Three New Things in Your Plugin

& 80,000 websites

Just last week, we reached 80,000 active websites for MailPoet version 3. This milestone is a testament of our efforts to add value to the free plugin. In fact, nearly all the improvements in MailPoet in the last year were for free users.

Now for recent news. We're getting better at communicating our new features and changes within the plugin with in-app announcements.

We recently had 3 significant improvements to MailPoet recently in case you missed the pulsating red dot in the MailPoet admin pages:

1. 15 new (and pretty) templates. Read more below.
2. Get email notifications in your inbox when a visitor signs up
3. New cron option for the task scheduler (for power users)

Otherwise, the MailPoet team is currently laser focused on general user experience for new users and improvements in sending for edge cases.

You like to read lines of codes? You can see what we're working directly on our plugin's GitHub repository which we recently made public.

Download Premium For Free

The Premium add-on to MailPoet is available for a limited time as a free trial.

The Premium plugin of MailPoet allows you to:

  • See detailed stats for each email sent
  • Remove the MailPoet logo in the footer of your emails
  • Send to more than 2,000 subscribers (if you send with your host or third party, and not with MailPoet)
15-new-templates

15 New & Beautiful Templates

We've added 15 new templates and deleted older ones. We want to inspire you to find designs that match your style. If we haven't, do reply to this email with your feedback.

You can see previews of these new templates directly in MailPoet on your website.

Look in the different categories of emails, like Welcome Emails and Post Notifications to see all of them.

Templates can be used for any email type, for example, you can use a Welcome Email template for your own standard newsletter if you like.

MailPoet and Gutenberg

gutenberg-logo
You're safe. MailPoet and Gutenberg don't interact with one another, so you won't get issues when WordPress 5.0 comes out next month.

Our upcoming website redesign is built with Gutenberg. We're quite pleased with it and believe that it's the way forward for WordPress.
Should MailPoet use Gutenberg as the default email editor?

Using Holler Box to Set up Simple Pop-up Forms

We like the Holler Box. It's the least annoying form of pop-up.

It's easy to set up, regularly updated and it's free. Isn't that how most plugins should be?

Links That Got Us Chatting

We share a lot of links between ourselves at MailPoet. Here are some we thought you might like too. Enjoy!


  • Need a new logo for free? Let the creative mind of AI give you one instantly with this tool. Results are pretty decent.
  • Want to improve your capacity to remember what you read? Simply install this font on your Chrome and start reading any content with it. What's the trick? It makes it harder to read... not sure how useful that is, but it's worth the exercise.
  • The founder of Linux is stepping back from his unique leadership role. Why? His legendary rudeness caught up with him.
  • MailPoet is a distributed team with no office. This means we avoid a lot of politics. This TechCrunch article sums it up pretty well. Automattic, the company behind WordPress, is mentioned throughout.
  • Boston Dynamics keeps impressing us with their robotic dogs. Like millions of others, you should watch this fun video. What is their business model though? Hmmmm...
  • Banksy banksied us again.
  • If you like Twitter and enjoy pictures of ducks, follow this account right now.
The End.
