Mail Merge

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Installed on Lion - hoping it will be final thing that convinces me to drop MS Entourage.

One problem: inserting fields to personalise an email for example {{FirstName}} only works if the addressee is in the TB Personal Address Book.

I am using the ability of Thunderbird to access the Mac OS X Address Book where all my contacts are stored.

Although I can use MailMerge to send emails to people in my Mac OS X Address Book, Mail Merge will not fill in the contents of variables for names in the Apple address book.

Have I made a mistake or is this a restriction?
Is there a bypass?

Thanks
