Getting into the Yahoo Inbox

StevenW · 07-16-2009, 03:05 AM

I'm a little baffled with Yahoo right now, hope the collective minds here can help me out.

The most of us are taught that the basis to HTML email newsletters are:
1) Good = a higher text ratio to pics and html coding
2) Bad = chunks of pictures

But here's the deal with Yahoo:
My emails comprising of chunks of pictures + text are getting into the inbox and my thumbnail + text newsletters are getting into the spam folder. Both versions have been tested with the same IP, same server and subject line.

**both versions work for the inbox for gmail & hotmail though.

Was hoping if you guys could provide some insight on this matter or if you have a Yahoo Inbox proven HTML format, please help me out here.

If so, just ask your subscribers to white list
your email. Most IMers do so.

Thank you Igor, TrafficBug ^^

I'm trying to optimize the delivery factors on my side basically. I include a message to ask subscribers to whitelist me, but that is their decision to do so, and most ppl are quiet lazy to click and add.

Yeah, its confusing, if chunks of images are better, than I might as well resort to it but that would be alot of downtime spent on design. And it contradicts what everyone has been telling you about picture-based vs content-based HTML newsletter.

Anyone knows on HTML coding to suit the yahoo inbox?
