I am trying to do a mail merge....I have it all the way done minus the actual e-mailing part. I have 2 problems.

1) I need to e-mail out of a Yahoo account rather than an Outlook account

2) I need to attach a Word doc to all of the e-mails

Any help to how I should go about doing this would be much appreciated.

I've already read over these and can't figure it out....

How many contacts? Probably easier to just bcc everyone through Yahoo.

I don't know if mail merge is possible through Yahoo, I would never try it with an attachment cause it'll probably just go to spam anyways.

Maybe 2...300. I have to put the individuals name at the top of the e-mail so I can't just bcc.

I've never done a mail merge with anything besides Outlook so I don't even know if it's possible.

If you already have a working Outlook setup, you should be able to change *just* your email address (in settings) to your Yahoo address. Mail would go out through the server you already have configured but the From address would be the yahoo email you specify. Test it out first.

You aren't going to be able to do this directly from yahoo i don't think.

you might can setup the yahoo account in outlook and do it that way though. i wrote a script once in excel that let you make a list of names/attachment/subjects, etc and it would mail an email to everyone with different parameters for each person... it was pretty cool.

but yea, why does this HAVE to be done in yahoo?

I guess it doesn't...I'm doing it for my boss and he wants his e-mail on it.
