Direct Mail is Ready for macOS Tahoe

Today we released Direct Mail version 7.6, a terrific update that we recommend for all users, but especially those who have updated to macOS 26. You can update by choosing Direct Mail > Check for Software Update from the menu bar at the top of your screen. Customers who downloaded Direct Mail from the Mac App Store should have the update soon, pending Apple’s approval.

What’s in The Update?

You can check out the release notes for details, but highlights include:

  • Compatibility with macOS 26. If you used Direct Mail with the public beta of macOS Tahoe, you may have experienced app crashes. Version 7.6 addresses those crashes, delivering a stable, reliable experience.
  • Redesigned Template Browser. We’ve made the thumbnails larger, introduced full-sized Quick Look previews, and organized the templates into the categories. It’s now much easier to find just the right design.
  • Additional Templates. Over 20 new templates, including seasonal and sales-focused options, are now available. Our template gallery will continue to expand over the coming weeks and months.

What About Liquid Glass?

After updating, you’ll notice that Direct Mail has not yet adopted macOS Tahoe’s Liquid Glass user interface effects. This is coming soon in a future update. The goal of today’s update is to make sure that our users who update to macOS Tahoe have a stable, reliable Direct Mail app, as well as shipping several quality-of-life improvements (and new templates) to all our customers.

Update Today

Version 7.6 is a great update, with stability improvements, an expanded template library, and several quality-of-life improvements. We hope you update (for free) today! Questions? Please contact our customer support team. Stay tuned!

Announcing WooCommerce Integration

Tabs Come to Apple Mail on the Mac

We recently highlighted the new automatic mail categorization features that arrived on the iPhone with iOS 18.2 and outlined why email marketers should or shouldn’t be concerned. That same feature is now available on the Mac as of macOS 15.4. If you haven’t already, now is an excellent time to review what you need to know about tabs to ensure your emails land in the right place.
