Hello Apple Community, 🙂

Go to Tools – Mail Merge Manager; The Mail Merge Manager will then open. Select “Create New” and choose “Form Letters” if you want to send an email. In the main Word document write out your email. You can merge fields into your document here to personalise it. For example, you may want to write Dear “clients name”.

• Open a new, blank document. From the Tools menu, select Mail Merge Manager. In section 1 of the Mail Merge Manager, labeled 'Select Document Type', click Create New. Select the kind of of file you wish to create from the following types.
• Microsoft Word 2016 training video on how to use Mail Merge, which allows you to create a single form letter, envelope, email or label and duplicate it insta.
• Start your Mail Merge document. In this step, you will begin the process of creating your Mail Merge. Link the Mail Merge file to your name badge list. Your names list is the data source from which MS Word will be pulled directly from MS Excel, MS Access or other data file during the Mail Merge. Select a layout for your name badges.

I am desperately trying to find an email solution to email my clients within OS X Yosemite. I have tried a few applications from the AppStore, but I find them mostly problematic and not a real solution.

Intention = Send several hundred emails to several hundred people, all individually addressed with 'Hello FIRSTNAME,' then bla, bla attached is (your monthly newsletter or whatever I want to attach) , with my email signature included.

Over a decade ago I could get this done in with Word and Outlook on Windows 7 and though I find OS X light years ahead on many levels, there is this one feature I find tremendously valuable is unfortunately missing and I have struggled with for years.

PLEASE HELP 🙂

Solutions tried so far:

1. First, I know how to create a mail merge document in Pages from Numbers with the Pages Data Merge app. As you can tell from what I wrote, this is not what I am trying to do.

2. Three AppStore apps, one would stop the entire process if there was a faulty email and I would have to start over, but I would not know at which point in the list to start from, another that would not support attachments and another that would not support text formatting, so my email signature looked like an old typewriter font.

There is one more solution I have not tried and that is MaxBulk Mailer SE. I just don't want to spend another $60 to be disappointed again. So if anyone has used this please let me know the pros and cons.

One last thought, I really think lacking this feature is a complete stupidity. So please, please, please, put this simple feature back, please.

Software-as-a-Service Alternatives

If you're an organization doing a lot of targeted mailings and campaigns, you may want to consider uploading your email lists to an online service that will track campaigns and templates for you as well as give your users an easy way to unsubscribe. Here are some examples of those SaaS solutions:

Google Add-ons

There are also some third-party add-on solutions. If you don't mind the developers having access to your Google information, then you may want to explore these options:

Some other funky workarounds...

This Apple support communities discussion has some interesting other workarounds in Mac OS X for doing an email merge, including using the Mail Merge add-on for Thunderbird.

Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, Outlook) Email Merge

This blog post is really about how to do an email merge using Microsoft Office on a Mac, so here are the steps and considerations. I'm using Gmail as an example, but you can do an email merge with any kind of email account, as long as it can be put into Outlook (Exchange, POP, IMAP, etc.).

Also, please be mindful, since you don't really have an unsubscribe button in Outlook email merges, that you should still be complying with the CAN-SPAM Act guide.

So, with Gmail as an example, go to Settings.

Under Forwarding and POP/IMAP, make sure Enable IMAP is selected (you may have to scroll down a bit to see the option).

For some reason, Google doesn't consider Outlook to be secure, so in order to access Google from Outlook, you'll have to go to google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps and select Turn on.

Launch up Outlook and select Outlook >Preferences.

Click on Accounts

Add whatever account you plan on emailing from. Since we're using a Gmail account as an example, you would click Other Email.

Enter the appropriate information, and then click Add Account.

Then click on Outlook and select Work Offline. This step isn't necessary, but I highly recommend it, because it gives you a chance to spotcheck the merged emails before they go out.

Now, launch up /Applications/Mail.app and go to Mail and select Preferences.

Unfortunately, Apple has made it so you can't select the preferences until you have set up at least one account, so you may have to set up your email account in Mail as well, even though we won't be using it.

Under Default email reader, select Microsoft Outlook.app.

If you find that Mail keeps reverting the default email client to be Mail instead of Outlook, you may have to run this command:

How To Do Mail Merge In Excel

Make sure your Excel worksheet has at least an email column and another column (e.g., First Name). Save the Excel file some place where you can find it easily later.

Launch up Word and under Mailings, select the type to be Letters.

Then, select Use an Existing List and find the Excel file you saved earlier.

If you created the Excel sheet, you know it's not malicious. Click OK.

Click OK again, unless you're using another worksheet and have to select that.

You can insert values from different columns in the spreadsheet to be dynamic parts of your email (for example, Dear «First_Name» so the person's actual first name fills in).

When you're happy with how your 'letter' (email) looks, select Merge to E-Mail.

If Merge to E-Mail is grayed out, it means Word doesn't think that Outlook is the default email client. I've seen two situations for this—one is addressed with that command in case Mail stubbornly keeps itself as the default email client, and the other is the corresponding Outlook version not being installed. In other words, you can mix and match and use Word 2011 with Outlook 2016 as long as Outlook 2011 is installed.

Select the email address header for the To, put in the email subject you want recipients to see for Subject, and then select the message format type (probably HTML Message if you have any kind of bold/italics/color in your message).

Then click Mail Merge to Outbox.

This is where the setting-Outlook-to-offline-mode approach pays off, because you'll see your Outbox populate with the merged emails that won't send immediately.

So it means you can go into several of the pending emails and just make sure they look the way you want.

When you're satisfied with the messages, select Outlook >Work Offine to put it back online again, and then your messages should send.
