Email Managing Program

(1/2) > >>

Scandanavian War Machine:
I need a free email managing program.
and i need it today.

the only requirement is that when sending emails to a group of contacts and it finds an invalid email address it wont stop sending the message, it will just skip that contact and keep going. is that too much to ask?
please help me out here. this is very important. my boss is very angry right now and i'd like to avoid being punched or fired.

if anyone knows an email manager that will do that, please let me know.

Scandanavian War Machine:
thank you for the help mberan.
thunderbird is infinitely better than outlook....but it still suffers from the same crippling defect.
is there some way to get around it? a way to tell it not to do that perhaps?

or is that just something that all mail managers do? it seems like such a simple thing to avoid. if you were using hotmail or something like that you would just get back a reciept that said it couldnt be delivered....but nooo...these fancy programs nowadays have to prevent you from sending it in the first place; preventing you from sending anything else in the process.

somebody please help me fix this. i really dont wanna keep having to try to send an email, have it get denied, find the culprit in my address book, delete said culprit, then repeat over and over again until all the invalid email addresses are gone.



New Info: i took a break from typing this to work on the email thing some more and when i sent it to ferret out the bad contacts, it actually got sent instead! i promptly got back 7 reciepts telling me that a number of messages couldnt be sent.
if you thought i was confused before; you should see me now. i dont even know what to think.

mberan42:
I don't understand your problem exactly...

You're trying to mail 1 message to 10 people? (Just throwing out a number there.)

Message sends fine to 1.
Message sends fine to 2.
Message sends fine to 3.
Message sends fine to 4.
Message sends fine to 5.
Message sends fine to 6.
Message can't be sent to 7.
Message doesn't even send to 8.
Message doesn't even send to 9.
Message doesn't even send to 10.

That correct?

Scandanavian War Machine:
sort of. if it cant be sent to #7, it wont get sent to anyone. which just seems really stupid to me.
