🚀 New Look UI - Stage 1

  • New Theme
    Taking inspiration from material design, the interface has been simplified giving it a cleaner, bolder, more minimalistic design.
  • New Colours
    Introducing new colours, relating to the different sections within Maxemail, makes navigation across the whole platform clearer and more understandable. Only using colour where it adds meaning allows for quicker recognition of open items and means that Maxemail can "get out of your way", only highlighting the significant information you need to know.
  • New Icons
    Reworked icons, simplified with a unified theme. Using bold, simple shapes, to help with fast recognition of different items and tools.
  • Everything where you left it!
    Completely backwards compatible, everything previously created will remain available and can be found in the same places. Existing users can continue to use Maxemail with minimal interruption to their usual working routine.

🔆 Improved

  • Automatic Name Prefixes
    In both recurring emails and split tests, Maxemail will now automatically prefix the email name with the base campaign title making it easier to distinguish individual sends in places like the dashboard.
  • Organised Recurring Email
    Maxemail now automatically organises your recurring email sends making them easier to review and report on. Options are set to monthly by default but weekly is also a manual option available.
  • Drop Support For IE9
    In line with current Microsoft guidelines, Maxemail is officially no longer supported in IE9.

✅ Fixed

  • Encrypted URLs with query strings sometimes fail
  • Send log date picker display glitch
  • Email Builder crop tool off by 1 pixel in certain cases
  • Copy split test doesn't select currently active folder
  • Manage tag conflicts
