email clients

Checking your design on different email clients

Currently, you will need to use outside services to render email previews for various email clients. We recommend trying litmus.com to check out the previews of your email newsletters for different clients. You can send a test mail to this service and it lets the mail render on various email clients, captures the output, and then displays the previews.

To find your personal Litmus address that you can send your test emails to, log in to your Litmus account. Then click "Checklist" on the left hand side:

 

Afterwards, click "Start a new Checklist" found on the top right of the screen.

A popup window will appear where you can find your personal test email:
