How to Manage Email Lists in Address Book

The Address Book provides a convenient place to store contact information. With G-Lock EasyMail Address Book, you have a place to store email addresses, home and work addresses, phone and fax numbers, digital IDs, conferencing information, instant messaging addresses, and personal information such as birthdays or anniversaries.

You can create groups of contacts to make it easy to send email to a set of people, such as business associates, relatives, or friends. Any time you want to send email to everyone in the group, just use the group name instead of entering each contact individually. Creating groups is also a good way to organize a large Address Book.

With the Load option in G-Lock EasyMail Address Book you can have the email lists containing a great number of email addresses imported into the address book in seconds.

The Import Wizard allows you import your mailing list from Paradox, DBase, Text, HTML, MS Excel, MS Word, Lotus 1-2-3, QuattroPro, XML, MS Access Database, ADO connection, DBISAM table, and Clarion table files. There is also the Export Wizard for exporting contact information to the files of different formats. 

Connect Directly to the Database without Export-Import

Here you can add the masks to exclude some email/domain addresses from the email campaign or from loading them into the program. A mask can contain a whole string as well as wildcards. Wildcards are asterisks (*) or question marks (?). An asterisk matches any number of characters. A question mark matches a single arbitrary character.
