Default Anyone used Send Personally?

I'm looking for an Outlook add-in that will send emails to groups of people
individually.

Here's the link to their site:
http://www.mapilab.com/outlook/send_personally/

I would appreciate any comments on this program or suggestions for a program
that anyone has used that they have found to work well.

Thanks!

Why use an add-in when Office comes with that ability natively? Use Help
and look up "mail merge".

Default Merge using categories? was Anyone used Send Personally?

OK, I'm going through the tutorial to use mail merge - next question, can I
select the recipients of the email by category? I see you can select by
state, etc., but categories aren't even in the list that pops up while
selecting for the merge.

If I click on the contact list, I get contacts that I don't want to send
this particular email to, but can't figure out how to sort out by category.
It would be a real pain to go through the list and uncheck the contacts I
don't want the email to go to.

Start in your Contacts folder and view it in the By Category view. Select
the category you want, then click ToolsMail Merge. The first dialogue that
appears should allow you to choose your selection as the data source.

I can start the Mail Merge procedure through Outlook instead of through Word
as the Microsoft tutorial instructs? That seems to make more sense, but I
was just following the tutorial.

Thanks for your help, I appreciate it.
