After you have put all the information required into your address book (either by entering the data directly or importing from another application such as Outlook Express) you simply select the positions in the main body of the email text where you want the personalized information to be automatically inserted.

For example, if you are sending out Christmas cards to one hundred or so of your friends and relatives, you could create one standard design and message, and then automatically insert the names, style of greeting (Hi, Dear, Hello, My darling etc), special message or any other information you want to use.

You can create your address books either by entering the data directly from the keyboard into Mail Magic Personal, or by importing data from other applications. If you are using Outlook Express or some similar mail software that allows you to export your email address book data, then you can easily import the address book into Mail Magic Personal and use it without having to reenter the same data all over again.

You can also import data created by other software such as word processors or spreadsheets. Mail Magic Personal can import either comma separated (csv) or tab separated data files.

You can enter and edit data in the address book, as well as sort and filter the data to pick up only those people you want to send to. You can also check for duplicate mail addresses and invalid mail addresses (e.g. addresses that don't contain "@").
