Sending mass emails in Outlook: A Guide

You can send mass emails using outlook by following a few simple steps. Here are the steps.

1. Outlook

2. Click the Mail tab at the top of your screen to select New Message.

3. Click “Compose” to choose a recipient, message body, and subject line. This can be changed later if you need to add recipients or change text formatting such as font size and spacing between lines.

Drag the space below Subject: until there is enough room for all your changes! Click “More” to see more options.

4. You can click on your email address (or another client) at the top of the screen to be taken directly to an empty body. Here you can write whatever you want!

Attachments and links can be added to Outlook if you need them. However, Outlook’s default settings are set up so that they don’t appear until someone opens them in their inbox. This may not always work for you!

5. When everything is in order, click on the Send button.

6. Send a copy to yourself by clicking on “Options”, at the bottom of the page, and choose “Send an email copy”.

This allows you to make changes before you send it. It is great if you have a question or want to add some additional information that wasn’t in the main message.

7. Outlook adds an automatic timestamp to each email once it has been sent. This makes it easy for any replies to be found – simply click on one of these timestamps while replying in Outlook’s inboxes.

8. Click “All” to view all messages sent by a particular sender. This will display all messages sent by that sender/site, including attachments.

9. View your Outlook sent and received emails by clicking on the small icon next to each message (the one that has two arrows).

The first is Sent Items. This shows items that have been marked sent but not yet received by their recipients. The second option is Read Items. It only displays email messages that have been received and have a slightly different layout than the main inbox.

Should Bulk Emails be Sent Using Outlook?

Let’s now see how bulk emails work in Outlook. It is generally not recommended to send bulk emails using Outlook.

There are many reasons this could be:

1. There can be no more than 100 items in your Send Items folder at one time. If you send more, they will be deleted!

2. Attachments to every email message are highly recommended. They can clog up your hard drive and take up valuable space.

3. Bulk emailing does not allow attachments. This means that recipients of bulk emails will need to download any files manually they require (such as images or scanned documents).

4. Bulk messages limit what can be done with each message. It is not possible to, for instance, reply directly from Outlook’s inbox.

5. You need to get a lot of responses to an email, such as “How many people will be going?” Sending one message to everyone could become tedious and time-consuming.

6. Outlook’s Inbox Rules will delete any email sent to the same address that you have in your inbox. If multiple people send emails to the same person, this can lead to serious problems.

7. You may have multiple folders on your hard disk (e.g. Junk E-mail, Sent Mail) and it might not be possible to view all of them at once in an email. This could lead to some messages being missed altogether.

8. Bulk email recipients cannot reply from Outlook’s inbox if they don’t have a copy. They will be forced to download the attachment and open it manually if they have to send a message.

9. Bulk email sending can be time-consuming. Even with automated systems like our Bulk Emailer, which takes just a few moments to set up, sending 1,000 messages takes approximately 5-10 minutes. Receiving them takes about 20 seconds depending on your internet connection.

10. Last…if you don’t know how many people will be going or who has said they will, it is pointless to send a message to them.
