don't use zapmail

Just my opinion. I'm not pitching anything. After working with them and doing manual SMTP, it's just flat out easier to do the manual way. For reference, I run an agency. I'm not just doing cold email for a small side project. I've got several clients I need to manage outbound campaigns for. Here's what I've run into:

  1. Their site is constantly down.

  2. They lose connection with the cold email platforms (instantly.ai) and it's a pain to get your accounts back on.

  3. Anytime you need to get or remove email accounts, you're always going to be paying for an extra month of that usage, if not more, because of how they structure when you're allowed to add or remove email accounts.

After testing this and seeing if the convenience is worth it, I found there is no convenience.

better way is to use ClaudeCode to manage domains in a different platform and if you absolutely need to do browser automation to go set up the email account.
