Frequently asked questions and answers about mailtrap

How can I migrate my existing contact lists to mailtrap?

mailtrap allows you to import contacts from a previous email marketing provider. This does not mean that you can import all your contacts to mailtrap on the first day. In most cases, the import volume is limited. To import a large number of contacts, write an email to support, explain how you collected the contacts and ask them to import the contacts into your account.

How can I use the follow-up autoresponder?

Unfortunately mailtrap does not offer an autoresponder function.

Can I edit the HTML source text in the email builder?

Yes, this is possible. But please note the restrictions that prevent the use of potentially dangerous HTML code in the email. If you try to include an iframe in the email, for example, this will not work due to potential misuse.

What are basic and advanced statistics?

Basic statistics often refer to the performance of an email, for example the open or click rate, sometimes you can also see the clicked links. Advanced statistics often go much deeper and show more of the user's behavior and often information about their device or even interests can be viewed.

Has mailtrap implemented IP reputation management?

Our automated systems that monitor each provider's IP history indicate that mailtrap must have IP reputation management in place to ensure that IPs are as clean as possible to maximize email deliverability.
