We provide a tool to brand your emails in Universal App. However, it is important that your emails are well optimized and safe from spam detection. To make sure your emails arrive reliably in your readers' inbox, you should consider using a specialized service for email delivery. Below are the options you have in the Universal App admin:
Mailgun: Very reliable and affordable.
Sendgrid: Very reliable and currently the biggest service in the market.
