Imnica Mail Or Aweber? This is the question...

I have used both of them but now I'm using imnica. Take that one, you'll be doing just fine with its quality.

Yes, what the other expensive autoresponder can do, Imnica can do it also. They are practically the same except the price. I'll go with Imnica.

Inmicamail is really a good autoresponder with high delivery rate

I signed up for their service and still (13 hours) haven't gotten an email from them. yes, I've checked spam - yes used alternative email and yes, contacted their support. Make me wonder how solid they really are.

Can't say about both I am using mailChimp free account. Best for first 2000 subscribers and you can send monthly 12000 emails. after that you can upgrade. Mailchimp is best for me.

You realize Mail Chimp HATES anything that even smells of marketing right? Be careful. Imnica Mail is $3 a month to start. Here's the relevant section taken from their Terms of Use:

Prohibited Content and Industries


Don't use MailChimp to send anything offensive, to promote anything illegal, or to harass anyone.

You may not send:

Pornography or other sexually explicit Emails
Emails offering to sell illegal substances
Emails that violate the CAN-SPAM Law
Also, there are some industries that send certain types of content that result in higher than normal bounce rates and abuse complaints, which in turn jeopardize the deliverability of our entire system. No offense intended, but because we must ensure the highest delivery rates possible for all our customers, we do not allow businesses that offer these types of services, products, or content:

Illegal goods or services
Escort and dating services
Pharmaceutical products
Work from home, Internet Lead-gen, Make money on online opportunities, etc.
Online trading, day trading tips, or stock market related content
Gambling services, products or gambling education
Multi-level marketing
Affiliate marketers
Credit repair, get-out-of-debt content
Mortgages and/or Loans
Nutritional Supplements, Herbal Supplements or Vitamin Supplements
Pornography or nudity in content
Adult novelty items or references in content
List brokers or List rental services
Marketing or sending commercial email without proper permission


Generally speaking, if you're in an industry that is frequently associated with spam, you know who you are (it's probably why you're reading this far, right?). We make no judgments about your line of business, but we cannot afford to risk our deliverability. In fact, most ESPs like MailChimp will not be able to help you. You will most likely need to look into setting up your own mail servers. The term to search on is "email delivery server." There are many industrial strength MTAs to choose from with built-in delivery and reporting tools for high-volume senders.

Ive used ImnicaMail and I didnt like it. Not enough features, and their deliverability was crap. Every email went to spam.

Thanks guys/gals...I think they proved themselves to me with the failure to make it to my inbox with a sign up email.

Just thought I'd add this from Mailchimp

Note I don't use any AR

Does MailChimp Ban Affiliate Links? | MailChimp.com
Question:

“I've heard rumors that MailChimp hates affiliate links, and will shut down my account if it finds them in my email campaigns."
Answer:

Not true. We only stop emails that contain URLs that are on blacklists. Sending an email with a blacklisted domain can make spam filters block your message. If we simply allowed these campaigns to leave our network, those campaigns would taint our network's reputation among ISPs and spam filters, subsequently jeopardizing deliverability for all our other users.
We don’t hate affiliate links. Our system just automatically scans for links that are blacklisted by spam filters. That’s what keeps our delivery rates so high.

Bottom Line on Affiliate Marketing Links

If you're an author or professional blogger or business owner that sends permission-based emails full of content that your recipients are expecting, and the content isn't risky (as defined in our terms of use), and you don’t violate any spam laws, you will likely never experience any problems using MailChimp even if you include affiliate marketing links. If you're someone who calls yourself an "affiliate marketer" whose content is strictly "whatever gives me the highest commission, relevance be damned!" we’re just not built for you. No offense.

I just dropped IMNICA after using them for over a year. It's hard to find anything good to say about them.

Deliverability was horrible, and I mean in every respect. All the big services like Gmail, and Yahoo, AOL and Comcast block their mail routinely. I know what I'm saying as I had accounts with all of them and seeded my list so I'd know. The back office software struck me as an 'engineers dream' and a 'users nightmare'. Very circa 1999.

I was foolish to use them, thinking I was 'saving' money. The first email I sent from Get Response to the same list, same type of offer, no difference, brought a 270% increase in 'opens'. Sorry, but I'd use a free service before fooling around with Imnica.

I've signed on to Aweber and the reason is this: I've seen many an imnica email in my spam folder. I have yet to see an email from Aweber in my spam folder. For this reason alone I would choose Aweber.

I registered for imnica but could never log in.

I raised two or three support tickets, none of which were replied to.

A few days later I got an email asking if the issue was dealt with to my satisfaction.

I was fuming. I sent an email back asking when it was dealt with.

Of course, I never got a reply to that.

Imnica... out.

Bottom Line: Choose another provider... you will only waste your time if you try them!

I have been with them since the beginning. At first their system was very basic. The backend templates are hard to use. Nothing formats like it should. Problems with their service and delivery. Everything was blamed on lack of hardware upgrades. No status/service updates were ever given in a timely fashion... only after they attempted to fix something would they send an email to their customers.

If you look at their history of replies... it's filled with excuses and empty promises. I agree with Bruce - it's made by engineers... for engineers! I understand the backend being basic upon startup but it's been a couple of years now and hasn't improved much.

It was just a couple of months ago that Richelo sent out an email saying they were trying to fix the terrible deliverability issues. I have every email they sent out to their customers... about 80% are filled with service/delivery problems they were trying to fix.

I finally tossed in the towel and gave up! I've used other premium providers and chose Imnica because of their pricing... BIG mistake! Don't let the low pricing fool you! It will cost you more in the long run...

Have to say I agree with this. My messages went to my spam folder. Whereas with aWeber, same messages, same time delay, every one of them made it to the inbox. And the confirmation/thank you message was delivered instantly.

I ve tried both and honestly user interface in imnica is nothing close to aweber. Creating forms on imnica will make you desperate if you know aweber.

However, I now use getresponse and I love it. To me they re at leas as good as aweber with a lower price...
