BlueMail is a free, beautifully designed, cross platform email & calendar app, capable of managing an unlimited number of mail accounts from various providers. It is the perfect replacement for your stock email app.
My web application includes a user name(email address format) in the signup email, and of course email clients such as Outlook and IPad Mail recognise the email address format and immediately wraps the text to be clickable as a MailTo, but also to show it in dark blue, as a link would be. I just want to show it as a piece of text, non clickable and in a custom colour. Also I have tried adding non existent tags such as , but this just comes out in the text. I would not wish to have strange replaced characters appear such as "jim AT bloggs.com" as this will confuse the user.
I'm building html emails and I know this is a known issue and I've tried many solutions to force address/phone/emails texts not to change the color and become a link on Gmail and ios. The only solution that partly works for me is to have my text inside and tags and style to have the font color I need. Here's my example:
This works in sense of having the font color what I need, but I don't want to have this text as a link. As now I have to leave the href attribute empty which directs to a white page when clicking on the text from iOS default email.
I've created an email and I want the text to remain in a white colour but whenever I highlight the words and turn them into a hyper link, the formatting changes and the text colour changes to blue but I want it to remain white.
if you need the text it to stay white, try using an !important declaration to override any other styling. Text-decoration will keep it from being underlined, but color is a different property. And remember, most email clients like Gmail, Yahoo, etc. prefer seeing in-line CSS... It's painstaking, but it will help ensure your emails look the same across a variety of clients.
If that's the case, that blue means "unread" or maybe "unopened", (depending on your settings), then the developers must be thinking most users are occassional email users, who not only keep the accounts folded up (or not expanded or not dropped down), so that only the account name is showing, but who maybe don't even open the program every day.
Because for people who have a lot of folders, well, at least it makes sense to me to keep them all expanded, so I can see which folders have new messages. I don't need the blue color to know that there are unopened messages, because I can clearly see them in the list. And it doesn't make sense to keep them folded up, because I would have to unfold and refold them many times per day. I will be opening Thunderbird once per day, and keeping it open and checking it frequently, all day long.
3 of my folders are mailing lists, which sometimes receive 20 messages daily, and sometimes more. I can't think of anyone who subscribes to a mailing list, who probably reads every single message that comes through the list. Of course there are always going to be unread messages....again, unless you are just an occassional user of email.
Although on 2nd thought, eventually all my accounts will be showing blue, all the time. So when that happens, it probably won't matter anymore. As long as the folders still go blue, or give some kind of indication about new mail.
These types of research groups have access to monstrous lists of emails + social media profiles. If you ever use that gmail address for a public GitHub commit, they probably scraped it. You used to be able to add .patch to GitHub commit URLs and see the committer email.
For example if I walk through the cameras view BI will trigger and deep stack will detect a motion and save the clip to the alerts. Then on the main screen of BI a small envelope in the lower hand corner will appear and stay for 10-20 seconds then disappear and I will not get an email.
All current faculty, staff, and students receive a BLUE account with two email addresses automatically assigned to them; while they are active members of the University Community. For faculty and staff this generally means while they are either under contract or currently employed according to HR. For students, this means from when you have been accepted until 1 year after your last enrolled course.
Each individual has two email addresses automatically assigned to them. These addresses point to the same mailbox so you do not need to go to multiple mailboxes to review your messages. (YourFirstN...@creighton.edu and Your...@creighton.edu)
After activating your Blue account, CU email can be access by using either the Cloud Version or Desktop Versions of Outlook. To access your email via the web, go to: (Links to an external site.) Log in with your Ne...@creighton.edu and your BLUE password.
You can also remotely access you email by going to the Creighton homepage Click the Full Menu (upper right). Select Office365 under Resources. From there you will have access to your email plus the other features of Office 365.
In recent years, Apple Mail has updated their handling of some of these links and no longer turns them blue. For addresses and times, iOS devices retain the original styling but add a dotted underline to indicate that these are clickable.
In each case, the information linked could be valuable to subscribers, whether they want to add a phone number to their contacts list or look up an address online. While annoying from a branding perspective, blue links are actually great for usability and accessibility, providing critical functionality.
On the one hand, we want our email designs to stay consistent and on-brand. Email clients overriding our own styling can cause surprises, anger stakeholders, and cause accessibility issues. On the other hand, people may rely on this functionality and expect to be able to take action on information in an email.
Some would argue that overriding the blue, underlined styling is going too far. However, the default behavior has serious accessibility problems that we can combat. For example, look at this email footer with blue links added to the address:
Not all email clients treat auto-linking the same, either. While blue links are the most common culprit, some clients maintain the font color but add a subtle underline. Some clients link telephone numbers but not addresses. With all of that inconsistency, it can be frustrating to manage.
Instead of adding attributes to auto-linked text, Gmail does something else entirely. When processing the HTML of an email, Gmail will convert the doctype to an underline element (u). Knowing this, you can then add a hook into your own HTML to target elements only for Gmail. This is commonly done by adding an ID to the body element.
While there are a few ways to fix Gmail blue links, this is our recommendation: Target all of the links contained within the body in Gmail with the following in your style tag, overriding any added styling in the process:
While it would be convenient to chain all of the above CSS selectors into one rule, Gmail strips CSS using attribute selectors, so the fix would be removed from Gmail, allowing blue links to roam free.
As you might know, there are always edge cases when it comes to email design. Blue links are no different. Some email clients will still auto-link text. And because email apps change every 1-2 days, the three clients above could very easily introduce an update that breaks those fixes.
This can be a very robust solution, but it requires more maintenance. Since the content of an email can change frequently, tracking where those classes are applied and ensuring all suspected text is accounted for can be time-consuming and prone to errors.
While great subject lines play a key role in getting emails opened, great pre-headers are just as important. While subject lines typically truncate after 35-40 characters on most mobile devices, approximately twice as much pre-header text gets displayed (70-80 characters). Smart email marketers harness this opportunity, coupling the two elements together to create stronger calls to action, and we saw two great examples from New Look and House of Fraser:
I have seen this a lot over the years and had forgotten how to do it, and seen lots of long-winded ways of doing it in these support forums for individual emails as, mine have been forwarding without the blue line for years so, I had forgotten how to do it. Due to numerous problems in Catalina and having to re-install a couple of times my setting had changed. I asked Apple support many times recently and they had no idea howe to do it.
Starting on Feb. 2, we sent a claims notification email to current and former members in error. Please disregard the email. You do not need to log in to Blue Access for MembersSM or call Customer Service. We apologize for any inconvenience.
I am sending bulk emails using Send in Blue and I want to be able to create a list in HubSpot for the Clickthroughs. Please can someone help me on how to do this. Thank you in advance and I look forward to hearing from you.
You could test that integration. If you notice that this feature is indeed missing, the only option that I see is exporting email addresses of contacts who clicked through from Sendinblue and importing them into HubSpot. During the import process, you can create a list of those contacts.
Hi @Anonymous - are you still looking for a solution?
We at Outfunnel recently released a Hubspot-Sendinblue integration that can sync email engagement (opens, clicks, unsubscribed, bounces) from SiB into HUBS. You can then build a List inside Hubspot of contacts that have email clicks from SiB logged.
