I consider this little gem of a widget indispensable. So, I feel a little bad about looking a gift horse in the mouth.

Easy Envelopes doesn't print a Facing Identification Mark or "FIM" on the envelope. If the objective is to help your mail sail through the postal services automation, not having a FIM is glaring omission. They've known about it for a long time and new versions have come out and they still don't do it. Addressix does it, but it's all but defunct at this point.

It's worth mentioning that the barcode Easy Envelopes uses is a POSTNET barcode. As of May, 2011, this barcode format is being deprecated by the US Postal Service in favor of the Intelligent Mail barcode, or "IMB." Since they won't even add a FIM, I'm guessing that IMB is not in Easy Envelope's future. :-(

I hope I am proven wrong on all counts. That would be wonderful.

Please be aware that this change only affects automation price pieces, in which case you wouldn't be using EasyEnvelopes to print your envelopes. Also, FIMs are not used except for Business Reply Mail, so you shouldn't be printing your own FIMs anyway.

So long as you're using EE to pre-print envelopes for proper usage, the output it gives you is as good as you can get; changing to IMb or adding FIMs isn't going to help (the latter one could possibly delay a mailing!)

Easy Envelope is advertised as OS 10.6 compatible. However, the print dialog box hangs and requires a log out. I contacted Ambrosia Software and received “We're aware of this issue happening to a few people. At this time there's no workaround or update in the wing” as a reply. If you have a workaround, please post.

having the same problem, only can get box off screen with a restart... anybody now of another widget for envelopes? Or wen this problem will b fixed???

Same problem here - I believe it is more widespread than they realize. Pity too because it's because of this free software by Ambrosia, that I ended up buying Snapz Pro and Wiretap Studio. I love the app for the ease of use, but this problem makes it almost not worth the effort.

This was a wonderful app up through Leopard. But now it's broken for a lot of us Snow Leopard users. They acknowledge this on their support page, thus:

http://www.ambrosiasw.com/support/faqs/products/easyenvelopes-widget/Why-is-the-print-dialog-box-stuck-on-my-screen

So forget about a workaround.

I can't blame them for not investing to fix a freebie, but now I've got to search out a replacement, and I'll gladly pay for a good one. (Address Book itself is almost useless for printing envelopes.)

Arrrrrgh!

An outstanding, simple, and intuitive widget for occasional envelope printing that includes fine Mac address book integration. This has become only software I use for non-bulk envelope creation. Version 1.0.8 in a clean installation of MacOS 10.6 works flawlessly for me as well.

Easy Envelopes does a way better job than office envelope wizard, and kills Apple's Address Book, both of which require multiple steps just to print one unique envelope. This software is absolutely fantastic. It is so easy to use, and even prints out USPS barcodes, truly outstanding. I would easily pay $10 for this application.

Amazing that a 3rd party has to create something like this essential widget. New version works great. Thanks AmbrosiaSW!

They finally added something I suggested over a year ago! They have now added the Delivery Point digits after the ZIP+4 into the POSTNET bar code. Yay!

Now that POSTNET is being deprecated, hopefully EasyEnvelopes will include its replacement, "Intelligent Mail Barcode," in a future release.

First envelope I tried to print gave me an error because I had duplex printing checked. That's not so bad. But what IS bad is that the OK button on the dialog box is grayed out so I can't close the error message, can't print the envelope, can't use the widget, can't clear the message off of my screen, etc.

I was wonderin if you print the envelope out, do you have to have a envelope in the printer? If not, do I have to have some type of special paper in the printer?

Hello,

The software EasyEnvelopes simply offers you an easy way of printing out envelopes, as it integrates with your Address Book, you can quickly and easily address an envelope to a friend or business contact. By using the software it formats it to have a perfect formatted envelope. It handles USPS bar codes for both 5 and 9 digit bar codes, and boasts many time-saving nicities.

You will need to supply your own envelopes to be printed upon, Ambrosia Software does not supply the envelopes. The software is designed to let you control the size of the envelope you wish to print on as well as the formatting for the return and mailing address. If you have any further questions please feel free to check out the Easy Envelopes Widget FAQs found on our site.

Tommy_b had trouble on 06 Apr 2011

I'm using this on a machine with 10.6.6 as a standalone app built using Mesa Dynamics' Amnesty Singles - one could use another program that converts widgets to desktop apps as well I imagine - and it seems to run ok for me.

I am using the trial version of Amnesty Singles so there is a nag box that pops up. (I don't like eSellerate - the program's third party e-vendor - so I have removed all portions of the eSellerate privacy-invasive framework from the Amnesty Singles app. Otherwise I'd gladly buy a copy but can't find another way to do this. =( )

I can't really explain why I don't get the same errors as outlined below other than the fact that I am using it as a standalone app and not a widget.

Be warned: Easy Envelopes 1.0.7 does NOT work properly in OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. It can print envelopes but has freezes when minimized as well as with the Print dialog screen.

No word when or if Easy Envelopes will be updated to work with 10.6 by the developers, Ambrosia Software.
