Electronic mail, or most commonly known as email, has become the standard for sharing of information throughout the Internet. The email address is what you type into the ‘Recipient' area of a composed email in order to send it to that particular person. Many companies employ groups of individuals to uphold their email lists for various information and updates about the company. With the speedy growth rate of the Internet (about 2.2 billion email users around the world), it may be very difficult to determine which email addresses are taken or are valid. This information is essential to know if you are planning to market to possible new customers or want to clean up a subscribed email list.
There's always the usual method of contact list clean up. This requires downloading the contact list as a text file and then opening both text files next to one another. Then you start the process of looking through each list and searching for duplicates in the other list. This method is incredibly inefficient ...
... and a huge waste of your time.
Fortunately, a program is offerred at from www.hothotsoftware.com that permits for a huge comparison of email addresses. By going to the website and searching for ‘Email List Management' you will find a program to satisfy your specific need. After opening the software, you will find that it is written in a classic user interface so nearly anyone familiar with a computer can master the software. The software also operates entirely within a single window. This eliminates any possibility of getting lost within the program. The window of the program is divided into two primary sections. The left portion of the window has a box that can be populated with potential email addresses. These addresses can be anything that you wish to check the availability on. These addresses can be loaded en masse by loading text files of the email lists. The right section allows for input of any additional email addresses to compare in the search. These are entered in the same fashion as the first list. The program also has the power to sort the email lists in ascending or descending order. Beyond these abilities lie the true benefits of this software. The lists can be cleaned in a ‘basic' sense to confirm that all email addresses are correct. Then, any addresses that appear in list 1 can be omitted from list 2 and vice versa. Then, the lists can be cleaned further to remove any addresses that include certain characters. For example, entering ‘gmail' into the ‘omit containing' box would remove all email addresses related to gmail.com.
