Send from your email platform

Use a dedicated render address to check the message your provider delivers, not just the editor preview.

HTML and .eml files with an upload arrow

Upload HTML or an email file

Start an earlier design check from HTML, or import an exported .eml file when you already have the message.

An email with repeat arrows for another preview check

Repeat the same client checks

Save a target profile and compare matching clients after a change so a correction is easy to verify.

Check the design, the links and the inbox.

A good-looking email still needs working links and a place in the inbox. Pair device previews with Email Audit and a separate inbox placement test through your sending provider.

Review provider-by-provider placement, investigate sender-domain issues and fix content problems before the campaign goes out.

Keep work moving

Inspect completed targets while the run progresses. Notifications bring the team back when the results need a review.

Preview delivered emails before customers see them

Review the campaign across supported email clients and configured render targets, compare results, and inspect the source HTML before the campaign reaches customers.

How email previews work

Keep creating campaigns in your usual editor. Check the delivered email in MailSlurp before you send it to customers.

Send a test email

Create a MailSlurp render address and send a test from your email provider. Choose the clients and display modes your audience uses.

Fix what breaks

Review the screenshots for cropped text, missing images and unreadable buttons. Make corrections in your editor, send another test and compare the affected client again.

Share the checked version

Share the current result with your reviewers. Resolve comments after checking each fix, then get your team's sign-off before scheduling the campaign.

Choose MailSlurp for the whole campaign review

Check the clients your customers use, compare a corrected send and let your team know when the previews are ready.

Review results as they arrive

Start with completed client screenshots while the remaining targets finish. Compare Gmail with Outlook, then place your corrected campaign beside the previous run to see what changed. Save the client selection as a profile so the next campaign gets the same checks. Follow the side-by-side comparison workflow.

Get preview updates in Slack or Teams

Notify reviewers in Slack or Microsoft Teams when a render status changes. Open the linked result to check the available client previews, then share the corrected run with colleagues before launch. The email review guide helps your team agree who checks what before sending.

Buy previews around your campaign calendar

A launch week and a quiet month need different amounts of testing. Start free, then choose prepaid capacity or pay-as-you-go usage. Allow for the clients you test and the reruns after a fix when comparing plans and preview allowances. For a larger team's workload, talk to us about the right package.

Moving from Email on Acid or evaluating Inspect?

Make the decision with a campaign your team already knows.

Keep your ESP. Get more from the review.

Mailgun's migration guide describes the move from Email on Acid to Inspect for previews and pre-send QA. Use that moment to try MailSlurp's device coverage, light and dark modes, revision comparisons and flexible billing with your own campaign. Our HubSpot campaign example includes seven saved desktop results from an actual test send, so you can see what a review involves before starting.

Follow up on sender issues

If a placement test raises a concern, use domain health monitoring to investigate SPF, DKIM, DMARC, MX and blocklist findings. Keep appearance, content checks and sender health in the same MailSlurp workspace, with a clear result for each question.

Bring in automation when the team needs it

Campaign reviewers can start in the dashboard. Developers can use the device render API to create runs and retrieve results, then add email and SMS journey testing for verification codes, password resets and customer notifications.

Questions before your first preview?

What to know when choosing MailSlurp as your Mailgun Inspect alternative.

Is MailSlurp an alternative to Mailgun Inspect for email previews?

Yes. Send a test campaign to MailSlurp and preview the delivered email across supported desktop and mobile clients. Compare light and dark modes, review a revised campaign beside an earlier run, and share the results with your team. You can do it in the dashboard without writing code. Explore device previews.

How are Email on Acid and Mailgun Inspect related?

Mailgun provides a migration path from Email on Acid to Inspect for previews and pre-send checks. If you are reviewing your options during that move, try your next campaign in MailSlurp: keep your existing ESP, test the clients your audience uses, and review the results with your team. Compare MailSlurp for an Email on Acid switch.

Do I need to move my campaigns or change my email provider?

No. Keep creating and sending campaigns in HubSpot, Mailchimp, Klaviyo or your existing provider. Send a test to a MailSlurp render address to review the delivered message. You can also start with HTML or import an exported .eml email file. Follow the Mailchimp preview guide.

How should I compare email preview costs?

Count the campaigns, client targets and reruns you expect to review. MailSlurp offers prepaid capacity and pay-as-you-go usage, so you can match preview spending to your campaign schedule. Check the current plans for allowances and the options your team needs. See current preview plans.

Can reviewers use Slack or Microsoft Teams?

Yes. Configure render-status notifications for Slack or Microsoft Teams, then use the result link to open the previews. Add comments to a run or a particular client screenshot in MailSlurp, compare a corrected version and resolve the comments after review. Your team decides when the campaign is approved to send. Set up review notifications.

Does a good preview mean the campaign will reach the inbox?

Appearance and placement need separate checks. Pair MailSlurp previews with an inbox placement test sent from your own email provider to the supplied test addresses. Review the inbox, promotions and spam results for those mailboxes, and use domain health monitoring to investigate sender configuration. A test result is evidence for that send, not a guarantee for every recipient. Check inbox placement.

Send your next campaign with a clearer view.

Start free with one test email. See it on the clients your customers use, fix the surprises and bring your team into the review.
