e-Mail Merge - were they sent?

[MattOz]

I just completed what I thought was a successful merge-to-email in
Outlook.

Using the merge Wizard - I imported a mailing list, merged the records,
and then ran the merge after selecting 'merge to email'. It all seem to
go OK.

However it did not appear that the emails created by the merge process
were actually sent out i.e. physically emailed to people.

What would be stopping my emails getting sent out?
How can I tell if the emails were sent or not? (There is no sent
history or outbox records of them)

I am using POP3 via a Yahoo webmail account to send them. This has been
working fine with individual emails.

I don't know what is stopping the emails to be sent. However:

To verify if the merge succeded, just add your own email to the mailing
list. If you receive it, the rest of the recipients should as well. You may
also try a small merge with only two or three addresses (or the same address
three times for instance).

When you send emails, you're using the SMTP server from your Internet
Service Provider, not the POP from your email account...
