    Hi All

    I am wondering if someone might be able to help me. I have collated over 1000 email address in a MS Excel document and I am trying to send them a letter that I have created in a MS Word document via mail merge. I dont have outlook on my laptop and am wondering is it possible to set this up and send it through my gmail account?

    I am at the stage of pulling my hair out. Is it possible to set up without outlook? I thought I could just change my default email to my gmail account but this doesnt appear to be possible. I would really appreciate if someone could steer me in the right direction.

    Many thanks in advance.

    I would have thought that if you attempted to send 1000 emails through gmail in one hit they would be flagged as spam.

    Also as mentioned above check your email daily limit, I think it is 2000 otherwise your account will be blocked for a day
