Jamail 3 - Screenshots

The following screenshots have been done with Jamail version 3.0165. Changes may appear in later versions of Jamail. Please also note our Tutorials in Macromedia Flash Format in GERMAN language, which will show you some crucial functions of Jamail.

Step 1 defines general Jamailing settings. Those can also be defined and saved within a profile.

Jamail learns the recipients of your Jamailing in step 2. The sample shows you an internal recipient list which can be saved as part of a project.

A click on Import file opens up a window where you first have to select an existing file.

After selecting a file, additional settings are shown to let you decide, what kind of import file you are using.
Here you can see the import of a CSV Text File (comma separated values).

If you've selected a Microsoft Excel file, you have to select the worksheet which contains your recipient data.

After selecting a worksheet you will see some lines of data found within that worksheet. You also may select a different worksheet.

No need to configure any settings while importing recipient data from Jamail 2, Jamail 3 or dBase files. The data format is already known to Jamail and can be used for import directly.

Alternatively to importing data from a separate file, you can connect Jamail to your favorite ODBC source like an Oracle, MS SQL Server or even an Access MDB file. By using our high speed ODBC connection you don't need to care for recipient lists stored in different places.

Step 3 lets you create your email body. Depending on the type of Jamailing (HTML, HTML & Plain Text, Plain Text only) you are creating, you have different tabsheets available for writing your email body. The screenshot shows you a number of variables placed in brackets which are replaced by the values defined in the recipient list while sending takes place. You can use these variables also as dynamic attachments.

To create the HTML body of a Jamailing you have several options available: First of all you can use the built in designer. It has all functions available which are useful for creating professional looking HTML pages. If you need more flexibility you can edit your email body in a WYSIWYG editor like dreamweaver, Net Objects Fusion or even Microsoft Word and copy and paste it into the HTML Editor. After creating the text you can add variables to be replaced at sending time.

You have finished creating your personal email. Before starting send process, Jamail informs you about your Jamailing and shows you warnings and writes down some technical information.

If Jamail finds an error within your Jamailing it shows you a note informing you about what needs to be changed or added. This will help you solving problems by your own.

After prechecking your Jamailing you can view all emails to be sent out by visiting Jamailing Preview. So you can easily decide, if the mailing satisfies your needs or if you need to make some changes before sending.
You also have the possibility to write out test emails or send emails to flagged recipients only.

While sending takes place, Jamail informs you about the status of your Jamailing. Additionally you can select if Jamail should shut down your PC after the transfer or if Jamail only should terminate after finishing.
You can even abort your Jamailing at any time.

After finishing Jamail can shut down your PC automatically. Before shutdown takes place a window is shown where you can abort the shutdown for about one minute.
