A Better Email Experience Is Coming to BeingKevin

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Over the next few days, Being Kevin will be transitioning to a new email and newsletter platform called MailPoet. This change is designed to create a cleaner, more organized, and more professional reading experience for everyone who follows the blog.

The good news is simple: You Do Not Need To Do Anything

I will be handling the entire transition process personally, including:

  • Moving all current subscribers to the new system
  • Activating the new subscriber features
  • Retiring the older WordPress email notification process
  • Testing the new delivery system to make sure everything works properly

In short, you will continue receiving the same content you enjoy now, just in a much better format and with a more polished experience overall.

What Will Improve

Daily Email Digest

Instead of receiving multiple individual post notifications throughout the day, subscribers will receive one clean daily email containing all posts published over the previous 24 hours.

This creates:

  • Less inbox clutter
  • Easier reading
  • Better organization
  • A more professional newsletter-style format

Weekly Newsletter

A new weekly newsletter will also begin rolling out. This weekly edition will include:

  • A roundup of the week’s blog posts
  • Site updates and announcements
  • Special features
  • Commentary and reflections
  • Future projects and upcoming content

The goal is to make BeingKevin feel less like a scattered stream of notifications and more like a well-organized publication readers can genuinely enjoy following.

During the Transition

As the cutover takes place, there may be a short period where some readers receive duplicate notifications or overlapping emails. If that happens, I apologize in advance and appreciate your patience while everything settles into the new system.

There is also a possibility that early emails from the new platform could end up in spam, junk, or promotions folders. If you see that happen, the messages are legitimate and are coming directly from Being Kevin.

If necessary:

  • Mark the email as “Not Spam.
  • Move it into your inbox
  • Add the sender to your contacts

That helps your email provider recognize future newsletters correctly.

Why I’m Making This Change

As the blog continues to grow, I wanted a system that:

  • Delivers content more reliably
  • Creates a cleaner reading experience
  • Improves organization and presentation
  • Makes communication easier and more consistent
  • Gives subscribers a more professional newsletter experience

Most importantly, this transition allows me to continue focusing on what matters most: creating content worth reading.

Thank you again for following Being Kevin and for your continued support, comments, conversations, and encouragement. More updates — and the first official MailPoet newsletter — will be arriving soon.

About Kevin, I spent 40 years in FinTech before retiring to

Rio de Janeiro to trade software releases for a front-row seat

to the beautiful absurdity of life in Brazil. This blog is my digital

porch, a place for unpolished commentary on book reviews,

daily gripes, and the random thoughts of a guy who finally has

the time to pay attention. I’m an observant realist with a deep

appreciation for history, a good quote, and the perspective that

only comes after the career ends. I write to stay sharp, to stay

honest, and to keep the conversation going.

    That’s really promising! Congratulations! E-mail clutter is a real concern of mine, and I agree with all the improvements that MailPoet provides. I just looked at what MailPoet is, and it looks promising. As a tech savvy person, I can’t wait to see how the new newsletter looks. ☺️

    I’m so proud of you! ☺️

    1. Thanks I appreciate the response. I am trying to have the cutover complete by the weekend.
