 * The setup page refreshes on focus for each textbox trying to validate incomplete
   information. This prevents setup from succeeding. It’s hard to believe they tested
   this much before releasing it.

 * I had the Same Problem, I was able to find a solution after reading the plugin’s
   documentation….
 * You have to go into the wp-config.php and manually set the API key there
 * Paste this at the very bottom of your wp-config.php file
 * define(‘SENDGRID_API_KEY’, ‘PUT-YOUR-API-KEY-HERE’);

 * Why don’t the jerks at SendGrid just fix the bugs? I found an easier solution.
   Disable Javascript in Chrome, paste in your API key, save the settings, re-enable
   Javascript.
