Howzit guys,
So this past week a buddie of mine was saying how he needs help sending emails to people over a certain number and he is getting tire of copying from his access wars wars.... So it basically came down to him saying, look I want something that lets me select my database which is in access, then type an email click send, go to bed, wake up next day and all the emails have been sent.
So instead of of searching google to find something that could help, of finding how he could do that in outlook and setting it up for him I decided to take a learning curve and learn how to make my own mailer app (Plus I love learning to do my own stuff *still a student*). So I decided to put something together in java.
Anyway here is how it looks so far. Any HORRIFIC comments will be welcome. I am not looking for oh nice nice comments, be a bad ass but don't be a world class prick. I am looking for people who can help me channel my thinking from industry, and give judgement from their experience as that is something I am trying to build up on.
I will put the code on github in the next day or so, just putting up comments and cleaning it up.
P.S I did not test the database loading, however I do think it works. I am on mac and so no odbc drivers on this babe.

How it works
1. File -> Login -> Fill in email account details.
2. File -> Add Contact -> Fill in details -- You can add multiple accounts to send to.
3. Type in an email.
4. Click send
Step one and two are crucial for obvious reasons.
Thanks guys.
