Mail Merge Toolkit is a powerful add-in for Microsoft Office extending the mail merging capabilities in Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Word and Microsoft Publisher. This app allows you to realize really personalized mass mailing easily and efficiently by providing a set of requested and unique features:

The Mail Merge Toolkit dialogue looks very similar to the standard Microsoft Office box "Merge to Electronic Mail". In that box, like in the standard one, you can choose the data field containing recipient addresses, set message subject (btw, in Mail Merge Toolkit you can use automatic data field insertion like in a document text), set the format, and choose files to be attached to each message if necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions about mail merging add-in for Microsoft Outlook

Question: Every time I try to send a mail merge with a party CC'd it seems to add an additional CC to my mailmerge. Do you know if there is a way to correct this?

Answer: Our Mail Merge Outlook Toolkit software works as follows: according to the number of e-mail addresses in the "To:" field, Mail Merge Toolkit generates personal messages for every single recipient (as many messages as many recipients in the "To:" field), and then, places all those individual messages into Outlook Outbox. I.e. only "To:" field matters for generating a single personal message. That means, if your original, "source" message contains addresses in the "CC" or "BCC" field - every message generated for a single "To:"-recipient will contain all these addresses in those secondary fields, so, therefore, a (blind) copy of every message sent to a single "To:"-recipient will be also sent to the secondary recipients (specified in "CC" and "BCC"). So, if you add e.g. 100 recipients into the "TO:" field, and a recipient into CC - your CC-recipient will get 100 message copies addressed to your 100 TO-recipients. This behavior is correct. Therefore, we usually strongly recommend our customers to avoid using the "CC" or "BCC" fields if mail merge feature is used.

Question: Does Mail Merge Toolkit enable me to send individualized attachments in the mail merge, so that each email contains a different attachment?

Answer: Yes, Mail Merge Outlook Toolkit will help you attach to your personalized messages unique attachments to unique recipients (or, also static files if needed). With Mail Merge Toolkit add-in, you can merge fields from different data sources, incl. Excel data files: all the opportunities of the native mail merge in Word are supported by our Mail Merge Toolkit since it is the extension of the regular Office Mail Merge feature. Its option appears in the last 6th step in Word, as an alternative towards the regular "Electronic Mail", if you follow Step by Step Mail Merge Wizard, and enables some additional features there. And you can send personalized attachments with this tool - a sample of such use with the Excel base is illustrated in this video tutorial.

Question: Is there a way to send from a non-primary email address? I sent a test email, but there was no option to change the "From" field before sending.

Answer: Our mail merge tool does not provide any possibility to edit the From field. But if you have several accounts in Outlook, or if you have several mail profiles in your system - Mail Merge Toolkit will display profile or account selection dialogue: if you close Outlook before mailing (and do not use Outlook Contacts as a data source) - you will get profile selection before the account selection. You can test with a separate account, or also with a separate mail profile. If you e.g. send through a POP3 account - Outlook will send a message with the address specified as the sender's address in your POP3 account settings. If you send using some specific Exchange feature (delegate access, or "send as", or "send on behalf") - your Exchange Server analyzes data in the From field and processes it according to the sender's permissions to send as the specified user. Please contact your mail server administrator for more details about using these features.
