About testing emails
When you send a test email, the Email To Script will not be used; instead, the email
will be sent to the address that you specify in the Send Test Email dialog. If you
have a Litmus account, you can enter your Litmus test address. To make the test
address appear by default, you can set the default test address in the Email
Preferences: select Window > Preferences, click the arrow next to Email, click
General and type the test address next to Email Test address.
For a description of how to test your email for different email clients, see this how-to:
Test your emails with Litmus. For more information on Litmus, please see

Tip
For a detailed description of how to use Mandrill with Connect to send and track emails, see the

Using an ESP with PrintShop Mail Connect
An email service provider (ESP) is a company that offers email marketing or bulk email
services.
This topic explains why and how to use an ESP with PrintShop Mail Connect
Reasons to use an ESP
These are a number of reasons why you would need an ESP:
l ESPs ensure a high deliverability, as most ESPs are whitelisted or approved by ISPs
(Internet Service Providers) as legitimate email delivery service. So they help you to avoid
having mail detected as spam.
l ESPs provide comprehensive tracking options to measure open rates and they log which
links were clicked and by who. Typically this information is available via an online
dashboard.
