Hello,

I have a list of contacts (about 250 or so) in Excel (but can easily be converted to other formats) that I need to regularly send out e-mails. The problem is that I want to have each recipient see their name in the To box. I would prefer not to use the method of sending it to myself and then BCCing all the recipients. This aforementioned method also causes problems with my ISP because they think I am spamming, when I am really sending out information to my clients. I have come across add-ins like "Send Personally" (http://www.mapilab.com/outlook/send_personally/) and "Send Individually" (http://www.sperrysoftware.com/Outloo...dividually.asp) which would seem to accomplish what I want, but was hoping there was a free way to accomplish this. Has anyone come across a way to automate sending out the same e-mail to a list of addresses and have the recipient only see themselves in the To box? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Paul Butke

Why not just use a mail merge?
Outlook uses Word for performing mail merge functions such as Form Letters,
mailing labels, envelopes, and fax or email merges. For an overview of these
functions take a look he

Hi Guys,

Thanks for the replies. I forgot to mention that I intend to send out the mass e-mail with a PDF attachment that is usually less than 1MB. I did extensive research on the mail merge function and found that it cannot send e-mail attachments. Other than the attachment issue, I would agree that mail merge is a solution to my first posed question. Does anybody have any advice on how to do this with an attachment?

Thanks,
Paul

Not supported in Outlook. Now you must use third party software.

Please try our email scheduler (http://www.lbetoolbox.com/scheduleemail.htm)
which will allow you to send multiple individual emails, either as a one-off
or regularly at a specified time and interval. Attachments can be added,
either individually or in a zip.
