Email testing tools FAQ
What does an email testing tool do?
An email testing tool allows you to preview, validate, and troubleshoot email campaigns before sending. These tools simulate how your emails render across devices, clients (e.g., Gmail, Outlook), and screen sizes. They also detect issues like broken links, accessibility problems, load times, and spam filter triggers—helping you ensure deliverability, design consistency, and optimal user experience.
What types of email issues can Mailgun’s testing tools detect?
Mailgun can detect issues such as spam triggers, broken HTML formatting, missing authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC), and inconsistent rendering across different email clients.
Why do I need to test my emails?
Testing ensures your emails display correctly across clients and devices, avoiding layout issues or broken functionality. It also helps catch deliverability problems, like spam triggers or domain authentication failures (DKIM, SPF, DMARC). Without testing, you risk losing credibility, conversions, or getting flagged by spam filters—especially in a fragmented email client ecosystem.
Can I test emails across different devices and clients?
Yes, Mailgun’s testing software allows you to preview how your emails appear in various email clients, including Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail, and mobile devices.
Does Mailgun work with transactional and marketing emails?
Yes, Mailgun supports both transactional and marketing emails, ensuring they are properly formatted, optimized, and compliant with email best practices.
What happens if I don’t test my emails?
Not testing your email can lead to inconsistent rendering, broken designs, and deliverability issues. Your email might look perfect in Gmail but completely fail in Outlook. Broken links, unreadable layouts, or failed authentication can reduce engagement and increase bounce rates. Worst case: your message lands in spam or damages your sender reputation.
