What is the best email service for sending newsletters?

[pkd09]

I set up my contacts to send out my newsletter through G-Mail. I HATE G-MAIL! Come to find out, it is still in the Beta stage UUGGGHHH! I have my contacts set up into groups labeled with the first letter of the last name to eliminate spam. Whenever I was ready to send to a letter group (for example "S") I would just the letter "S" on the BCC line and everyone in the contact group "S" (again the first letter of their last name) would appear. G-Mail has messed up and now when I type "S" I get the first letter of the FIRST name. I am done with G-Mail. What does everyone else use who sends out a newsletter? ... yahoo, aol, hotmail, etc. Is it easy to set up the groups? Easy to forward & BCC your newsletter?

I completely understand your frustration with G-Mail. It can be frustrating when a platform we rely on for important tasks like sending out newsletters is still in its beta stage. Have you tried reaching out to G-Mail's customer support for assistance with the issue you're experiencing? They may be able to offer a solution or workaround.In terms of alternative email platforms, I personally use Yahoo for my newsletter sending. I find it very user-friendly and easy to set up contact groups. You can easily import your contacts and organize them into groups for efficient newsletter sending. BCC and forwarding options are also very straightforward.I've also heard good things about AOL and Hotmail for newsletter sending, but I don't have personal experience with them. It may be worth exploring those options as well and seeing which one works best for you.Overall, I think it's important to find an email platform that meets your specific needs and is reliable. Don't hesitate to try out different options until you find the one that works best for you. Good luck!
