Mail Merge for SeaMonkey 3.5.0

If you send a mail to multiple recipients, there are two common problems: First you don't want each recipient to see the others. The only workaround would be to send a mail (To) to yourself and a Blind Carbon Copy (Bcc) to each recipient or to send more than one mail. Second you are often not allowed to send to more than 25 or 100 recipients at one time. The only workaround would be to write more than one e-mail.

Mass Mail:
With "Mass Mail" you can create one mail for each recipient from a draft! Write a New Message; add all recipients to To; add Subject, Body and Attachments; click "File -> Mail Merge". For each recipient a new mail is created automatically and stored in "Local Folders -> Outbox". Ready to send: "File -> Send Unsent Messages"

Personal Mail:
With "Personal Mail" you can create one mail for each record in a CSV from a draft! Write a New Message; add the Variable to To; add Subject, Body and Attachments; click "File -> Mail Merge". For each recipient a new mail is created automatically and stored in "Local Folders -> Outbox". Ready to send: "File -> Send Unsent Messages"
