Bulk Email Ex - Email Marketing Software

Heinz Tschabitscher

The Bottom Line

Bulk Email Ex is a simple bulk email application that can guide you through small mailing easily, but is not flexible or powerful enough for larger projects. Bulk Email Ex is no longer available.

Pros

  • Bulk Email Ex includes a WYSIWYG HTML editor
  • Internal SMTP sending engine
  • Some mail merging

Cons

  • Bulk Email Ex lacks database connectivity
  • Mail merging not flexible enough
  • No incoming mail processing

Description

  • Send emails in bulk through an internal SMTP engine or an external server with Bulk Email Ex.
  • Includes a WYSIWYG HTML message editor and can send multipart/alternative mailings.
  • Bulk Email Ex supports limited mail merging with email address, domain and recipient name.
  • Import addresses from comma-separated and plain text files, or enter them directly in Bulk Email Ex.
  • Filters duplicate and obviously misspelled addresses before sending.
  • Bulk Email Ex supports Windows 9x/ME/NT/2000/XP.

Guide Review - Bulk Email Ex 5.55 - Email Marketing Software

Bulk Email Ex greets you with a nice wizard which takes you through the processes of sending a message in bulk step by step.

Bulk Email Ex includes a recipient editor where you can enter email addresses directly, and a WYSIWYG HTML message editor, and Bulk Email Ex can distribute the messages relatively fast with its internal multi-threaded SMTP engine.

Unfortunately, Bulk Email Ex is not flexible and powerful enough for larger projects. Mail merging is limited to name and email address, and Bulk Email Ex can import only from text files with no option to connect to a database.

Message preview and better list management including incoming mail processing would be nice, too.
