In this blog post that we published earlier this year, we described how to send emails from MultiMailer via a Google server. MultiMailer can also send emails via a Microsoft server (for example an Outlook server). How to do this, we will cover in this tip:

> How to send emails via a Microsoft server when using MultiMailer

The tip requires that you have MultiMailer 2027 or the latest update of MultiMailer 2024 installed in your computer. You must also have a Microsoft account, for example a Microsoft 365 account.

In MultiMailer it is possible to search after text in most of the lists in the program. For example, if you want to search for text in the mailing list (in the Mailing List tab), you can select the menu item Edit – Find or press the keys Ctrl F, and then type your search text in the dialog box that appears and click the Find button. MultiMailer will then search for and display the first line in the list where there is a match.

This is the traditional way to search. However, there is another method that can be faster in some contexts. If you want to search in the first column of the list (the leftmost column) and you know the first letters of the text you want to search for, you can type the text directly without opening a search box.

In MultiMailer, the first column usually contains email addresses, so if you type the first letters of the email address, MultiMailer automatically jumps to that row and selects it.

Example
Suppose you want to quickly jump to the email address ann.karlsson@samlogic.com in a list with email addresses:

. . .
anita.andersson@abc.se
ann.karlsson@samlogic.com
anna.svensson@blommor.se
. . .

Then you just need to type the first letters of the email address, for example A N N, and that row will be highlighted. (You don’t need to press Enter, just type the letters.)

Works also in Visual Installer
The technique described above also works in Visual Installer. There it can for example be used to quickly find a specific file in the installation packages file list. You only need to enter the first letters of the filename, and you will have the row with the file selected in the file list.

It is possible to use a Google email server as a email delivery server when sending emails with MultiMailer. If you have a Gmail account or a Google Workspace account, you can have MultiMailer interact with these accounts and send emails with your Google account’s email address as a sender address.

There is a limit on how many emails you can send per day in this way. The limit depends on the type of Google account. But for smaller mailing quantities, this server solution works great. However, if you want to send larger quantities of emails, another server is required; for example MultiMailer’s built-in server.

Email bounces are also handled
It is possible to set up your Google account so that email bounces are automatically forwarded to MultiMailer. So the bounces will be displayed as usual in the Bounces tab in MultiMailer, in the same way as when MultiMailer’s built-in server is used for mailing.
