Have you found a way to do mass mailings in Group Edition?

[Heron]

I know Group Edition technically doesn't allow for mass emailings.  I'd sure like to figure out a way to do it even if it meant some work and bcc.  I am very new to SFand CRM in general.  Any thoughts would be appreciated very much.

Hello Heron,

I don't believe there is a way to do this but assuming you are a nonprofit organization, as in a 501c3, why are you using Group Edition? The Salesforce.com Foundation donates 10 licenses of the Enterprise Edition to any qualified nonprofit. Details and to apply - http://www.salesforcefoundation.org/product

With Enterprise, you can mass email all you like.

Hope that helps.

Cheers, Tucker

Thank you, yes I knew that and checked into it when we signed on with SF.  We are non-profit but have never done a 501c3.  I just recently came on a few months ago and it's been that way for years.  It's got to do with the way the org. started and I've just not gotten involved with it.

Thanks for the response.  At least I can pursue other methods now!
