Mailbox Doc full-feature instructions
An Email-to-Mail Mailbox Doc offers many more printing and delivery options than the Quickletter (above). A Mailbox Doc can be printed in color, on colored paper, has different addressing options, and can be delivered by First-Class Mail OR Priority Mail, or Certified Mail.
Pricing of full-feature lettersPricing of full-feature letters varies according to the options you choose. The "Cost Estimate" button will appear in step 3 of the "Setup" (below) as you choose your options for the mailpiece you are defining.
1. Sign into your account or register for a new account. Go to the "My Account" page, click "Email-to-Mail" from the left-hand menu.
2. Under "Approved Senders" (fig 3) add one or more email addresses from which you will be sending your Email-to-Mail messages. Only messages from those email addresses will be processed. If you choose to include the email address associated with your Click2Mail account, you must re-enter it here.
3. Under "Mailboxes", select "Create a new Mailbox".
This is where you select the set of options you want to use for one specific mailing. (You can add as many mailboxes [each with its own set of options] as you like.)
A Mailbox Doc can include options regarding the layout, production time, envelopes, print and paper colors, one or two-sided printing, number of pages, mail classes, and so on.
The first box on the "Create a new Mailbox" screen (fig 4) is the Mailbox name.
For example, you might want to set up one mailbox for sending a full color letter, delivered by Priority Mail and name it "color-priority". And a second mailbox for sending a black and white letter, on canary yellow paper, delivered by First-Class Mail named "bw-yellow-first-class".
When you're ready to send that "color-priority" mailpiece, you'll send an email with the attachment you want printed from one of your "Approved Sender" accounts to "[email protected]". Where "color-priority" is the Mailbox name.
"Mailbox description" (fig 5) Use this optional field to describe mailbox option details. The description is for your use only and will appear after the Mailbox name on the Email-to-Mail page.
"Confirmation required" (Recommended for testing purposes only) Use this optional flag the first time you send a letter to test that it is rendered as you intended. It will be left in "Pending Proof Acceptance" status in "My Projects" until you view the proof and submit the job. You can turn off confirmation once you are satisfied with the options.
"Application Signature" Use this optional field to identify the source of the mailing and to track mailing volume for each mailbox.
