    • Reporting: The Reporting section is the most comprehensive analysis of your accounts sending statistics within the Control Panel. It has most of the features seen in the Domain overview and Analytics sections of the Control Panel; it also has much more capabilities than either of those two sections.
    • Sending: Within the Sending section there is a nesting tree for your domains, dedicated IPs, and your mailing lists.
      • Need to add a domain, troubleshoot sending issues, or review performance? Head to Domains and/or Overview
      • Once you select a specific domain, you’ll notice familiar tools like Logs, Analytics, Webhooks, and more. 
      • Need to create or view an email template?  Templates is the right choice!
      • Wondering which email addresses are on your Bounces, Complaints, and Unsubscribes lists? Check out Suppressions.
      • Wondering which stage of IP warm-up your new dedicated IP is on? Check your status in IPs.
      • Managing your email lists? Find all of them under Mailing Lists
      • Domain settings contains advanced configuration settings for your domain such as DNS and tracking configuration.
    • Receiving: The Receiving section displays all of your current routes, separating them by the US and EU regions. From here, you can also send a sample POST to receive a sample webhook, fully parsed as an HTTP POST.

     

    Sidebar navigation - Mailgun Optimize

    The navigation is organized as follows:

    • Inbox Placement: The Inbox Placement section allows you to create seed lists - email addresses/mailboxes - with numerous mailbox providers so that, when the seed list is included as a recipient in one of your campaigns, you can analyze how that campaign performed with each mailbox provider.
    • Email Preview: The Email Preview section allows you to preview your messages in dozens of email clients (web, mobile, email client, email app) so that you can curate the look and feel of the message prior to sending it. 
    • Blocklist Monitoring: The Blocklist Monitoring section tracks your IP and domain reputation with all of the major blocklisting providers.
    • Spam Trap Monitoring: The Spam Trap Monitoring section tracks your IP reputation with various spam trap networks.
    • Bounce Classification: The Bounce Classification section provides a focused view of various types of bounces for configured domains.
    • Google Postmaster: The Google Postmaster section collects critical delivery information from Google's email network.
    • Microsoft SNDS: The Microsoft SNDS section collects critical delivery information from Microsoft's email network.
