Mailings
We recommend that you work with the standard headings and body texts that your team has stored in the "Text" tab of your style set. This is the only way to achieve a consistent look for your mailings based on your corporate design.
Create new text formats in the "Text" tab of your styleset if the existing headings and body text are not sufficient.
As an exception, free formatting is also possible. You can find them in the text editing tools of your mailing if you scroll all the way down in the drop-down list of standard headlines and body texts.
You can only choose from colors that you have already created in the "Colors & Fonts" tab inside your style set.
In IBM / Lotus Notes button border and button background color will not be shown. If you know that many of your recipients work with Lotus Notes, we recommend you to:
-
Make sure that the font color of your buttons differs from the background color of your container or mailing. This way the clickable text will still be visible even if the button background cannot be is not displayed.
-
As an alternative, you can work with images as buttons: Create your image buttons outside of Inxmail New Xperience and link them to your landing page.
Rounded corners
The GMX, Web.de and IBM Lotus Notes email clients do not support rounded corners. Your buttons will be displayed as square buttons in these email clients.

Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) required: Note that you must set up CORS on your domain if you host fonts on your on servers.
Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) allows you to explicitly share fonts and other files that you host on your own servers for using them in XNEW or XPRO.
If images or fonts that you host on your own servers do not load in your mailing or dynamic web page, it is often because CORS is required but has not been set up. Talk to your administrator to set up CORS for Inxmail.
All changes to a style set are made in draft mode. You decide when you want to approve the style set draft or apply changes to the linked mailings.
To solve this problem, you can duplicate the approved style set and replace the style set currently used in the relevant mailing. After you are done, you can apply the changes you made to the style set to all other mailings.
Containers
Containers are like small articles or layout templates from which you can build your mailing. It is best to start working with the standard Inxmail containers. If the Inxmail containers are not enough for you, you can also create your own containers.
Containers consist of elements such as texts, images or buttons. To learn how to select your entire mailing, a container or an element,see the article Settings: Mailing, container, element.
