1439513 2017-09-22 05:08:00 Is there a problem with the default Windows 10 Mail App. Driftwood (5551)
1439514 2017-09-22 05:37:00 It's just poop. Very hard to get data into/out of for people using POP, or migrating from other mail clients.

If you exclusively use Gmail/outlook.com it's ok. Anything more, nope.

1439516 2017-09-23 04:29:00 Several people have recommended using Thunderbird. I agree, but make sure Thunderbird is updated. I tried bringing gmail into version 36 - no dice. Updated to version 45 - still no luck. Got to version 53 and everything worked nicely. Jayess64 (8703)
1439517 2017-09-23 05:59:00 They don't want it !! BCC addresses into winlive to send a bulk email doesn't work too good either ! Getting there . cowboy stu (7021)
1439518 2017-09-23 08:48:00 What people have to remember is Thunderbird is Not WLM or visa versa, things are different.

The Bcc is not that hard. There's several ways , here's one.

Open a New Mail From the top, click on View - Contacts side bar - Select the people you want or groups you want, click Add to Bcc.

8300

DONE !

Note: this is thunderbird with a office 2003 theme -HATE the basic bland default :yuck:

If you are sending out mails to a same selection of people then make up a group.

1439519 2017-09-23 10:45:00 Got that wT.. I refer to same exercise in WLM.... had trouble sending many bcc out.. Is there a limit it will send at once. 10 went but 30 wouldn't
Entered manually too !!

1439520 2017-09-23 21:13:00 Took a bit of finding, But it appears WLM has a limit of 10 if using Bcc. Last post www.cnet.com Try sending from To: or Cc:

Better still Dump WLM, its had it time and now outdated. :)

Simple way to test it, Fire off the same amount of contacts using Bcc in Thunderbird, if they go then that would lead to WLM being the problem. I know ISP's can limit amounts. One place I did work for was really annoyed when they had to send out mails in bunches of 50, as Xtra blocked the 300 they were trying to send.
