## What is Mailer?

Newsletters and Group Mail with Attachments, Templates, HTML and CSS 

"Mailer" is the multi-tool for mail sending.
- Send attachments (e.g. your vCard (business card), a PDF, etc.)
- Send emails to groups using individualized mail (one mail per recipient).
- Create and organize rich text (HTML) email templates.
- Manage and add attachments directly on your device (e.g., downloading from your DropBox (requires free DropBox app).
- Create a template which sends the contents of the clipboard to predefined recipients in two taps.
- Create professional mailings.

Thus, Mailer replaces a vCard Mailer App, a Group Mail App, a HTML Mail App, an Attachment Mail App, a Clipboard Mail App and much more - five mail apps in one.

Templates can contain placeholders. From the template, Mailer quickly generates emails to either a single person or people from a distribution list. When generating the email, Mailer replaces each placeholder with the corresponding data. Examples include
- Current contents of the clipboard (aka pasteboard)
- Data from an item in the recipient’s address book entry (e.g., first name or last name)

Use Cases

Some use cases for this app are:
- Sending personalized newsletters/brochures with attachments.
- Sending personalized greetings at Christmas or New Year.
- Sending personalized information to a group participating in an event, e.g., a seminar, etc.
- You can use the 'Notes' part of the recipient’s address book entry to store info (e.g., points achieved in a test) and automatically include these notes in the email generated.
- Mailer is useful even without using the personalization: it allows you to maintain and organize a set of HTML email templates.

NOTE: You can try out all features of Mailer with the (free) lite version of Mailer. It is fully functional, however it will show a message at the bottom of each generated email. This full version will not show this message!

Detailed Description

With Mailer you can create an email template containing certain placeholders (e.g., for the recipient’s name). You then create a list of recipients. Then, for each recipient Mailer replaces the placeholder by the corresponding value from the recipient’s address book entry and generate a personalized mail for each recipient.

Features

Placeholders for Recipient's Address Book Data: For each recipient, Mailer takes the template and replaces any of the Mailer placeholders by the corresponding value from the recipient’s Address Book entry. Note: You do not have to enter these placeholders by hand; you can pick them from a list.

Styled Text (HTML) Templates: Templates can be HTML and the mail generated can be sent as HTML mail. The template editor provides a picker list for easy entry of the most common HTML tags, like bold or italic text, etc.

Organizing Templates: You can organize your templates in groups. To create a group or edit names or order of group tap the 'Group' button in the template list. Note: A group can be deleted only if it is empty.
When editing a list view with sections it may happen that a row cannot be moved beyond the last row. As a workaround, you can add a dummy row to the end of your list.

Attachments: Mailer supports sending attachments (only for templates with user defined SMTP accounts). Attachments are managed in Mailer’s Documents storage. You add documents to be used as attachments via iTunes or via direct download. Example: Adding a file from your DropBox to Mailer is easy. Create a DropBox link in DropBox, switch to Mailer, select Add Attachment and press "Download".

Send Queue and SMTP Accounts: A template can be set to use a specific SMTP account. In this case mails are sent without user interaction (quickly). On multitasking-aware devices the send queue is processed in the background.

Note: Mailer can use Contact groups.

## Key features

### 4/5 — Just needs updating

*2018-01-31, version 7.3*

I bought this app a number of years ago and still use it quite regularly. It’s the only iOS app that I’ve found that does what I need: sends personalized templates in a relatively quick fashion and allows you to add attachments as well.  The only thing I don’t like about this app is that when sending through my work email my email signature shows up as an attachment.  It’s not the end of the world but if this were fixed it would be nearly perfect for my needs.  Would love to see more updates to this app.

### 5/5 — Great but has been forgotten

*2016-02-21, version 6.39*

It's 2016 and I returned to see if the developer decided to update this app, but no. The last time I left a review it was 2013, asking to update.

This is still a very useful app that has been neglected. When emails are too professional it resembles spam and often winds up in trash. A simple email works to a group.

Please developer, relaunch this app, updated then marketed, as the real alternative to slick group emailing.

### 5/5 — An I-can't-believe-I-can-do-this-on-an-iPhone App

*2013-04-02, version 6.34*

An incredibly powerful I-can't-believe-I-can-do-this-on-an-iPhone App. Give yourself time to get past the small learning curve and you'll be able to do things on your iPhone that you can't do on your computer. 

The dev is responsive and helpful by email.

### 1/5 — Very bad app

*2012-11-15, version 6.32*

I don't like it because very lost option app

### 4/5 — Awesome app

*2012-10-22, version 6.31*

I have used this app now almost one year, it took some getting use to. I have to send out 600 mails per week and I am glad that I can depend on such an app.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2012-10-19, version 6.31*

Easy to use! It was hard to understand at 1st because my mind thinks a little different. Took me 2 data to learn it. I sent support emails and within two emails the explain what I was doing wrong the I was Embarrassed how easy it was. Hahaha little Patients at first and then bomb! Very easy!

### 5/5 — Best App Ever

*2012-08-19, version 6.31*

This is the best mailer app. It allows me to pre-type the message and group sent later. I found it easy to use. One thing I hope developer could make it easy to backup my Templates, or add function to import and export templates. Please continue to support this app.

### 1/5 — Mailer review

*2011-06-24, version 6.20*

I guess i made a rash decision, i thought i am buying an app which will simply ad an attachment option to ipad mail. No, i was wrong. If you have the patience to setup a complete email client and go through a very tidious configuration process to setup this app then this is for you. I wish i coud get my money back.

### 1/5 — Mailer too difficult

*2011-05-08, version 6.17*

Not very easy to use. Not intuitive. Needs to be easier to understand.

### 5/5 — Great customer assistance

*2011-02-15, version 6.10*

Update: The app developer contacted me and offered assistance with the app. I was very impressed. I changed to five stars because that level of concern for your app deserves five stars.

I am sure this has some great features but after 10 minutes I still couldn't send an email and gave up. Glad it was only a buck.
