Mail For Business Using .Net(WPF)

Hii everyone, Here I introduce Mailer for Business, a Windows-only application made for small businesses to send custom emails and marketing messages. It allows you to create a custom body for each mail sender.

Don’t ask me why I chose .NET I just wanted to learn .NET with WPF! So, I did this project. I faced issues along the way, but the community behind it is wonderful (I’ll attach the Discord link).

The main focus of this project is small businesses. They might use email providers like Gmail, ZohoMail, etc., but those providers don’t offer additional features like this (and even if they do, you have to pay extra). Since these providers give access to SMTP details, we can use that to easily build and send emails with this tool.

This project took me two months to complete, as I worked on it part-time due to my college commitments. The technical aspect of the project leverages the SMTP connection, which is already supported in .NET. For the user interface, I used the WPF framework and primarily designed it using XML with hard-coded elements, avoiding the drag-and-drop feature. Since I’ve previously worked with Android, creating a UI in XML was not challenging.

The application can load Excel and CSV files, converting them into a tabular model during processing. Before starting, users need to configure their SMTP details, which is required for sending emails. I’ve included a detailed guide on GitBook, complete with articles and videos, to assist users with setting up SMTP information for various providers.

Once the email is verified, users can proceed with the application. In the settings, they can select the column containing email addresses and specify which columns to display in the email body. Apart from the email column, all other columns can be inserted as parameters. The application includes a live preview feature, allowing users to see how the email will appear before sending it.

I’ve also included prebuilt templates that users can select from, making it easier to design professional emails. In the future, I plan to add an option to import custom templates, potentially turning it into a marketplace for template sharing. However, it’s important to note that emails have limitations on HTML and CSS design. they must follow specific rules, such as being a single file with inline styles.

The prebuilt templates support customization, allowing users to add their business name and logo. Additionally, emails sent using the application will never include watermarks, making it suitable for business purposes. The project is completely open source.

To enhance usability, I’ve added a status bar that tracks the email delivery status, including counts for sent, failed, and pending emails. This feature makes it easier to monitor large-scale email campaigns. There is also an adjustable delay between sending emails, which can be configured in the settings to meet different requirements.
