As a result, the list of incoming letters is promptly cleared. At the same time, a significant difference between this probability and the usual placement of messages in the trash bin or deletion is their continuous storage in the mailbox. Letters placed in the archive remain fully accessible for search, reading, and other use, which eliminates the risk of deletion or loss of necessary information.

The modern letter delivery system has changed a lot. However, despite the new possibility of sending a message by e-mail, many people continue to openly rejoice at greeting cards sent on Valentine’s Day, New Year and other holidays. And if it’s also a flash card, then the recipient’s furore will know no bounds.
You will need
- – a computer with flash software and Internet access;
- – computer program to create a postcard.
Instructions
1. Choose a theme for the upcoming card. If this greeting card, then you need to make a plot that matches the theme. It is possible that the theme of the upcoming New Year celebration will be in demand.
2. Download and install a program for creating flash animation on your computer. This can be either the well-known Macromedia Flash program or any other alternative software, say, Sothink SWF Quicker.
3. Start making an animated postcard. Make the usual symbol of the New Year holiday - snowflakes. It’s cooler to choose a dark, roughly black background background so that the snowflakes look more advantageous. Draw snowflakes inside the pre-drawn rectangle. To create a spectacular illusion of snowflakes moving and falling, move the rectangle slowly and carefully. At the same time, do not forget that smooth movement in the animation file is achieved with the help of a thoughtful arrangement of snowflakes over each area of this geometric figure.
4. Divide the rectangle into several parts (usually three or four fragments). Make sure that the pattern of snowflakes matches in adjacent episodes. Otherwise, the postcard will turn out sloppy, gluing and jerking of the image will be noticeable. Turn on storyboard mode and locate the ending frame. Remove it by closing the plot of the postcard and thus making a “loop” or a resulting loop in which the animation will repeat indefinitely.
5. In order to achieve more realistic movement, make another layer in which you also draw snowflakes inside the rectangular fragment. Use the result of perspective. Draw smaller snowflakes, the 2nd layer will act as a backdrop. Because of this, it should be in total a little smaller than the first, but at the same time wider.
6. Choose the appropriate font and write the desired text. If desired, you can also insert it into the animation postcard a voice congratulation in advance or a primitively beautiful melody.

Why you should use GIF in email marketing
We often check email while doing other things, or when we have a free moment, such as on the way to work or during a break. At such a frantic pace, we are not inclined to read long texts and enjoy very informative letters. The first thing we pay attention to is the picture. Yes, it's definitely a picture. And with a well-chosen image, it can convey the sender's intent in a creative and exciting way.
Of course, there are more reasons why you should use GIF animation in email campaigns, but the ones listed above are the most basic.
You already know why GIFs are so attractive, let's take a look at good examples their use.
How to use GIF in different areas of activity
GIF can be used in different ways in different industries, but there are some things in common.

How to properly use GIF images in emails
- Don't use animation in every newsletter, otherwise it will just become commonplace for your subscribers. Use it once a month for variety, for example.
- Don't use too many GIFs in one email, otherwise they will not only distract customers' attention from your message, but will also significantly affect the overall size of the email. If it is too large, the subscriber's email client will not support it.
- Make the first shot the most informative and interesting. If your subscriber's email client does not support GIF animation, only the first slide will be displayed.
- Avoid bright flashing frames and do not make the interval between them too short, otherwise this will cause irritation and reduce the informativeness of the animation.
Now you know how to use GIFs correctly and what to avoid. Be creative and try applying animation now!

Microsoft considers .gif images to be active content, and for security reasons, Outlook does not allow active content to run in messages.
All versions of Outlook after 2007
There is no support for animated gifs when composing or reading email. If you want to see the animation, you will need to open the message in your browser.
To do this, double-click the message to open it in your window. Then select (Other) Actions->View in the browser. This will open the message in Internet Explorer.
Note. Although the gif file will not appear when composing, when the recipient receives your message in mail client which supports gif animation, gif animation will still work.
So this tells Outlook to show the first frame of the .gif image. If you add a .gif using email in Outlook, and send the email to a device that can display .gif , say an iPhone, the .gif will animate there.
IN Outlook version before 2007 they have limited support. This is due to the fact that in 2007 Microsoft moved from Internet usage Explorer (which can display .gif) to render email in Microsoft Word(which blocks .gif).
Because of this change, Outlook does not support many of the latest HTML5 standards, including HTML5 animations. So there is currently no way for Outlook (at least for desktop) to show any type of animation.
