Mail Merge is not blocked in our "bMail" domain. But you do need a file to work from. You cannot create one in our domain. There are several different kinds of already built Merge worksheets available on line. I'll send Devin one he can fill in with his names and addresses and so forth that should work for his purpose. But anybody can find an already built one to suit their purpose.

Note that the worksheet must be loaded in your Google Drive. It should be owned by the email account being used to send email, or at least shared with edit rights. And avoid sending so many emails at one time that your account gets throttled back.

I use an inexpensive Outlook add-on called "Easy Mail Merge for Outlook" that does a good job and is easy to use. You can also use a Google script that can send out a customized mass mailing based on a template. It is pretty easy, actually but there is a hard limit (by Google) of 500 emails via script per day (I think).

    Hello,

    I'm attempting to find a solution to emailing a large list of
    individuals (applicants to a program) with individual emails. I'm
    trying to avoid a mail template service such as mail chimp or the
    such.

    I've been exploring mail merge solutions in google apps, but those
    appear to be blocked by bmail. Does any know of or have experience
    or resources for a method or application that can send unique
    emails - addressed to each individual - en mass?

    Many thanks,
    Devin
