With Massive Mail you can send personal email messages to a large group of people in a quick and easy way. You can create messages from the scratch, from your own templates, through a website or using the stationeries from the Apple's Mail through the Stationery Chooser, you can send thousands of messages with just a few clicks, even more, you can divide the addressees, by gender, country, language, you name it, and send several messages at the same time, the accumulated number of messages to the queue depends on the number of processors on your computer.

What's New
Version 2.0.5:
The code responsible for dispatching the messages was completely rewritten, now the execution of tasks is faster and safer.
The activity monitor was moved to a window.
You can choose which columns to display in the message viewer, to do so, right click on the top right of the message list.
When exporting, the color labels are preserved.
Fixed a crash when connecting to some servers.
Fixed a bug that prevented some servers send messages.
Fixed some bugs related to the "properties inspector".

Version 2.02 didn't work for me at all: I got the message "The file "main.mmstore" couldn't be opened because there is no such file." Creating emails worked ok, but nothing actually got sent.
Automatic update suggested 2.02 was up to date, yet 2.04 is out. Once I'd updated to 2.04 it worked fine.
In v 1.3 it was very easy to insert First Name or Last Name as they appeared top of the insert menu. Now the menu's cluttered with so much stuff in non-alphabetical order I'd really like to see the most commonly used fields at the top of the menu, and the rest in alphabetical order. It would be way easier to use.
Nice Job! We have a FileMaker database that does this but of course can't use Apple Mail's stationary so that's a nice touch! We keep a record of the emails in our contact DB so this wouldn't work for us out of the box. I'll have to play with it and see what can be done. Be nice if this was a FMP Plug-in! But regardless WELL DONE and at a fair price.
hello everyone, if there are any complaints or suggestions, please send them to the appropriate channel. People who support this project make it all the time and their response it was quick.
If you have any questions, please ask me. Use the feedback panel. Or send email to the address that appears on my macupdate.com'profile page.
macupdate.com said something right: "Please backup your claims with specific examples or reasons." and if you read the comments, many of them are really out of place (without a reason to be). And the others have been resolved (I hope).
I see nothing here that cannot already be done by Apples own Mail.app
An addition to Apples Mail.app like stationary seems more appropriate and will accomplish much more.
Massive Mail was created with the idea of easing the task of sending invitations, newsletters, congratulations to a group of people without having to hand write the same message for each of them. You just have to write a single message using the "tags" that you consider appropriate and Massive Mail will take care of customize on the fly the rest of the messages.
These tags are the variables that Massive Mail will replace with the actual data of your contacts, email, nickname, birthday, and so on.
So if you write: Dear ABFirstname. The final message will be: Dear John Doe. and the same for each person in the group.
Certainly you can do this with Mail.app, but you would have to "hand write" the same message again and again for all individuals in the group. This task can be very exhaustive depending on the size of the group.
Respectfully I still don't see it.
If I create a "Group" in my Apple Address Book (which s what the Apple Mail.app runs from) and lets call it "the best in Manufacturing) and I then drag all the names that I wish to send to into that group then I can simply send one e-mail to that group.
It is my choice whether or not just the Group Name or all the names show in the distribution.
Hello CONVERGENCESITE, the idea is that recipients will not see that the message was sent to a group of people. The idea is that they see that the message was "indivial", "personal."
I am sure that you have received this kind of message. In the header of the message appears only your email address, but in fact the message was sent to many more people with just a few clicks of a mouse.
Try Massive Mail so you see what I am talking about.
If the lazy developer had put any less effort into his iWeb written website it would be blank.
Couldn't even bother with release notes??
Then I won't bother trying 'Massive Mail'.
Release notes... yes, you're right, starting with the next version of Massive Mail, all versions will have release notes and I will update the website... my apologies.
Totally don't know what this application is good for.
If anyone wants to customize any email (like I always do), it can be done easily with Thunderbird, SeaMonkey or any Mozilla mail application. Actually, they can do way more than this just another small time Massive Mail.
Then I did a Google search for his name: "Dante Palacios" and discovered that there is a user here at MacUpdate with that real name: Glion
User Page: http://www.macupdate.com/users/Glion
His email is there, too. It would make sense for him to put up a free website somewhere. Perhaps someone should email him to suggest that.
The developer's website only gives the option to download version 0.7. Also, when clicked, the link goes out to some blog of some sort instead of downloading the file.
What are the new changes? They aren't on the developer's website or here on MacUpdate.
you can fix it yourself by doing the following: after downloading you get a file "Massive Mail.dmg.bz". Just rename this to "Massive Mail.dmg" it will ask you if it should use .dmg and you say yes. Now it is mountable. Cheers

With Massive Mail you can send personal email messages to a large group of people in a quick and easy way. You can create messages from the scratch, from your own templates, through a website or using the stationeries from the Apple's Mail through the Stationery Chooser, you can send thousands of messages with just a few clicks, even more, you can divide the addressees, by gender, country, language, you name it, and send several messages at the same time, the accumulated number of messages to the queue depends on the number of processors on your computer.
Creating templates with the Massive Mail 2 is very easy, you just have to create a collection of templates (or use an existing one), add contents to a message and save it as a template, but the truth is that once the message has been sent, the real template is the message itself, top it, with the new integration with iCal, the messages can be sent automatically, daily, weekly, monthly, annually, up to you.
The application allows you to view and edit a lot of your message properties, some of them like the keywords and comments can be sent with the message (as part of the headers), some others such as the label allows you to visually organize your messages in the message viewer, by the way, organize your messages can not be easier with the new message viewer you can create folders and smart folders to do so in a variety of ways.
The application has access to your Address Book contacts, but why stop there?, now you can create your own groups and addressees in a completely independent database.
Previewing a message is important, because it gives you the opportunity to see an approximation of how the message will be seen by the addressees, previews in Massive Mail 2 includes your custom headers and the variable substitutions in the subject and message content, yes including your own variables, wait a second, my own variables?, by default all information (text-based) in Address Book is a variable that will be replaced by real information of your contacts once a message is sent, but now you can also add more variables to the game, a word, a character, can be used as a variable or a placeholder, all variables are accessible from the menu "Insert".
There are no hidden stuffs in this place guys, your privacy matters to me, no hidden calls to home, nothing of sending emails without your consent, in fact each of the messages sent by the application is registered on the console, including those emails sent by the Crash Reporter, the Raw Source allows you to see the emails as they are sent to the server, only take into account that what you see in this window is the source of the message you are editing, so the headers might contain all the recipients, but do not worry Massive Mail will sent every email separately to each recipient.
Massive Mail was created with the Shareware spirit in mind, so yeah, many of the new features are recommendations from users like you and with the new support for AppleScript, you can add those features by yourself without having to wait for the developer to do so.

More than obvious. Not skewed. The persons who posted negatively simply opted to not use the star rating.
