New MailChimp accounts have a Campaign, Switched Email Providers auto created by MailChimp. This Campaign seems to be inaccessible from Joomailer, because the status Draft is not in the dropdown.

Indeed. Joomailer can not import saved drafts from MailChimp. Also when you create a draft in Joomailer it does not appear in the MailChimp web interface as draft because then you wouldn't be able to edit it in Joomailer anymore. The reason is that you can't take the campaigns stored in the MailChimp system and break them up in the different content options you have on the create page in Joomailer.
This is also the reason why the status dropdown has no 'all' option. You can't combine 'saved' and the other options because its two different sources they come from.

Kind regards,
Pete

Oh, so you can't really mix and match, in that some users could use the Chimp web interface, but NOT be Joomla users ("the designers" or "the marketers"), and then have the Joomla user just stick some content into the newsletter, sounds like.

I thought that might be a nice option for some companies.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Personally I also think you might be better off creating a joomla user account for your marketer before involving two people in the newsletter creation process.
