On my wishlist:
– modifying width of fields should be possible
– mandatory fields
– menu field (e. g. for “Mr., Mrs. …)

There four five I’m missing:
1. like Jesse Klaasse says – a mini version that can be expanded
2. possibility to remove the ads under the footer – maybe for a premium version?
3. a license notice. Is this GPL. Can it be used on a commercial blog ?
4. a double opt in functionality for comments (checkbox like the plug-in “Gurken Subscribe to Comments”)
5. Internationalization (french, german, italian etc.)

The plug-in is fantastic. I realy love it.
What I would like to do, but I cannot do it, is:
manualy add addresses to the subscribers list (because of a complete new installation, without using a back-up.

+1, the ability to manually add subscribers directly.
This function would be great for a team blog or similar with a small subscriber list, where it is difficult to get them to subscribe just automate notices.

If you could use an ajax interface for the email capture boxes, then that would be a good improvement.
thanks

Thinks I would like to see in a next version:
– The possibility to send a custom mail message once to all subscribers;
– A “mini-version” of the widget, which initially won’t show the form but just the header. Clicking the header (or an icon) would fold out the form using jQuery;
– An option to exclude images from the posts. Currently, the alignment is off..
Thanks again!

I have a number of groups that need to contain some of the same email addresses for different mailings so “Remove duplicates from all groups” is mostly unusable because it will delete addresses that I want to keep in more than one group. What I DO need is the ability do delete the duplicates in individual groups, especially when creating a new large group. Thanks.

Hello Tony,
When you import or load an email list into a group in G-Lock EasyMail address book, the program automatically skips duplicate email addresses. This feature is turned on by default.

Hello,
One thing I noticed that would be great would be able to…
– segregate each list into its own sub categories (buyers, freebie takers etc)
Alen pretty much covered the rest I have only just got the plugin today
and really enjoy it!
Thanks Karn

i am most interested in …. and then have 3 choices to pick from plus 1 for All of the Above. .Based on their choice it goes
to the correct auto-responder to sign them up and then
to the correct thank-you page…that says While you wait for the confirmation to arrive in your email..we have a special offer that you won’t find this anywhere else. —then it goes
to the correct OTO offer and after that – Yes, goes to paypal., COLLECTS payment, then tells them to go check their email.
NO, tells them to go check their email.
They confirm their original subscription (based on their CHOICE) and the Thank-you page also matches what they are interested in AND tells them to check their email (or wherever) for their downloads…they are waiting there.
SEE – now that’s what WEB 3.0 is all about. SMART. Just make sure all the offers are FUN and OVER DELIVER — DON’T WASTE PEOPLE’s TIME or THEY WON’T MAKE IT TO the confirm their Original Subscription page – THEY’LL JUMP FOR SURE!!

Hi,
The ability to set up easily an auto-reponder series for new subscribers like GetResponse, Aweber, EmailAces, PostMaster, Mailoop, Promasoft, RoyalResponder, etc.
This will be the greatest improvment to your great plugin 🙂
Thanks,
Danny

There are two very important features that I miss in this plugin:
1. Importing users from an earlier subscription system.
2. The ability to choose whether a field in the subscription form is required.

I forgot one feature I would really like:
– Being able to translate the headings of fakepages. I love the fact that I can write custom messages for emails and fakepages. But I think lot’s of people with non english websites and visitors would like to change those page names.

What a great way to promote easymail! I had not even considered easymail until I discovered this plugin.
Requests:
–> Being able to choose which category or categories are sent.
–> A send now button.
–> A custom newsletter introduction box that can be represented in the email html/plaintext by a $gsom tag
–> smtp to have ssl ?
–> Sending updates from just the last month, even if there is only one update.
I’m looking into this plugin for an organization who work with disadvantaged people groups. In other words there are thousands of people in remote places trying to keep family and friends updated with how they are doing and the work they are involved in. So having something automated is ideal and if they can update there wordpress by plain text emails this system could be very functional.

Hello.
Well… Since you ask … 😉
– It would be nice to have subcriber categories or groups to be able to select groups of subscribers when you send emails. And to add/delete/edit groups and manually change subscriber group (or category)
– It would be nice to have import of .csv or .xml capability, not only export
– Selecting individual posts, not only categories and/or author
– Languages support (for backend and frontend)
If you put all that, REALLY FANTASTIC plugin. Otherwise, just GREAT ! 😉
Thnx, Alen

Choose which categories are sent and exclude images from the posts.

I will be nice if there was an option to change the frequency in which the plugin checks for new posts as it relates to blog brodcasting.
Or may be a button that the user can click to start the blog broadcasting process on demand, instead of having to wait for a couple of hours until the broadcast begins.

Great plugin! What I would like to see is an easy way to have it completely translated into a different language. In Settings you can change the text in the form, e-mail messages and action pages, but, for example, the subscription manager, and the page titles are still in english.
Otherwise, very happy with this plugin!

I use this plugin on several websites (and of course donated) and advise it to other users very often.
1) I agree with Lucien: There should be a PO-file for translations or sth. else.
2) And a custom.css for individual customizising. After each update I have to adapt my settings.
3) There should be an option to mark fields as mandatory.
I would pay for these additional options because you delevelop the plugin permanently and it is a stand-alone-solution I did not find anywhere else.

Hi,
I’m very interested in your plugin – and a functionality that would be awesome is the possibility to display the picture of a ebook – or a video + some text to provide incentive for people to opt-in (like get in the mailing list and get a free ebook).

Hello,
This functionality is already here. You can insert a a picture or even a video into the opt-in form. To do this, go to your WP admin Panel -> G-Lock Double Opt-In -> Settings -> Submission Form tab and insert your HTML code into the “Form Header” code.

Great plugin as it is, but I think the following features would make it even better:
– Send out newsletters on demand (by pressing a button), with the option of how many blog posts to be included, and regardless of how old/new they are.
– Create groups of subscribers based on admin defined parameters, with the ability to design different email and newsletter templates for each group.
– Track which users have read the emailed newsletters.

It would be fantastic to be able to exclude certain categories from being e-mailed out. Or is this maybe even posible now by editing some configuration file?

Would be nice if on multisite-installation the auto-broadcast could send out latest posts from ALL the network.
