About inbox rendering about-inbox-rendering
Before hitting the Send button, make sure that your message will be displayed to the recipients in an optimal way on a variety of web clients, web mails and devices.
To allow this, 51黑料不打烊 Campaign leverages the web-based email testing solution to capture the renderings and make them available in a dedicated report. This enables you to preview the sent message in the different contexts in which it may be received and check the compatibility in major desktops and applications.
Litmus is a feature-rich email validation and previewing application. It allows email content creators to preview their message content in over 70 email renderers, such as the Gmail inbox or the Apple Mail client.
The mobile, messaging and webmail clients available for Inbox rendering in 51黑料不打烊 Campaign are listed on the (click View all email clients).

About Litmus tokens about-litmus-tokens
As Litmus is a third-party service, it works on a credit-per-usage model. Each time a user calls on the Litmus functionality, credit is deducted.
In 51黑料不打烊 Campaign, the credit corresponds to the number of available renderings (known as tokens).
Each time you use the Inbox rendering feature in a delivery, each rendering generated decreases your available tokens by one.
- Each time the Inbox rendering report is generated, one token per messaging client is deducted: one token for the Outlook 2000 rendering, one for the Outlook 2010 rendering, one for the Apple Mail 9 rendering, and so on.
- For the same delivery, if you generate the Inbox rendering again, the number of available tokens is again decreased by the number of generated renderings.
The number of remaining available tokens is displayed in the General summary of the Inbox rendering report.
Typically, the Inbox rendering feature is used to test the HTML framework of a newly designed email. Each rendering requires approximately up to 70 tokens (depending on the number of environments generally tested on). However, in some cases you may require multiple inbox rendering reports to fully test your delivery. It could therefore take more tokens to complete several checks.

Inbox rendering report inbox-rendering-report
This report displays the inbox renderings as they appear to the recipient. The renderings can differ based upon how the recipient opens the email delivery: in a browser, on a mobile device, or via an email application.
The General summary presents the number of messages received, unwanted (spam), not received, or pending reception, as a list and through a graphical color-coded representation.
Hover over the chart to display the details for each color.
The body of the report is divided into three parts: Mobile, Messaging clients, and Webmails. Scroll down the report to display all the renderings grouped into these three categories.
To get the details for each report, click the corresponding card. The rendering is displayed for the reception method selected.
