hi,
I did not know where to put this so I shoved it here under traditional marketing
I have a big headache after spending days looking for software and coming up a blank, so I am hoping someone here may be able to point me into the right direction..
I currently run an email program called pocomail.. it is great and sense running it I have not had virus issues etc... However its got some drawbacks in that I cant sucessfully merge my address books with emails.
for example if I send out a hundred emails I usually have to say "hi everyone" as the software will not merge the first name so that the email is sent to the client looking like it was individual for them... I walked away from microsoft products years ago due to all the viruses but now I am pulling my hair out.
does anyone know of a great email program that has these features (prefer not a microsoft product as a bullet in the head may be less painful - unless someone can come up with evidence of why the program wont crash or start collecting viruses for my distribution):
* able to merge the address book with the email
* allows me to send and email and select a whole book of addresses at once... eg.. I run several businesses all with there own contact lists. if I want to send and email to a whole list I am having to do block selections of address to go into the email, I just want to be able to select the whole list with one click.
Additional nice things - if there is such a program
* This would be nice - I run some sites that collect email addresses as the clients sign up for newletters. I use ListMailPro for this, whilst it does a good job its a little bit old in functionality.. To send an email means typing it and then cutting and pasting into the system on the net etc...
It would be good if there was a program that would enable me to collect email addresses of newletter subscribers, record them into the email program, all me to creat a standard email, then send it out to the newsletter recipients straight from my pc (no cut and pasting).. plus can do those additional points above...
There must be something out there that does not want me to pay hundreds of dollars each month... I prefer to purchase the software and own it, and do what I like with it...
any helpers ?
thanks
