This extension looks very good and promising but it is still Very Buggy.
First impresions show:
K2 Integration not working
Email template download/upload not working
Support does not seem to exist (i have read questions from december 2011 that had not yet answered)
I will probably try something else until this is ready

This extension has all the potential to be amazing, but support is non-existent and after many hours I am unable to get this component to work (with and without Community Builder). I'm rather experienced at Joomla! and without support from the developers it is a slick looking piece of junk.
Great Extension. I really liked using "MAILCHIMP" but i had to uninstall it till they up grade it to Joomla 2.5
I just hope they upgrade it before i end up finding another MAILCHIMP Extension thats Joomla 2.5 ready.
Either way if your using Joomla 1.7 or older this is a good mail extension to use.

I downloaded and installed everything easily and set up a MailChimp account. I had a minor problem with getting my users imported, but it was because I had no list defined on Mailchimp. I found the answer in Joomlamailer forums.
I was flabbergasted by how easy it was to import my information into the template and to create a campaign. I included several articles from different categories and added a graphic with a link to my book in the left margin. I changed the colors easily to match my website and imported the banner.
After using the test facility, I scheduled my first campaign overnight. It ran smoothly, and when I logged in to my Joomla administration screen there was a summary of the campaign displayed immediately. Statistics told me my campaign was 40% more effective than my industry average and I was able to see who had opened it and clicked.
What a fantastic marketing tool!

I needed a 'no hassle' newsletter signup that integrates with the core Joomla registration...this just stands head and shoulders above the competition. It marries the best bulk mailer to the best CMS, which makes it super powerful for me, and takes things to the next level.
Great work from Pete and the FreakedOut team as per usual. Top notch!

the interface works great if you want to send a single article as an email; but you cannot select articles from more than one category or on multiple screen pages of a single category
I added my problem to the Support to an existing Sept problem and neither of us have had a reply to date. No one seems to monitor.

This seems as the plugin sent from heaven, but it wont work and the support is useless (not even responding to emails or on the forum :I
As I can see its looks like an error in the latest update and people has been happy for this plugin before, so I still give it 3 stars and hope this is just a glich from the developers

The only reason I wanted this extension was for the ability for new registrants to my site to sign up for my newsletter at the same time they signed up for my site.
Sadly that portion of the product has zero functionality. It's not bugged it just doesn't exist anymore, despite promises to the contrary.
Support is oddly quiet on the issue as well as there are many post about it on their support forums that are going unanswered. I'd rate it lower but at least it was free.

Would really love to use this extension! It looks great and all the ratings souncs great. But I cant use it on my site. Something with the API key that is incorrect.
I have visited your Support Forum and read about how to fix it, done what it said I should do - but nothing happends.
I also posted a message in the Forum, but I dont get any replies.
Im thinking of finding another newsletterextension because there seems to be no help available...

After downloading this component I needed support. After reading the forums it was evident that support seemed to be quick and helpful. It was exactly that in my case. My query was resolved within a few hours.
You can't ask for anything more than excellent service and a great product.

I'm a professional web designer, and have worked with many different content management systems and have experienced dramatic differences in regards to support for extensions - both paid for and free! I had a small issue with the core process sign-up plugin, not only was the issue dealt with promptly, Pete both fixed the issue and explained what the problems with the particular layout I was using were. I would highly recommend this extension to anyone and more importantly the support for it.
I am not a professional web developer, but volunteer my time to manage a small private school's website. That said, the amazing functionality I have added to the website using joomlamailer has made a measurable difference in the marketing capabilities of the school. Initially, the extension worked perfectly, but after I added and changed many other things, the sign-up module stopped working. Pete went WAY above and beyond to resolve an AJAX issue that I was having (unrelated to joomlamailer). I would highly recommend this professional company to everyone.
Installed it on J1.6.3 and had some problems, regarding the module and the plugin (were missing after installation) and within a few minutes everything was solved by Pete. He also changed a php file on my server. Thanks again! This is service how I want it to be. I am advanced member in the two (so called best) template clubs, but never had such a good service before.

it works great !
so easy now to send hundreds of mail to your users.
had a problem because of Admin protection password and support were quick and through.
10 out of 10 for that.
I do hope there would be an easier way to reuse the same campaign, or easier to just copy the campaign and send again.

Seriously compared to all the other Mailchimp extensions this is the bees knees!
Hope it comes out for joomla 1.6 real soon!

Dear Deemo,
thank you for your praise. It means a lot to us and we highly appreciate it. Rest assured there is a version for Joomla! 1.6 already in the oven and will be served shortly.
