As you already know GMAIL changed their inbox system. Now promo mail goes to the promo tab. Can your optin mail hit recipients' inbox IF you use SMTP servers and your own hosted mailing system instead of Mailchimp, getresponse, or aweber?

NOTE: This is for optin email. I'm not talking about spiced ham here.

I don't have a promo-tab and I am able to deliver plenty of mails that are both opened and clicked on via ynot's mail system.

Not sure where gmail rolled that out. But certainly not here, not for private nor commercial mailboxes.

Interesting. Are you in the US? I'm overseas and my default GMAIL layout had those tabs. I had to change my settings to roll it back to the old layout.

No I am on the same side of the pond as you are. Very strange indeed, I guess I probably just turned it off or something:

Knowing gmail, we all end up being forced to use that layout.

I have a Promo tab, but those emails seem to hit both inbox and there.

Hello there, same here. My gmail has Primary, Social and Promotions. I think this is the method of Gmail to separate the type of email's relevance

DamianJ · 08-16-2013, 01:28 AM

Gmail has rolled this out and no one really knows the bits that trigger it going into promo. I am guessing leaving out text that reads like a promo email would be the key. So no "click here", no "special offer" etc.

Lichen · 08-16-2013, 02:56 AM

i turned the tabs off

Milan_Quantox · 08-16-2013, 03:50 AM

Turned them off the minute they showed

Don't know how they separate them by relevance

Yes.

scottybuzz · 08-16-2013, 05:46 AM

surely gmail can work it out via ip? If one IP has a reputation of sending out thousands of emails and has a less than 50% open rate then it goes to promo?

Yup, that'd be another variable fo' sho'.

I never send promotional mail like other ESP out there. What I have done from the beginning is a personalized email. Meaning just like a normal email that we used from day to day no designs and etc just pure words and a link on it.

With personal messages.
