How do I send email to multiple users individually?

[Guest]

Hello, I would like to send email to multiple users from my contacts within
Outlook, but would like that only the recipient name shows for that
particular recipient.

In other words, if I was sending an email to Bob, Mary, and Tom, I would
only want them to see their email address in the TO line not the other people
that it was sent to.

Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
JoTom

That requires a mail merge to electronic mail. Outlook uses Word for
performing mail merge functions such as Form Letters, mailing labels,
envelopes, and fax or email merges. For an overview of these functions take
a look here:

If you don't want to customize the body of the email for each person you are
sending it to then simply add all the recipients to the BCC (Blind Carbon
Copy) field instead of the To field.

Other than adding the recipients to the Bcc field, is there a way to keep a
Distribution List private so the recipients only see the name of the
distribution list or their own name but not the names of the other recipients

Only via a Mail Merge as Russ has suggested. That will send individual
emails.
You might find online services that will create mailing lists outside of
Outlook and do that.

I found one add-on for Outlook, though it appears to be quite
expensive... $49.95

I havent tried it yet, as I wanted to see if there is something
cheaper. But, who knows?
