1.8.9

Summary

This release is mostly about licence activation. A site that moved to a new address had no way to activate, and a site whose own server stopped the request only ever said that something went wrong. Now a moved site can confirm its move right where activation fails, and a failed activation says what stopped it. On WordPress 7.0 and later, AI tools use the AI connectors the site already has. Two screen fixes round it out.

Added

  • Pro: on WordPress 7.0 and later, AI tools run through the connectors set up in Settings > Connectors. An administrator approves which connectors PressedMail may use on the AI Tools page, and each tool picks a model from its connector. PressedMail stores the approval and the model, never the connector’s key.
  • Pro: a site that moved to a new address can confirm the licence move on the licensing screen, or from a banner above every settings tab, using the key just typed in. No saved key is needed.

Changed

  • Pro: when activation cannot reach the licence server, the message says why. WordPress may be blocking outgoing requests, and the message says how to allow curb.software. Another plugin may have stopped the request, and the message names the plugins that filter outgoing requests. Or the server could not connect, and the message carries WordPress’s own error.
  • Pro: when the site answers activation with a page instead of PressedMail’s reply, such as a PHP error or another plugin’s block page, the message shows the HTTP status and the start of that page.
  • Pro: a licensed site locks its Pro features after 25 signed refusals in a day, not 3. A moved site gets room to be fixed, and a key being probed is still stopped.
  • Pro: the Compose button in the PressedG layout has equal space above and below its label.

Fixed

  • The PressedMail screen stays one window tall and pinned under the admin bar when the WordPress admin menu is longer than the window. Its header and footer stay on screen while the page scrolls behind it.
  • Pro: a successful activation binds the site to its current address, so the move notice clears and the next deactivation frees this site’s own seat.
  • Pro: licence warnings point to pressedmail.com/home/sites instead of an address that does not exist.

Upgrade Notes

  • WordPress 7.0 and later, with AI tools on your own provider: nothing stops working. Your saved key keeps running until you move it, and the AI provider card says so. To move, set the provider up in Settings > Connectors, approve it on PressedMail’s AI Tools page, and choose it on the provider card. The API key and Base URL fields are gone on these versions. Tools on PressedMail AI need nothing.
  • A site that moved address: open PressedMail, paste your key, and confirm the move when asked.
  • Everything else updates without a setting to change.

I save hours & it’s easy to use

I have a lot of email accounts, and it’s annoying to manage them through different providers. I needed something better than what was out there, so I built it. I spent the better part of two years making PressedMail the plugin I wanted to use every day, and now I get to share it with everyone else. I added my accounts, automated the cleanup of over 3000 emails, and it’s saved me hours of work.

Helps get more clients

As a freelancer I need to manage several clients’ accounts. I installed PressedMail on WordPress on localhost and use it as my main email client. I manage everything for clients from PressedMail. And several clients use PressedMail now after I have set their WordPress instances up.

  • Email Swiss Army Knife

    We use PressedMail as a value added service for clients and potential clients as a feature of our agency’s offering helping put us ahead of competition. We love the white-labelling feature, automation, and security controls. It also replaces several of the other plugins we used to use and it’s like a small CRM.

  • One source of truth for every client

    As a VA, I use PressedMail to keep each client’s inbox separate while managing everything from one app. It gives me a single source of truth without mixing client work together.

    I balance teaching with social media marketing clients. PressedMail helps me keep both sides of my work organized in one place.
