1and1 Mail for Windows 10 - Full description
1and1 Mail is a desktop email marketing tool for small and medium-sized businesses that need to send newsletters and other messages to groups of contacts. It combines contact-list management, newsletter design and campaign sending in one application. The free edition can send up to 50 emails at a time, making it suitable for smaller campaigns and routine customer communications.
The built-in WYSIWYG HTML editor lets users lay out newsletter content while viewing its appearance as they work, much like a word processor. For messages that need a personal touch, fields from the contact list can be used to personalize the subject, salutation and email body. This supports tailored communications without requiring each message to be written separately.
Contacts can be organized into multiple address-book groups, with no stated limit on the number of lists. The application imports and exports contacts in CSV and TXT formats, and address-book fields can be customized to match the information a business tracks. Campaigns can be scheduled and their sending frequency adjusted, helping users spread delivery over time rather than sending every message at once. The software also supports multithreaded sending, which can open multiple connections to mail servers for concurrent campaigns.
These features suit businesses that maintain customer mailing lists, prepare periodic newsletters or send campaign messages without relying on a hosted email-marketing service. Messages are sent through SMTP, and the program does not attach advertisements to outgoing emails. Users remain responsible for managing their lists appropriately and following the requirements of their email provider and applicable rules for marketing messages.
1and1 Mail is freeware for Windows, with Windows 10 among its stated supported systems. Its desktop workflow keeps list management, message creation and campaign timing together, while the free edition's per-batch sending limit makes it better suited to modest mailing needs than very large campaigns.
