for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad (Universal App) - requires iOS 4.2 or better.
Download Mailer from the iTunes App Store.
Thus, Mailer replaces a vCard Mailer App, a Group Mail App, a HTML Mail App, an Attachment Mail App, a Clipboard Mail App and much more - five mail apps in one.
Templates can contain placeholders. From the template, Mailer quickly generates emails to either a single person or people from a distribution list. When generating the email, Mailer replaces each placeholder with the corresponding data. Examples include
NOTE: You can try out all features of Mailer with the (free) lite version of Mailer. It is fully functional, however it will show a message at the bottom of each generated email. This full version will not show this message! Download Mailer Lite from the iTunes App Store.
With Mailer you can create an email template containing certain placeholders (e.g., for the recipient's name). You then create a list of recipients. Then, for each recipient Mailer replaces the placeholder by the corresponding value from the recipient's address book entry and generate a personalized mail for each recipient.
Placeholders for Recipient's Address Book Data: For each recipient, Mailer takes the template and replaces any of the Mailer placeholders by the corresponding value from the recipient's Address Book entry. Note: You do not have to enter these placeholders by hand; you can pick them from a list.
Styled Text (HTML) Templates: Templates can be HTML and the mail generated can be sent as HTML mail. The template editor provides a picker list for easy entry of the most common HTML tags, like bold or italic text, etc.
Organizing Templates: You can organize your templates in groups. To create a group or edit names or order of group tap the 'Group' button in the template list. Note: A group can be deleted only if it is empty. When editing a list view with sections it may happen that a row cannot be moved beyond the last row. As a workaround, you can add a dummy row to the end of your list.
Attachments: Mailer supports sending attachments (only for templates with user defined SMTP accounts). Attachments are managed in Mailer's Documents storage. You add documents to be used as attachments via "Open in..." (from another app), via direct download or via iTunes file sharing. Direct download can also be used to extract files from DropBox: Create a DropBox link in DropBox, switch to Mailer, select Add Attachment and press "Download".
Send Queue and SMTP Accounts: A template can be set to use a specific SMTP account. In this case mails are sent without user interaction (quickly). On multitasking-aware devices the send queue is processed in the background. Note: If sending has failed, you can retry by tapping "Send" in the send queue view.
Note: Mailer can use Contact groups. To manage those groups use Address Book on your Mac and sync via iTunes or use apps like "Contact Grouper".
