I have been managing my mailing list for my bi-monthly newsletter using an Excel Spreadsheet exporting to Word to do all the mail merging to lables and envolopes. I desided to give My Mail List a try. I am so pleased with the purchase I am going to upgrade to the Deluxe and try my hand at bulking mailing! I definitly recommend this to folks that want a easy program that manages your data and allows you to merge to letters, lables etc all inside one program. Two thumbs up for sure!

For those of you who want to use a "User Friendly" program, I highly recommend that you DO NOT purchase this program. I found it to be very difficult to use and no technical support, unless of course you want to pay for it. This review comes from someone who is an IT Administrator, not just an amateur.

I have not seen or used a lot of other Windows-based programs of this nature, but this one is easy to use out-of-the-box for the average user. The only thing that I have come across that is somewhat difficult is the creation and modification of print templates, which is only necessary if you want a different print format than any of the many templates provided. To get a columnar listing of your mailing list data you probably will want to create your own template. The software author should make this process simpler and bug free (template creation and modification currently has a few bugs, which can be worked around if you have the patience). This opinion is also from an IT administrator. I have no idea why an IT person would find this program difficult to use.

What should be an easy to operate machine is nothing more than a giant nightmare. It's next to impossible to move data from an existing address label list to its program, the labels jam and peal off when they get a hair to do so, etc.

So mine is sitting on the floor in my office taking up space. I have never successfully used it. Save your money. It's easier to address envelopes by hand.
