New Features in Total Access Emailer 2016 for Microsoft Access 2016

On the main screen, a new Email Validation button verifies the format of all the email addresses in the current email blast before you send it. It checks the Email field, and the Cc and Bcc if they reference fields. Any email addresses that do not meet standard email formats are listed:

Bad Email Addresses

In addition to or instead of attaching files to emails, those files can be saved to a folder on your PC. By referencing unique values in your data source (like contact ID or email address), you can create unique names or subfolders for each contacts’ files. The settings are on a new Save Files tab:

Save Files Tab for Email Blast Editor

When an email blast with Save File options is selected, an option is now available to save the files to the email blast's specified folder or a folder just for the preview.

Preview Email Blast with Save Files Options

A new function, TotalAccessEmailer_PreviewSaveFile, lets you preview an email blast with the Save File option. Specify the folder for the saved files in addition to the email address and number of records to process.

The Code Generator is now enhanced to support email blasts with the Save File option. If preview is selected, you can specify the folder to store the files. The options are also reorganized from the left to the top.

This feature was added when Total Access Emailer 2013 shipped, but prior versions of Total Access Emailer were not upgraded. It is now in the X.7 updates for Access 2010 and 2007.

Emails can be sent with SMTP settings using Transport Layer Security (TLS) Connection type. This is a more advanced cryptographic protocol beyond the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) predecessor. If you are using Office365.com as your email Exchange Server, TLS lets you use the smtp.office365.com SMTP server to send your emails.

If you are using an earlier version of Total Access Emailer, here are the enhancements added in earlier versions:

• Enhancements in Total Access Emailer 2013 for Microsoft Access 2013
• Enhancements in Total Access Emailer 2010 for Microsoft Access 2010
  • Features added to Access 2007 and earlier versions when Access 2010 was introduced (X.6 version): Version X.5 to X.6 Enhancements.
• Enhancements in Total Access Emailer 2007 for Microsoft Access 2007
  • Features added to Access 2003 and earlier versions when Access 2007 was introduced (X.5 version): Version X.0 to X.5 Enhancements.

All the enhancements are included in the Microsoft Access 2016 version and the X.7 updates for the 2013, 2010 and 2007 versions.
