Sending out large volume of emails to customers, subscribers, does not have to be complicated. Instead of paying for bulk email service month after month, and worry that the email service provider may goes out of business anytime, you can do it in-house by using Group Mail.

GroupMail Business Edition is a high-performance desktop email application designed for high volume email marketing. It lets you create and manage any number of groups (with any field structure you like) with any number of recipients. GroupMail Business Edition can send large volume of emails much faster by using up to 256 simultaneous connections and incorporates cool features like Database Direct Linking & Importing (ADO/OLEDB/ODBC), Scheduling, Queuing, Background sending, MS Outlook Integration, routing, XML document support, and much much more!

• Send high impact, professional looking emails that are "personalized" for each of your recipients. Using fields of information you have stored for each of your contacts, you can easily create highly personalized messages and templates.
  
  Subject lines can be personalized for added impact. Custom files can also be attached to each message you sent, automatically, making GroupMail a perfect tool for sending personalized documents such as eNewsletters, announcements, promotions, follow up, reports, and quotes to your recipients. People respond better when they receive email that actually address their first name. 
  
  HTML supported means you can add images and highly formatted text to your messages to create high impact emails. Full Spell checker is also included to improve your message. 
  
  Fine tune your personalization using powerful but easy to use IF THEN ELSE scripts right inside your messages, allowing you to create conditional dynamic messages based on information you have stored for your recipients. Format merge fields - turn 1000000 into 1,000,000, and make mishaps like 'Dear jOE' in to 'Dear Joe'.
  
  All emails can be previewed before sending with 100% accuracy - this lets you see exactly what your clients are going to see before you even send email to them!

• Manage an unlimited number of fully customizable groups/lists with an unlimited number of recipients in each. Unlike other email software that limits the number of email you can send, GroupMail lets you create and manage any number of groups (with any field structure you like) with any number of recipients. The sky the limit.
  
  All group management (search, copy, move, modify, purge, merge, import, export, delete, sort, print etc.) is carried out via its unique Group Manager and switching between groups when editing or sending your messages is a simple one click process.

• Keep your recipient details private and secure. GroupMail will never expose your recipient lists to your recipients like typical email packages do! Your recipient lists are one of your most valuable assets - GroupMail will make sure that you don't give them away, even by accident. A lot of email packages on the market will happily let you expose your entire mailing list in the headers (To or CC field) of the messages you send. This will never happen with GroupMail. The only email addresses your recipients will ever see in the headers of messages you send them are theirs and yours.
