Thx for taking the time to reply Bill, Well, There certainly are a lot of options. The mere thought says "learning curve, learning curve"! Actually, I forwarded the applicants from an email account bcs there were too many confusing emails. & gmail combines everyone from 1 subject into a long conversation. Also, I don't know when you reply if its to everyone or 1 person. I'm just trying to simplify my life.
In my rush against nature, I finally just went into each email & copied the email address into excel with a coma & then copied the colum into compose. Yes, used bcc. But, when I checked sent, it didn't seem to send. So I gave up & did the same thing in google & they went out.
But what I'd like to do, is upon receiving the applications, just press a button so the email becomes part of a group & then compose emails, attachments etc & send them out to the group. Can that happen?
So now I have even more questions.
1. When I copy the addresses into the to: line, how do I make it go out? What did I do wrong?
2. Is there a more efficient way of doing this that doesn't involve a huge learning curve?
If I sound like I'm in overwhelm, it might be bcs its true. I'm doing a remodel on my house. The Contractor left in the middle of an electrical upgrade. I'm trying to hire a reasonably priced electrician, the Divas of the trade. I copy an email invite & attach scope of work, directions to my house & sometimes a third attachment.
To answer your questions. I have WiFi from Time Warner for which I pay far too much & that is supposed to be fast, but doesn't crash as often as most.
I don't know how to use outlook but I think I used to know. But is it more efficient to transfer email info from the applications to OUtlook? That's the time consuming part.Also, once I forward the email, which is the application, then you can't use reply or it comes back to me. I have to go in & copy the email . That's a real paiin bcs some cute techi's now hide the email behind the name which has me pounding on the keys until I can figure out, well I haven't figured it out, actually, but do it enough times then the email shows up which which I can then copy.
At this time, my applications go via email from Craigslist to whatever email I give as contact. Right now its Gmail. But some go to yahoo, bcs that's my reply in CL. next time maybe fastmail, if I can find a more efficient method of using it. I'm a fan of 1 button transfer of info without too much brain taxing thought.
Email providers: I have emails at gmail, yahoo, Go Daddy, Fastmail & ones I never use with my web site provider: Your Host. Now that I've probably completely confused the issue, I'm open for suggestions. Thx everyone, in advance for input Puppy love from InventingJoy & Furry Folk
btw, If what I want, doesn't exist, how about someone writing the program. I'll buy it. Its cheaper than the hair I've been pulling out of my head & would certainly save a lot of time for business people.
PPS You know, I used to know a lot of ways of doing this efficiently but the technology keeps changing so fast that every time I have a project, I have to take a huge amount of time learning new procedures.Is it any wonder I'm in overwhelm? Am I alone in this predicament? Anyone else have this problem?
