Email client for gmail to send press releases?

Question

Email

Hello dear!
Tell me, please, do you know such a program with at least the minimum functionality from what I will now describe below. Or not a program (for Windows), but some kind of Internet service (such as mailing lists) with similar functionality.
So, there is a base of mailing addresses of the media - a white, legal base, collected in the course of the labor activity of a PR specialist, roughly speaking, contacts at work.
We go into the program line - we enter in the settings our login and password from mail to gmail.
Now further we create a contact card - we specify the postal address and the category to which the contact belongs. That is, for example, we create 10 contacts, of which 3 belong to the "automedia" category, 4 to the "IT-media" category, 2 to the "general media" category, 1 to the "
Now, next, click the "new letter" button, write a press release, and instead of the recipient's address, enter the name of the category (or put a tick in front of the items in the list of all categories). Let's send. That is, our press release can be quickly and conveniently sent to all recipients within a particular category. Something like that.
In general, the bottom line is that each time you send a press release, do not open a text file with email addresses and do not select the necessary contacts from there. And we just sort these contacts into categories in advance and after that we send a letter immediately to a group of contacts.
Thanks in advance for your tips! I can’t remember such software myself, although maybe The Bat can do it all? I'm not sure exactly, but I heard something about him. Or maybe it's possible through MailChimp?
Thank you!
Sincerely,
lumir

Answer 1

free software / services - no. I chose MailPoet for myself - a cool plugin for wordpress. Does what you need. Extended profiles still deliver so that the ala cards are up and running.

Answer 2

There is an Indian Email Studio plugin, but it's not free. I use it to send mail at a given time (in principle, it is better than all competitors and certainly beats them in price - 30 bucks a year versus 25 a month).
It has a Mail Merge function - as far as I understand, this is mailing according to the list, although I didn’t use it myself, but the name matches the Outlook Business Contact Manager (now deceased) function, which was engaged in just such mailings.
