+====== How do I send test emails, and how do I create a test delivery list? ======
-We advise that you send test e-mails before actually dispatching an e-mail. The recipients of the **test mailing lists** can be viewed and edited via //Extras > Settings > > Test delivery list//.
+Before actually dispatching your email, we advise you to start a test delivery. Only then can you really find out how your email appears in the inbox. The recipients for your test distribution list can be viewed and edited at //Settings > Test delivery list//.
+===== Create and edit test mailing list =====
-==== Create and edit test mailing list ====
+The list shows all recipients in the current client’s test delivery list in addition to the recipients in the test delivery lists of all subordinate clients. Each client’s list can be selected separately for a test dispatch. Add a new recipient for the list by clicking the button “Create test address” on the bottom right.
+By clicking the green button on the bottom right, //create test user//, you can create a new test user. In addition, you can import a new test mailing list or export the current test mailing list.
-The list shows all recipients in the current client’s test mailing list in addition to the recipients in the test mailing lists of all subordinate clients. Each test mailing list can be selected separately for a test dispatch. Create a new recipient in the test mailing list by clicking the button “Neue Test-Adresse anlegen” (create new test address).
+To create a new test user, please insert an email address. In step 2, //Insert test user data//; you can decide if you want to add all fields existing in your client to make them available as a variable for the test delivery. At this point, you can remove all data fields that you don't need for the test delivery by clicking //x//. Optionally, you can remove all fields of a record that are empty.
-In the detail view, all recipient data can be entered and edited via the four tabs //General//, //Specific Fields//, //Address// und //More//. This includes the recipient’s first and last name, gender, address and so on. Special fields set up in the current client and used as a variable in the current e-mail can be assigned values here. In addition, the recipient can be marked as active or inactive in the test mailing list.
+{{:en:settings_test delivery list.png?600|Create test address}}
+Under //Identity//, all of his or her data can be entered and edited. You can give content to the data fields like first and last name, gender, postal address, and all fields that have been set up in the current client, and they can be used as a variable in the current email. When you go back to the list, the recipient can be marked as active or inactive.

-If the necessary characteristics (e.g. gender, name) are saved for a test address, the test e-mail can be personalized - by a personal salutation, for example (e.g. “Dear Mr. Miller”).
+When the necessary attributes (e.g., gender, name) for a test address are saved, you can personalize the test messages. For example, you can address your recipient formally (Dear Mr. Smith, …).

+<WRAP round important 60%>
+The data fields that are removed are not available for the test mailing. Likewise, the entries under //Identity// only apply to the test mailing. Nothing has changed in the client's master data!

+===== Send test emails =====
-To send a test e-mail, enter the e-mail’s detail view and choose //Testmailing//. You can send the test e-mail to a previously created test mailing list or to individual addresses.

-  * To send a test e-mail to all active addresses on a test mailing list, check the checkbox in front of the list.
-  * In order to add or remove some of the addresses on the test mailing list from this test dispatch, open the test mailing list by clicking on the plus icon. Check or uncheck the addresses in question.
-  * The buttons //default//, //select all// and //deselect all// allow you to restore the default of active e-mail addresses or to select or deselect the entire test mailing list. This simplifies the selection process, particularly when working with very large test mailing lists.
-  * To also send a text test version of the e-mail to an address, check the corresponding checkbox. With a multipart MIME message, the recipient will then receive both the HTML and the text version of the e-mail.
-  * To send the test e-mail to individual e-mail addresses in addition to the test mailing list, enter one or more addresses in the designated field, separated by a comma.
+  * To send a mailing to all active recipients of a test delivery list, set your checkmark next to the number of the client.
+  * In case you want to activate additional addresses in the test delivery list, click on the plus (+) to open the list. Check or uncheck the single addresses.
+  * With the tabs //Default//, //Enable all//, and //Disable all//, you can completely reset the activated addresses or enable/disable the entire list.
+  * If you want to send a text version of your email to an address, put a check mark next to Send text part separately. Now the address will receive the HTML as well as the text version of a multipart email.
+  * If you want to add or only send your test mailing to additional single addresses, enter them separated by a comma in the field. These emails will be unpersonalized due to the lack of user data.
