Using indd CS4 for email blasts?

Happy Holidays everyone. Instead of using 'contant contact' or other such email blast software with templates, what I typically do is design an original email blast in InDesign, and then send it as a pdf to a company who switches it (somehow) into html. Which takes them some time, and some extra money, before they blast the thing.
However, there has to be an easier way, to take my designed "flyer" right to html, in indd,cs4??? I tried exporting it as html, and the file had no graphics in it, bummer. I tried exporting as eps, and the file was too huge. I tried exporting as a variety of different jpegs, and still wasn't right--although, it could be brought into a Word file. But, again could not add 'link's" to our website in Word.
So, what am I missing here? Thanks

What you're missing is the fact that there is no easy way. My advice: spend the money on Constant Contact, MailChimp or one of the other specialized services.

Hi, my icloud says i have used 2.5GB for email. i want to delete the emails, but they do not show up to delete?

Hi. My icloud storage says I am using 2.5GB for email. I would happily delete all the emails, but very few show up to be deleted. How do I delete all emails on the account (that appear to be hiding in the background somewhere). Thanks

Hi, thank you, but this is where I go to delete all emails (done) but my icloud storage data still claims I am using 2.5GB under the email category. Is there a 'reset' option to clear icloud usage? Thanks

Only use a computer for email, internet, basic computing. Is the ipad a better option than a macbook?

Used to have a macbook, bought it back in '07, had to sell it shortly thereafter.
Don't have a computer now and need one.
Looking over the macbook pro, I am wondering if it is too much computer for me.
I use a computer for emails, surfing the web and twitter.
I'm wondering if the ipad would be a better fit, or if I should be looking for a computer.
Thanks.

MacBook air just perfect i have an iPad 2 ( I know it's an old one but it is almost same ) i mostly need pc for stuff and normally I like to download movies for that I need a good memory which you won't get on an iPad best choice for you is a 11 or 13 inch MacBook air iPad is bettween comp and a phone it is good but not enought ( altleast for me ) if you take an iPad u won't the benefits of downloading zip files and many other files but with a MacBook you can do it as it supports all iPad is good for presenting stuff good for reading books , web pages are good too ( flash is not there so some sites are not good ) editing word docs or slidshows are nice and easy but not fully usefull ( simple editing options) if you convert the files say into doc it gets messy on a comp to see , plus doc files with lots of stuff like photos and tables gets messed up but if we convert to PDF then you get a nice experience , MacBook has many options in pages , numbers , keynote , you will like an iPad even I like it but like u even I am looking for a MacBook right now as I need to back up files and download movies anyways it decides unto u so go to the apple shop he will help u choice the right choice a person here will only tell good stuff and suggest what he likes but if you go to the apple store he will give you the perfect choice for u

What if we change the user name of user account, will it have impact on roaming profiles.
Yes, it will affect roaming profiles. Please rename the roaming profile folder as the new user account name, in addition, change the profile path in ADUC.

I am using microsoft outlook for email in firefox. When I select the envelope for email it takes me to a mailto window in outlook which I have to close.

I am using microsoft outlook for email on latest version of firefox. In the applications window the only selection for outlook is mailto. When I select the envelope it takes me to outlook, however the first page is a mailto page with a link to my home page. I have to close that and get to my email page. How can I skip the mailto and go right to the outlook inbox page? Thank you.

I may have made a mistaken assumption that you were using Outlook.com (online webmail). If you are using Microsoft Office Outlook, then you actually would need an add-on to put a button for that program on the toolbar. I'm not sure if there is one specific to Outlook, but there is an extension named Custom Buttons that can be tweaked to do a wide range of things.
* https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/custom-buttons/
* forum for getting help with the add-on: http://custombuttons.sourceforge.net/forum/
But... I 'm not sure it's worth the effort because you usually can switch between Firefox and Outlook pretty quickly using the Windows Task Bar or Alt+Tab (keep holding Alt after you release Tab to see all the open windows and then Tab to the one you want).

Why can't I set up POP/IMAP emails for my Muse website in Business Catalyst? I don't have the option 'use this service for email as well as hosting the website' under Advanced options

Why can't I set up POP/IMAP emails for my Muse website in Business Catalyst? I don't have the option 'use this service for email as well as hosting the website' under Advanced options.
Is this due to my Hosting Plan? Appreciate any answers.

Your site is a CCM site which is on a WebBasics plan (This plan does not provide hosted emails on Business Catalyst).
If you want to create email addresses on this site, you would need to setup your email server elsewhere and configure the MX records on your site to point to that external mail server.
If you want to use Business Catalyst's hosted email services you would need to use a WebBasics+ or higher siteplan. To upgrade your CCM free site, Access your site's admin area -> Site Management -> Upgrade Now -> choose the desired site plan and billing frequency -> Add personal and credit card details -> Submit.
Please refer this article about setting up email accounts on your BC site: http://docs.businesscatalyst.com/user-manual#!/site-settings/email-users

My macMini has only a 1.5 GHz Intel Solo Core and is now unable to do things like Turbo Tax. I use it mainly for email, web browsing, bill paying, banking. Should my next purchase be a notebook, laptop, mini or iPad?

My macMini has only a 1.5 GHz Intel Solo Core and is now unable to do things like Turbo Tax. I use it mainly for email, web browsing, bill paying, banking. Should my next purchase be a notebook, laptop, mini or iPad?

Desktop: Mac Mini dual-core i5 (or quad i7 if you can afford it, it might seem overpowered but it will last you longer. Upgrade to 16GB RAM if you want to future proof that side of the machine. Don't buy from Apple, install it yourself).
Laptop: MacBook Pro 13' if you don't need portability, or MacBook Air 11' if you do (as RRFS has said).
A notebook and a laptop are the same thing.

Using iOS 8.1, can I still use pop account for email instead of imap

UUsing iOS 8.1 on iPhone 4. Can I still use pop account for my email instead of IMAP. Don't like all my email on mail server

MMy biggest problem is both iPhone and iPad when I set up email account uses IMAP automatically. So I really have no choice. Since IMAP doesnot allow downloading email to device, I have to leave all restates on mail server. This really concerns me.

I use Microsoft Outlook for email, and every day, dozens and dozens of times per day, a blank white Firefox window pops up and says "There are no items to show in this view."

That’s all it says in the whole window that opens up. There doesn’t seem to be a specific thing I do that makes it happen and it doesn’t happen every single time I have it open, but pretty close. It seems to happen (most of the time) when I click on the “Today” or “Yesterday” (ect) tabs that organize the emails. But again, it doesn’t happen every time I do this – maybe 8 out of 10 times? It also does it when I just open my Outlook screen to look at it before I even do anything, and sometimes it just does it without even touching it. Also, pretty much every time I send an email it opens a couple pages up. It also doesn’t happen just once, it will open sometimes 5 – 10 of the same screen all at once. My IT person at work suggested deleting Firefox to see if it would stop and it didn't, it would just open up a window saying you have no Firefox so download it. I re-installed Firefox and it still does the same thing – mostly – except now it asks if I want to download the file instead of just opening that white Firefox screen. If I click yes it opens the same screen but it will still open sometimes 5 of those asking if I want to download it.

Microsoft published some articles about this error last year. It might not be the only cause, but can you forward it to your IT for consideration?

Edit: As a short-term workaround, what happens if you make IE your default browser? You can still use Firefox as your primary browser, but of course links and shortcuts from other applications or the desktop will open in IE.

Change Submit button to img and use as link for email?

I'm trying to create a form using a submit button. I don't want to use the email link because of spoofing problems. How can I make this happen?

Your stated question and your subject are out of synch - what is it you want to do?
* use an image as a submit button? If so, just insert an image field.
* submit the form to produce an email without using the mailto - type link? Then you would have to understand how to process form submissions using a script.
There are only two ways to process form data -
1. Use mailto:[email protected] as the action of the form
2. Use a server-side scripting method to a) harvest the form's data, b)
process it in some manner, e.g., enter it into a database, c) formulate and
send an email to one or more email recipients, and d) redirect the visitor
to some ending page
Method 1 is quite simple, and is also the least reliable. It depends both
on your visitor having an email client already installed on their computer -
this eliminates public computers, or home users without email clients
installed (more and more it seems) - and on the installed email client responding to
the mailto call. It is not possible to use this method *and* send the visitor to a
thank you page as well.
Method 2a is the preferred method, since it eliminates the problems of method
1, but it means that you have to grapple with server-scripting somehow (ASP,
CF, PHP, perl, etc.).
Method 2b would be to use some third-party form processing, like
http://www.bebosoft.com/products/formstogo/.
You would have to decide which of these methods is best for your needs,
but if it's Method 2a, then start by asking your host what they provide for form
processing. If it's 2b, then read their FAQ/instructions carefully.

Hi,
As far as I know, the Database for the Outlook profile can get corrupted over time and you may try to rebuild it on Outlook 2011 to see the result. See:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2360509
Since this forum is for general questions and feedback related to Outlook for Windows, if suggestion above doesn't fix the issue, I'd recommend you post a question in the forum for Mac to get further assistance:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoutlook?tab=Threads
The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most
qualified pool
of respondents, and other partners who read the forums regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us. Thank you for your understanding.
