Simple Mailer

Communication methods have a lot to benefit from an active Internet connection. A common one, for both formal, and personal activities is the email system. Multiple providers are at your disposal, including desktop clients to cut the dependency of a web browser. With Simple Mailer you’re able to compose a message, add attachments, and send it to multiple contacts in the blink of an eye.

Relies on an email client to send messages

One of the main requirements is an active Internet connection, at least during the send process. Another is a desktop email client, because you find the application can’t really handle the whole operation on its own. As soon as you hit “send”, the client shows up and takes care of the transfer process. Any client is supported, with options like Mozilla Thunderbird, Microsoft Outlook, or Foxit.
Since your credentials are not required here, configuring settings takes only a little while, and isn’t really mandatory. However, you’re free to choose the preferred protocol, with options for MAPI, or SMTP, with related fields for host, port, user, password, and whether to use explicit TLS. Unfortunately, a proxy connection can’t be configured.

Messages, attachments, and recipients

The whole operation takes you through three steps, each with its set of features in a different tab. The first is where you write down the email body, and title, sender name, and upload attachments, which can be any kind of file, but size depends on the provider, or client limit. The message needs to be clean, because there are no built-in text edit options, or the possibility to include a signature.
Moving on to the Recipients tab is where you set up the list of individuals to receive your message. With no option to import from a saved file, or the desktop client contacts organizer, you need to manually add every address. When done, the Send tab lets you start delivering emails, with a log showing event status.

On an ending note

To sum it up, Simple Mailer does help you deliver a message to multiple recipients in the end, but it can’t finish the job on its own. Messages need to be in plain text, with no signature field, or option to load an existing list of recipients. Sending, the most important step, is actually handled by your default email client.
