New email address - how do I inform 100+ of a new email address?

grumpycrab

As has already been mentioned, when you have confirmed that your new email address is working, set up "forwarding" on your old email addresses to your new email. You will be surprised at
a. how long the old email addresses stay active and
b. how many people continue to use your old email

BT will forward the emails to the new account for 30 days.

When I am back at the person's computer, possibly this weekend, I will try to send out the individual emails.

Try batches of 10 or 20, but use BCC!

You've thanked every answer apart from the one that answered the question, you don't have to do it individually.

Most human beings have a wonderful capacity called initiative which comes into play when it's needed.

Some humans just like to snipe without adding anything useful.

Huh ? Whether it is cc or bcc it is still 100+emails

bsod

so is 100 individual emails, 100 has many factors. What's your point and where is your help?

Postulating about possible limits and what may happen if they are exceeded is far less useful than hard facts.

Let me explain - I send an email e.g.
To: bsod
Bcc: 100+recipients
Subject: How mail works
This is my new email address xxx@xxx
Regards Tavernman

Now my mail server get's 1 email from me, and I expect it to send that mail to 100+ people , their mail server software says hey he wants to send 100+ mails I guess he is spamming the world since he expects me to send it to all these folks.

I hope I have explained it enough for you

Let me explain,

Your scenario is lacking any facts pertaining to the OP or their email provider, it's pure speculation, has no alternative, and is therefore of no use to anyone, but it does give you the opportunity to pointlessly quote and snipe.

The OP has now probably been scared off using bcc, which is ridiculous.

If they happen to breach a provider recipient limit or send frequency, they'll get an error message, in which case they can split them up into groups and send them over a day or two, it's not rocket science.

As to how can I help Jo then you can do it from the command from powershell , but you need to read this http://www.howtogeek.com/120011/stupid-geek-tricks-how-to-send-email-from-the-command-line-in-windows-without-extra-software/ and then adapt it. eg iterate it for each of you contacts , or you could use perl to do similar , but it is a learning curve perhaps.
