Serial Mail for Mac

Used Serial Mail for Mac?

Developer’s Description

Generate personalized emails from an Address Book group.

A plug-in for the Mail application to generate serial mailings (mail merge, bulk mail) using data provided by an Address Book group. The script will process the message body of the (selected) template message and replace certain tags by their corresponding value from the Address Book for each recipient. You may use custom data by specifying your own labels in the "related names" section of the persons Address Book entry (e.g. "Assistant", "Customer number", etc.) and the script will replace the corresponding tags by the corresponding Address Book values (Example: Use the script to inform students of their score (and other stuff), which is stored in AddressBook).The program supports almost any of the data fields of the OS X Address Book, including user defined fields. The template rules are also applied to the subject line (so you may generate custom subject lines).Rich text emails may be created (but plain text templates are processed faster).

Nice, but certainly NOT a business-class solution

Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Serial Mail seemed nice and simple and it probably is, but it is not a business-class solution. It can't include sender name in the "To:" header, it is quite slow (for large amounts of HTML messages) and relies on Mail to send messages. I had to adjust Mail settings and even them my HTML message I have prepared in Mail lost part of its formatting (i.e. it did not turn in the plain text, but things like indentation were lost). After purchasing it and playing for a while I found out that I can't really use it for sending a well-formatted letter to a large number of customers. (Again, if you use it for a smaller number of recipients and/or if you use plain text and/or don't need names to appear along with the recipient's address, it may be Ok for you.) I finally bought Mailings which costs $25, you can try it out for free without limitations (except a time period), and it's actually simpler to use and gives you a more complete and reliable solution. That's a product actually worth its cost.

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />This software facilitates sending personalized emails to multiple addressees. Works fine. The instructions are excellent for experienced users, but will be over the head of many.
