» Group mails to contacts and clients
Posted by Anders Østergaard Jensen on 11/30 2009 at 3:46 AMHave you often found yourself in need of mailing several recipients at once? One way of doing it is to copy all the recipients’ mail addresses to the BCC field in your mail application, but that quickly gets cumbersome, especially if the same list of recipients is shared between several colleagues. The overview drifts away completely once you’ve got multiple e-mail addresses registered on the same recipient and you cannot remember which of the addresses to use.
Meeho!™ now lets your organize your group mails, say, mails that are sent to one or several groups of clients or contacts. To send a group mail to a contact group, you simply choose Clients > Contact overview. Then you click the blue arrow to the right and choose Contact groups:

Here you access Contact groups (when you wish to send a group mail to all the members of a contact group). (Please note that the above screenshot is in Danish.)
Likewise, you’ll find your client groups by choosing Client overview and then Client groups. If you choose either a client or contact group, you’ll get to see a panel from which you can send a group mail to all the contacts or clients in the group:

Here, you see the option of sending a group mail to a group of contacts. (Please note that the above screenshot is in Danish.)
It is completely deliberate that Meeho!™ generates a cryptic e-mail address when you wish to send a group mail. We make use of an encrypted (scrambled) address for your safety so that any eventual outsiders cannot guess the group mail address for mailing your contact and client groups. This way, you’ll avoid spam and other nastiness. Here, we send a mail to the chosen contact group:

It can easily look like this in Gmail.
The group mailing lists are open for the included contacts or clients, giving them the option of responding to your mails directly. Any response is sent to all the clients or contacts on the list if they reply straight to the cryptic e-mail address provided.
To sum things up, we have now introduced a central group mailing archive that is constantly accessible and updated. We sincerely hope that the new group mail functionality can ease and leverage our clients’ communication with their clients and contacts.
