Built in templates (easy to add more)
Schedule sending, autoresponders and bounce processing.
Remember login details
Built in tutorials

User-friendly user-interface
If you only have access to one mailing list, you are automatically taken to the next step in whatever process you are performing
Lists
Bulk changes to list subscribers (change all to html/text, make them active/inactive)
Copy lists
Merge multiple lists into one list
Save reply-to, bounce-address, bounce account information with a list
Allow imap bounce account
Bounce processing differentiates between types (hard, soft). Email Solutions software detects a hard bounce and sets the status of the subscriber to bounced and never emails them again. Email Solutions software detects a soft bounce but does not change the status of the subscribe until a soft bounce has occurred 5 times on that same subscriber. Once an email has soft bounced 5 times, it is treated as a hard bounce.
Custom Fields
Associated with a mailing list not with a user (means sharing a list between user will show custom fields correctly)
Can be associated with multiple lists at once
New "radio button" type
Better data checking when importing/subscribing
Manage Subscribers
Search all of your lists at once
Option to bypass filtering step
Bulk changes (delete multiple at once, change them to html/text)
Save different stages of subscribe. Eg subscribe request (time + ip address), subscribe confirm (time + ip address)
Save different stages of unsubscribe. Eg unsubscribe request (time + ip address), unsubscribe confirm (time + ip address)
Only show custom fields associated with the list a subscriber is on
New "bounce" and "unsubscribe" status
Import Subscribers
Import subscribe date
Handle quotes around field names properly
Much better reporting about import results (see duplicates, problems with data etc)
Option to add subscribers to any autoresponders the list has
Banned Subscribers
Global ban list (bans across all lists)
Upload a file of email addresses to ban
Newsletters
Bulk actions (make multiple newsletters active/inactive at once)
Better attachment handling
Save/Save and Exit buttons (can save as you are going)
No need to refresh to upload a file or import from a url
Check and warn about missing unsubscribe links
Archives are an rss feed so easily changed and easily ported to an external website
Choose whether to archive per newsletter
Sending Newsletters
Can send to multiple lists at once (removes duplicates before it starts)
A send through the popup can be paused, cron turned on, it will pick it up and continue the send and vice-versa
Cron sending will create the queue just before it starts (so if you schedule in advance, new subscribers will be picked up and any unsubscribes will be removed before starting the process)
Can embed images into an email
Change character set / encoding for each send
Cron sending can pick up "broken" or interrupted mailings
Auto-optimizing of sends (database is automatically optimized before and after a send)
Admin and user get notified if a user goes over per-month of max-emails limits

Global templates
Bulk actions (make multiple templates active/inactive global/not global at once)
Save/Save and Exit buttons (can save as you are going)
No need to refresh to upload a file or import from a url
Autoresponders

Save/Save and Exit buttons (can save as you are going)
No need to refresh to upload a file or import from a url

Send-to-friend form (with appropriate stats)
Better management for ordering custom fields / form options (move things around in an easier fashion)
"subscribe form" can now be a "contact form".
use appropriate smtp server details that are set (ie will pick up general settings or user settings)
can send text and html parts of confirm/thanks emails
modify details and send-to-friend can be customised within Email Solutions software (still can't go on a website though)
option to show/hide subscriber format choice
Easier customising (form html is outside of code and easily edited)
Stats
Show more information (how many sent, how long it took, unique opens)
Show open stats, link stats, bounce stats, forwarding stats, unsubscribe stats per newsletter or autoresponder
Show trends in subscribes/unsubscribes per mailing list
Show trends per user for their send history
