Interspire Email Marketer 5.6 is Here!

We've just released version 5.6 of Interspire Email Marketer, our email marketing software. Version 5.6 is a free update for existing customers with valid maintenance and can be downloaded from the client area.

Although this is a minor update, it includes quite a few new and exciting features:

• An image manager which is separate from the WYSIWYG editor. The image manager makes it easy to manage all of your images in the one place. You can batch upload multiple images at once, edit, rename and delete, etc. The slick upload interface can easily hand hundreds of images at once
  
  
• 32 new email templates, which match those found in Interspire Shopping Cart - now your email marketing promotions can match the look and feel of your online store!
  
  
• The bounce processing wizard has been redesigned to be a LOT easier to use. It's now a clear, step-by-step wizard and mail server settings can be auto detected
  
  
• The WYSIWYG editor has been replaced with TinyMCE, which is much more stable. Functions such as unlimited undo/redo and copy/paste are now a lot more reliable
  
  
• There's a new dashboard with useful metrics (such as overall list activity and per-campaign reports), campaigns filtered by status, etc
  
  
• Your subscribers can confirm their unsubscribe request when they click an unsubscribe link in an email instead of being removed straight away
  
  
• For partners/agencies, you can now force a spam check on an email before send and not send if it fails (this is a per-user setting)
  
  
• For partners/agencies, you can now force double opt-in subscription verification when creating a website form (this is a per-user setting)
  
  
• For partners/agencies, autoresponder credits now count towards the monthly credit limit and you can automatically send "low credit" reminder emails to users when they hit certain thresholds (as defined by you from the Settings -> Email Credit Settings page)
  
  
• For partners/agencies, see created, last logged in and pending (delete/inactive) date on the view users page and sort by them
  
  
• For partners/agencies, there's now a link on the view users page to automatically login as that user
  
  
• For upgrading, the new Tools -> Check Database wizard will run tests to make sure database indexes exist, tables are not corrupt, etc
  

As I'm sure you'll agree, it's quite a significant update! If you're an existing Interspire Email Marketer customer with a valid maintenance period, you can download version 5.6 right now from the client area. Our upgrade instructions will step you through the process.
