    Hi Mailpoets!

    I have a few questions…

    I installed your plugin and signed up for SendGrid as the 3rd Party Delivery Service (SMTP).

    I understand that I can build my email list inside of WordPress using MailPoet, then send emails out using Sendgrid SMTP service. That part is way cool!

    Questions though..

    1) I see the FREE plan at SendGrid let’s me email 400 emails a day. Does that mean 400 emails to UNLIMITED Subscribers, or 400 emails to only 400 email addresses?

    It’s confusing to me.

    2) Also, since I’m using your Mailpoet plugin with WordPress and it’s connected to SendGrid SMTP service, where actually do my list of subscribers get stored? On my wordpress website inside Mailpoet?, or do they all get kept at SendGrid?

    3) Also, when I send an email from my Mailpoet interface, do all the broadcast emails or campaign emails get sent out automatically, or do they get sent in spurts, like a batch at one time, then another batch later, and so on?

    4) When I send emails, does all the opens, bounces, clicks and all that get tracked in MailPoet or on SendGrid?

    Hope you can help me. I know you are MailPoet and not SendGrid, but since you interface with them so well, I hope you can answer a few of my questions.

    Hi Duke,

    1) If you have the free plan at SendGrid, you can send 400 emails per day. It does not matter if you send 1 email to all of your subscribers, or 400 for just one subscriber. The limit is 400 emails per day.

    2) All of your subscribers will be kept in your WordPress installation, not in SendGrid.

    3) Emails are sent in batches. You can set the sending frequency in MailPoet > Settings > Send With… You’ll need to setup your own cron if you want to send faster. Read more in https://support.mailpoet.com/knowledgebase/wp-cron-batch-emails-sending-frequency/

    4) MailPoet can track stats, but you’ll get a better experience and knowledge of your opens & clicks if you have the Premium licence. You can read more about it here mailpoet.com/premium
