I'm stuck with mail+address book (predominantly because of lack of time to research alternatives) and with a few thousand contacts to manage, I'm pretty in the dirt. Although they are in principle versatile and well integrated, you simply can't send a newsletter of a few lines of text out to 3000+ contacts. That brings my 1GHz PB to its knees and it's never obvious how many of the actual contacts the mail was sent to.
I'm therefore follwing this thread with interest. Also if someone has address book experience opposite to mine, I'd like to hear from them. Maybe I'm overlooking some obvious features there. I haven't even found obvious ways to search for duplicates, etc. cheers, gianfranco > Heather, > > i take it the os x address book is not suitable? > > It allows you to create multiple groups, create mailnng lists etc.... > > Pretty versatile. > > Ben > > > On 3 Jul 2005, at 10:37, heather wrote: > > > Thanks to those who helped with suggestions for e-newsletters.
