Email Mail Merge using mail

I run a small business and have 3,000 clients on my email database and i am having issues in sending large mail shots using mail. Before i changed to a mac i used to be able to use an excel database with outlook which i could send a mass email mail shot with a few clicks and it send each client an individual email.
I can't seem to get this to work using mail so i have to send 1 email with 20 or so applicants per email(as my broadband supplier limits me to 25 applicants per email) which is very time consuming and also not as profesional.
Is there a way round this at all or a program which i can run with mail?
Thanks in advance
Andy

I've been wrestling with the same problem. I googled a number of related keywords, and found several programs that will handle "mail-merge" tasks. I downloaded two demos. The first is SerialMailer, and it can be found at http://www.falkon-ware.com/SerialMailer/ I gave it one trial and it appears easy to use and adequate to the limited tasks for which I need it. You can import e-mail addresses from Apple's Address Book, or a number of other formatted files. It costs $29.95. The other one I have only take a glance at. It is Max Bulk Mailer, and can be found at http://www.maxprog.com/site/software/internet-marketing/mass-bulk-emailersheetus.php
It looks to be more flexible and powerful and a bit more polished that SearialMailer, but it costs $49.90 for the standard version and $59.90 for the Pro version. The cheaper program looked like all I needed so I didn't test the more expensive one any further. My guess is that one of these (or another you might find with a google search) will take care of your mail merge needs quite handily, and for not much money.

Word Mail Merge using Powershell

Hi all,
I'm working on a script that automates account creation and notification for our students. I've completed a significant chunk of the script and have it successfully creating AD accounts and e-mailing students their credentials to access our system from
a batch job that runs nightly. I want to add an additional part that will create a document using a Microsoft word template that is associated with a CSV file that the script will be populating each day it runs. The goal is to create a mail merged PDF that
I can give to our admissions folks that has all the pertinent information for students to login. They will put these documents in their admissions packets or hand them to new students so they can login to the student system. I think I'm almost there as
I can get word to create a PDF of the template. The only problem is I have no idea how to get it to execute the mail merge so that the pdf contains the actual data I need it to. Currently all I end up with is an export of the template itself in PDF
format.
I'm sure the problem with this is that I'm having trouble calling the .net functions for Word via powershell. Online I see various documents on how to do this with vb.net however Powershell instructions seem to not exist. I'm sure the actions are quite similar
but I need some help. Here is the section of the code I have currently:
$filename = "EmailTemplate1.dotx"
$filename2 = "EmailTemplateProc.pdf"
$word=new-object -com Word.Application
$doc=$word.Documents.Add($filename)
$word.Visible=$False
$word.ActiveDocument.Fields.Update()
$doc.WdMailMergeDestination.wdSendToNewDocument
$word.ActiveDocument
$Doc.saveas([ref] $filename2, [ref] 17)
$Doc.close()
$word.Quit()
I'm sure the problem lies somewhere at the $doc.WdMailMergeDestination and onward. Basically I want it to take the dotx file which already has the templated document with mail merged fields and save an executed mail merge as a PDF. Any insight
would be great.
Thanks in advance!

Not quite sure about that command line thing. I looked all through the support doc you posted and see nothing mentioning executing a mail merge via the command line. Is there something else i'm missing here? Can it be done with a macro?
Like I posted. As how to do a mail merge in the Word forum. You can run a macro from the command line or you can trigger the merge from a startup macro. The macros will reside in a template which will be specified on the command line
alone with the new document name and location.
You can create the macro in a minute with the macro recorder.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Mail merge using PDF file and Excel spreadsheet

How do I mail merge an existing PDF file (the template) with a 50-record text file exported from Excel to create 50 PDFs? I am using Adobe Acrobat XI. I could not find anything under TOOLS | FORMS that would allow me to do a mail merge. I was able to import the text file but it only produced one record.
Since this is a pre-designed legal document, I do not want to recreate the PDF file in MS Word, then perform the mail merge in Word to PDF.
From my online research it seems I will be forced to purchase an Acrobat plugin to perform this simple task.
Am I simply overlooking something?
Thanks.

oracle reports does not provide this capability. however, the e-business suite provides a tool that might do, what you are looking for ...

Mail Merge using HTML Office 2010 Service Pack 2 doesn't send

I have a user who sends out mailings several times a week using a Microsoft Word Mailmerge.
He recently had his physical PC upgraded and we gave him a computer with a fresh install of the same programs he had before.
When the mail merge is accessed everything seems to work fine (selecting the excel list of addresses to send to, specifying the recipient list, and going to send the mail merge we select the e-mail address column as the To list and the format as HTML and
select Send)
Once the send button is pressed it shows the working mouse pointer icon temporarily and then nothing.
I check outlook to see if the E-mails sent and there are none listed.
This same process works on another user's computer just fine and will send out the e-mails.
I have attempted the below troubleshooting steps:
I verified that all updates/service packs are installed.
I verified that the AV is listed as "Valid".
I disabled the AV during a test send and it still did not work.
I verified all the settings on both workstations to see if there are any differences and I was unable to find any.
I rebuilt the Outlook Profile.
I uninstalled and re-installed MS Outlook.
I checked to ensure Outlook was the default e-mail program in Default Programs.
I checked to see that Word is the default HTML program in internet option settings.
I checked to see if there was a 64 bit registry key in place that could cause problems and there has never been any 64 bit MS Office applications installed and so I did not find any.
Plain Text mailmerge works with one caveat.
I get an Outlook pop-up stating "A program is tryign to access e-mail address information stored in outlook. If this is unexpected, click Deny and verify your antivirus software is up-to-date. For more information about e-mail safety and how you might
be able to avoid getting this warning click Help" (this pop-up happens for each message that is being sent so a 50 person mailmerge asks 50 times)
And it shows a box where I can select Allow access for a specific time frame (10 minutes or less) and then 3 buttins "Allow" "Deny" and "Help"
Clicking help bring me to MS Office help menu that didn't explain anything close to the problem I was having and did not "HELP"
This is beginning to frustrate the user and I am running out of ideas to fix the problem. My next step was going to be attempt to re-install the OS at this point.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Whyitsme84

The Mail Merge was created using a different computer/user.
I have not attempted to create another mail merge from his account; I will try this and get back.
I have compared the options/settings from that and another user as I stated above.
Which registry keys would I import? I don't want to go importing keys and have it break something else.
They are not any add-ins on either PC that are different from each other; and as I stated above I have tried starting it in safe mode.
Anti-Virus is up to date; Also I even disabled the Anti-Virus to see if that changed anything, and it did not.
I will try creating a new mail-merge to see if somehow it creates a settings somewhere that will allow it.

Mail Merge using data from Numbers for iPad

Here is my situation:
I use Numbers for iPad to collect data on-site when I'm doing estimates. I then download the data from iCloud to Numbers on my laptop and complete the estimates. I would then like to be able to merge the data into a proposal template I've created in Pages.
The issue seems to be that Numbers for iPad removes header rows but Pages won't accept a Numbers document as a merge source unless it has header rows.
Has anyone found a workaround for this?

I was using Excel and Word for my small business. Then in 2007 I upgraded the whole office to Apple, began using Numbers for basic invoicing. Back then, the solution I found was to use CSV export to InDesign. A few days back I downloaded the 09 tryout and thought using mail merge would be easy.
I get the false populating too: I assume it comes from empty records, as they do not overwrite field names. Somehow I don't think I'm going to go through 2 years of accounting records to reformat my spreadsheet, just so Pages can correctly work with data that is in fact correctly formatted.
Also, there must be an option with the mail merge feature to choose which records I want to merge?!? The current solution (duplicating and erasing unwanted ones) is ridiculous, hiding unwanted rows in Numbers also doesn't work.
As most of the new features in iWork 09 are cosmetic, this one would have been a reason to use iWork as a real office suite. Pity - not really worth the update.

Mail 8.0 deleted email content when using mail drop

Using Mail 8.0 on Yosemite 10.1 I just spent a very long time answering an email. I attached a PDF of 30 MB before sending and the window to say it would be sent via mail drop appeared. I clicked Yes.
Later I checked sent messages to see the email I wrote and make sure it all went through OK. However, in the email only a link to the mail dropped PDF was there, and all the text I wrote had disappeared.
Nothing in sent, or saved boxes. It's a Gmail account, so I checked sent messages from the web interface for Gmail and also there was just the link.
I did a test and sent another email with said attachement and some random text, and it came out ok, it even had a fancy download button rather than some super long link.
What is going on? can I get my email back? Please help!

I've had - and am having -- all kinds of problems with Mail 8.0. Is there an update yet to fix the many, many ISSUES with 8.0?
I am ready to ditch the program unless fixes are forthcoming.

When I do a mail merge using an excel document it transfers correctly except the Zip Code part

I have a Word Document that I use to send out advertising letters in the mail. I get the information from an excel spreadsheet that i put together and it usually works out fine but recently after i have done the mail merge the Zip Code is not coming out.
It only shows as a zero "0".
I have maybe around 200 letters that i send out every week and after like the 1st 10 pages the merge doesn't work on the Zip Code.
Could you please let me know what I can do to fix it?
Both the Word and Excel Versions are 2007
Thanks!
Cynthia.

One thing I have done before when getting similar issues is changing the "ZipCode" field to a text field instead of a
number field. This is done in the field properties.

Is it possible to combine a address list with a Pages document and a data base in Numbers, the equivalent of "Mail Merge" using Microsoft?

Is it possible to combine an address list with a Pages 5.1 document and a data base in Numbers 3.1, the equivelent of Microsoft "Mail Merge"?

It is possible in Pages 09 and Numbers 09 but not in the versions you name.

How to mail merge via Mail.app?

I would link to run a mail merge via Numbers (or Excel) through Mail.app just like I can to print media with Pages.
Any ideas?

I have searched high and low for the answer and it appears the mac is seriously missing this basic tool that nearly all businesses need nowdays. It's a real shame. Brand new macbook pro and macbook air for our sales people and whatnot and who would have thought we'd have to resort back to our old windows tools on the mac (microsoft office and outlook on OSX). If we'd have known there was a major hole in the basic tools we wouldnt have moved over.
Anyway, that was a bit "rantish" but if I can be more constructive I've had suggestions to pay someone to write applescript and automator code for me, purchase office and outlook for mac and that's about it. I can't find any custom apps (except for MaxBulk Mailer and RoBoPostman) but they're both very contained though I may have to give them a go soon if I can find no other solution. (EDIT: You can also use online tools like sendgrid and the like but I want my own on machine system where I don't pay per month etc)
Basically people are saying numbers and pages haven't been updated much at all in the last 3 years so that's why this problem has been persistent for so long. Others claim it's not a problem (they must use all their contact data in the address book rather than databases and/or spreadsheets). It is a real problem though (I'm ranting again sorry! )
IF you find a solution I'd LOVE to hear it. Our marketing efforts are suffering due to this.

How to force Mail to use Mail Drop on 15MB attachment?

The recipient of an email message I composed has a maximum message size of 10MB. I am trying to send an attachment that is 15MB. Mail on Yosemite does not use Mail Drop unless the message is about 20MB or more. The message is being returned by the receiver's mail system because the message is 15MB and it exceeds their maximum of 10MB.
Is there a way, a user default maybe that can be entered in the Terminal app to force Mail on Yosemite to send my message using Mail Drop?
It would be nice if Mail on Yosemite recognized the email being returned and prompt you for a chance to resend using Mail Drop.

That stinks!, thanks for the update.

HT2500 how do e mail merge from mail

How can i do e mail merge from my mac

Something is not quite right here. A MacBook Air does not run any version of IOS, and would you per chance be using OS X 10.10.1 Yosemite instead?
In Excel, export your Christmas addresses as a comma separated value (CSV) file.
In OS X Contacts, make a new contact group — let's call it Christmas 2014. Click on this group to make it current. Then from Contacts > File > Import, select your CSV file from the import file chooser. Your Christmas list of contacts are now generated within the new contact group: Christmas 2014. This may be an imperfect process, and may require you to clean up some of these contacts.
In Contacts > File > Print, you can pick your Avery address label sheet stock number, pick the Christmas 2014 distribution, sort these contacts alphabetically, and print up your labels. Your labels will appear in the large display box in this print dialog. I am excluding this in the screen capture.

.Mac e-mail account using Mail

I have a .Mac e-mail account and use Mail to manage several e-mail accounts on multiple computers. I use .Mac to synchronize mail, address books, etc., on those computers. The POP accounts that I have deliver each e-mail to each computer, including my iPhone. The .Mac account does not, once it is received on one computer (or my iPhone), then it will not be delivered on the other computers (or my iPhone). My question is, how do I let .Mac know or Mail know that I want my e-mails to remain on the server so that each computer will get a copy of my mac.com e-mails (including my iPhone)?

If you have set up .Mac to use IMAP on all devices, each mail should arrive on each device.
There are two situation, where the effect you describe may happen:
1.
You use POP3 and have enabled to delete the mail after retrieving it. That way the mail arrives only on the first device checking your .Mac account.
2.
You use IMAP, but delete or move a mail on one device. IMAP stores all information server side. That way, if you delete a mail, it gets deleted on the server so it won't get delivered to any other device.
When using IMAP, no device does get any copy - with IMAP you get displayed the server side information. All modifications are made directly on the server.
