Outlook Express 6 warning message when sending mail merge from ACT! 6 1

[NeilAplin]

How do I turn off the Outlook Express 6 Warning message when sending a mail merge from ACT! 6? The problem is that it keeps asking the same question for every email, so I have to keep clicking 'Send'!

The message is 'A program is attempting to send the following e-mail message on your behalf: Would you like to send the message? Send, or Do not send

Thanks anyone who can answer this one.

This is a security function Microsoft added to Outlook Express... but it's so secure, this really easy to get past.

Have a look at

for their program ClickYes.

thanks Mike - brilliant! - Neil

Mike - it didn't work! - any other ideas?

 

[NeilAplin]

sorry Mike - messing you around! - found the answer in the read me file with ClickYes: ClickYes doesn't work with Outlook Express. There is an appropriate
option in the Outlook's Express settings. To turn the prompts off,
click 'Options' on the menu, switch to the 'Security' tab, and
clear the 'Warn me when other applications try to send mail as me'
checkbox.

That should sort it!

no worries - no more messages, and can leave the pc to get on by itself! - still seems a long process though as Outlook Express takes forever to send the bulk emails and keeps stopping. ACT! email only wants to send a batch of around 150-250 at a go.

By far the best option, if you want to do mass-emails from ACT! 6.0, is to use MergeMaster!:

thanks - do I also need MergeMaster! Pro 3.5.20 Patch?

 

[GLComputing]

Yup... it fixes a few minor things that didn't get added to the full build.

It'll do 15,000 at a go if you like... it can also use ACT! GMT, Word ADT and real HTML files as templates. Can include attachments and can set up Profiles for regular emails.
