How to send bulk mailing using gmail

Sending bulk mail using Gmail can be a bit tricky, but it's doable. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you send bulk emails using Gmail:

Method 1: Using Gmail's built-in feature

  1. Log in to your Gmail account and go to the "Compose" window.
  2. Enter the recipient's email address in the "To" field. You can add multiple recipients by separating their email addresses with commas.
  3. Write your email message in the body of the email.
  4. Click on the "Send" button.

Gmail will automatically limit the number of recipients to 500. If you need to send more than 500 emails, you'll need to use a third-party service or a different method.

Method 2: Using a third-party service

There are several third-party services that allow you to send bulk emails using Gmail. Here are a few options:

  1. Mailchimp: Mailchimp is a popular email marketing service that allows you to send bulk emails using Gmail. You can sign up for a free account and create a campaign to send your emails.
  2. Sendlane: Sendlane is another email marketing service that allows you to send bulk emails using Gmail. You can sign up for a free trial and create a campaign to send your emails.
  3. Gmass: Gmass is a Gmail plugin that allows you to send bulk emails using Gmail. You can sign up for a free trial and create a campaign to send your emails.

Method 3: Using a script

If you're comfortable with coding, you can use a script to send bulk emails using Gmail. Here's an example of a Python script that uses the Gmail API to send bulk emails:

  1. Install the google-api-python-client library using pip: pip install google-api-python-client
  2. Create a new Python script and import the necessary libraries: import os; import base64; import email.mime.text; import google.auth; import googleapiclient.discovery
  3. Set up your Gmail account credentials using the google.auth library: `creds, project = google.auth.default(scopes=['https://mail.google.com/'])
  4. Create a Gmail API client using the googleapiclient.discovery library: service = googleapiclient.discovery.build('gmail', 'v1', credentials=creds)
  5. Define the recipients and email message using Python variables: recipients = ['[email protected]', '[email protected]',...]; message = 'Hello, this is a test email.'
  6. Use the service.users().messages().send method to send the email: service.users().messages().send(userId='me', body={'raw': base64.urlsafe_b64encode(email.mime.text.MIMEText(message, 'plain').as_string()).decode('utf-8')}).execute()

Remember to replace [email protected], [email protected], etc. with the actual email addresses of your recipients.
