A GetResponse email preview should show the campaign after it leaves the editor. MailSlurp receives the actual GetResponse test email and renders that delivered message across Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail, Yahoo, iPhone, iPad, Android, and desktop clients. This gives campaign reviewers concrete evidence for responsive layout, image loading, buttons, typography, footers, and dark mode before launch.

## Quick answer

To test a GetResponse email across clients and devices:

1. Open **Device Previews** in MailSlurp and create a render.
2. Select the Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail, iPhone, Android, and dark-mode targets that matter to your audience.
3. Copy the complete MailSlurp render address.
4. In GetResponse, link the newsletter to a dedicated list containing only the active MailSlurp render address.
5. Confirm the recipient count is one and choose **Send message**.
6. Return to MailSlurp and wait until every selected target is **Ready**.
7. Compare the screenshots and correct the campaign before launch.

Use the final sender, subject, preview text, body, images, links, personalization, footer, and unsubscribe content for the run.

## Before you begin

Use an approved sending address and a GetResponse account with sending enabled. A pending compliance review must be resolved by GetResponse before a real result can be produced.

Finish the campaign before testing. If the email uses personalization, select a representative profile or contact so fallback content, conditional sections, and merge fields can be reviewed in the delivered message.

### How the GetResponse test path works

GetResponse newsletters bind the sender, subject, linked list, and design before sending. When the test-message dialog only offers account addresses, place the current render address in a dedicated list and send the regular newsletter to that one controlled contact.

See the [GetResponse contact import documentation](https://www.getresponse.com/help/how-can-i-import-a-list-of-contacts.html) for the provider's current account and campaign requirements.

## Step 1: Create a MailSlurp device preview

Open [Device Previews](https://app.mailslurp.com/device-previews) and create a new render. Select a target set that represents your audience. A practical release check includes Gmail web and dark mode, Outlook.com, New Outlook, Outlook Classic, Apple Mail, iOS Mail, Gmail iOS, Gmail Android, Outlook iOS, Outlook Android, and Yahoo.

Copy the complete address from the active run. The address encodes the selected targets, so do not shorten it or reuse an address shown in a tutorial screenshot.

## Step 2: Prepare the final GetResponse message

Open the newsletter you intend to send. Confirm the visible From identity, reply handling, subject, preview text, images, links, personalization, footer, physical address, and unsubscribe content.

GetResponse's test-message dialog can be limited to account addresses. A one-contact regular newsletter send reaches the generated render address and preserves the configured sender for the check.

## Step 3: Send the GetResponse test email

In GetResponse, link the newsletter to a dedicated list containing only the active MailSlurp render address. Then confirm the recipient count is one and choose **Send message**. Use only the active MailSlurp render address for this device-preview run.

![GetResponse newsletter review with green callouts around the render-only list, final subject, and one-recipient audience](/assets/guides/getresponse-device-rendering/02-getresponse-device-send.webp)

Wait for GetResponse to confirm that the test was accepted. Do not close the campaign until the saved content and recipient are correct.

## Step 4: Wait for every client to finish

Return to MailSlurp. Receiving the GetResponse message starts the render automatically. Open the result and wait until every required target displays **Ready**.

If a target reports a temporary capture failure, use its retry action and keep the completed captures. Approve the run only when the required target set is clean.

## Step 5: Inspect the delivered renders

Open the highest-risk screenshots at full size and compare clients when needed. Check:

- headline wrapping, body width, and reading order
- mobile stacking and horizontal overflow
- hosted image loading, cropping, dimensions, and alternative text
- button contrast, width, spacing, and tap area
- font fallbacks and line-height changes
- Outlook Classic spacing and table alignment
- light- and dark-mode contrast
- footer, physical address, unsubscribe, and preference links

If one client breaks, correct the GetResponse campaign and send the revised message to a new MailSlurp render run so the approval evidence clearly belongs to the latest version.

## GetResponse email preview checklist

- The latest saved GetResponse revision was sent.
- The final sender, subject, and preview text were used.
- Representative personalization data was applied.
- Every priority web, desktop, mobile, and dark-mode target is **Ready**.
- Images load and scale without clipping.
- Buttons remain readable and easy to tap.
- Outlook Classic preserves the intended hierarchy.
- Footer and unsubscribe content are visible.
- The run was repeated after the last material edit.

## Troubleshooting

### MailSlurp does not detect the email

Copy the active render address again, confirm GetResponse accepted the send, and make sure the address was not shortened or changed.

### Personalization is blank

Update the test profile or contact values in GetResponse, preview the assembled content again, and send a fresh test.

### An image is missing in one client

Use absolute public HTTPS image URLs, set useful dimensions and alt text, compare the failing client with another completed render, and retest the corrected campaign.

### Outlook spacing differs from Gmail

Outlook Classic uses a different rendering engine from many web and mobile clients. Use email-safe table structure where needed, set explicit image dimensions, and rerun each correction.

## FAQ

### How do I preview a GetResponse email in Gmail and Outlook?

Create a MailSlurp device preview, copy its render address, and send the final GetResponse test email to that address. MailSlurp captures the delivered message in the selected Gmail and Outlook targets.

### Can I preview GetResponse emails on iPhone and Android?

Yes. Include iOS Mail, Gmail iOS, Outlook iOS, Gmail Android, and Outlook Android in the MailSlurp target set.

### Does the GetResponse editor preview replace email client testing?

The editor is useful while composing. MailSlurp adds client-specific screenshots of the delivered message so reviewers can see rendering differences outside the editor canvas.

### When should I rerun the preview?

Rerun after changing copy, contact data, images, links, layout, sender details, footer content, or campaign settings. Approve only the latest delivered version.

After visual approval, continue with the [GetResponse inbox placement and spam score guide](/guides/getresponse-inbox-placement-testing/) to measure where the campaign lands.
