I am looking for a module / plugin Drupal that will send automatically e-mail newsletter every tot minutes and only when there are new articles.
Is this a good one to do that ?
https://drupal.org/project/newsletter
The Simplenews module will do that: https://drupal.org/project/simplenews . It has rules integration that will allow you to send the newsletters out automatically.
You may also want to set up Mandrill account and use the Mandrill module https://drupal.org/project/mandrill if you're going to be sending out a lot of e-mails.

Bit confused on the pro's and con's of using some of these services when it comes to transactional emails via a website. I was using basic php to send the mail, but it seems to be getting blocked by some of the recipients spam filters. So I am looking at alternatives which include setting up it up to send via the cPanel's email service or using a delivery service like mailgun or maybe setting up an office 365 plan.
From what I've read email through an office 365 plan is often blocked as well, plus its another monthly fee so that's not ideal. So that leaves me with cPanel service or mailgun. I currently set it up to use mailgun and I'm pretty happy with it, but is cPanel service just as good? Is it really true SMTP and does it have just as good delivery rates? Theres also the issue with cPanel being if the web server goes down the email goes down, so that's another reason why I'm shying away from it.
cPanel's option will send via your local mail exchanger, EXIM, which isn't much different from sending through PHP. If you're going to send any sort of newsletter or bulk message, you really should use a delivery provider like MailGun or SendGrid and setup a subdomain like news.example.com, so that your primary domain's reputation doesn't become damaged.
I personally use Sendgrid if our website is having issues sending emails, or getting blocked by spam filters. I've yet to have any problems with it. If it's just for one website, and it isn't huge, the free plan should suffice. Various SMTP plugins support it these days, such as Post SMTP.
I am looking for a tool to track which users didn't receive or didn't open their Woocommerce order complete email (maybe because they didn't check their Spam filter).
I found the Follow-Ups Woocommerce extension, but this only lets you track additional emails and doesn't show you a list of all people that didn't open their mail.
Is there any other way to track Woocommerce Emails as described?
Yes, You can. To track email in wordpress is complex process. You need t add Pixel Tracking Code in Email. For easiness you should any prebuilt plugin . Use check Email Tracker wordpress plugin on Email Tracker . This wordpress plugin tracks email is opened or not at receiver end. This is free plugin. I have tested it many times and it is working properly.
You need to integrate third party mail campaign / tracking services like Mailchimp
Review this articles :

Also review this plug-in which will allow to ingrate Mailchimp in Woocommerce.

I've been developing an e-commerce website and it comes to the last phase of development. However, I've found one error during my test.
When I use email that has #domainname.com, the email went through but when I tried using gmail - both admin and customer emails - the notification email didn't reach gmail inbox at all.
Do you have any idea what is wrong or there should be some additional plugin that I have to install.
Any answer is appreciated.
Thank you
WooCommerce (and many times WordPress in general) can be difficult to get working with reliable email delivery. Most of the time it's because your site is on a shared host (shared IP address) and if you're hosted with other sites that are a bit spammy it can hurt you. (WordPress will use your host's SMTP server by default and your actual email service might not be hosted with them, so your MX records probably don't match the same provider / IP block).
When you add the fact that your WooCommerce emails have content that has anything to do with money (using the words "order" "shipping" "prices" etc) it raises your chances of getting caught up in a spam filter. (And yes, Gmail will many times not even deliver your email... And it won't even go into the spam folder).
I've had great success with using a third party SMTP provider. The main benefits are
You emails are relayed through their trusted network
They verify ownership of your domain (and sending domain) so that Gmail also trusts it
They many times provide reliability reports and delivery success / failure reports
I personally use Mandrill (by MailChimp). It's completely free to send up to 12K emails per month (which is usually more than enough for most small businesses). Get their WordPress plugin wpMandrill so that you can see your delivery stats right in your dashboard and so that WordPress uses the relay automatically (including WooCommerce). Your client will probably appreciate seeing that too anyway.
I've played with Mailgun and Sendgrid a bit, but I really like Mandrill. Check the others out to see if they'll be a better fit for you too.
Is there a module for orchard that can send emails to subscribers with contact list, delay email sending, etc?
None that I know of, although there is a module for MailChimp mail service integration. You may want to try it out.
On the other hand, it would be very easy to write such module.
I need email notifications for multiple content types, and for the content type's CCK fields to be included in the email. I also need the emails to be sent straight away, not on the next cron run.
The 2 main modules for email notifications are Notifications and Subscriptions. Subscriptions allows different messaging templates for different content types, but it cant send emails straight away. As I need emails to be sent very quickly (even 15 mins is too long), I would need to run my cron every 5 minuets or so. Even though this site is very low traffic, as im on shared hosting im guessing this isnt a good idea?
The Notifications module can send emails immediately. However you dont have different email templates for different content types. If I include the token for a CCK field not available in that content type, then the token text is sent in the email.
Any ideas on a solution?
Thanks
Not a solution, just an idea for you to research.
Have you tried the Rules module?
