Is there a way to send an email from SharePoint by using the email addresses from a sharepoint list.
Something like sending one email to all client from a specific list and putting the addresses in the BCC field of the email.
All that in a single button that I could place in the sharepoint list header.
You could develop something like that using a custom action, but you should be familiar with SharePoint development

I'm building an Outlook add-in and I'd like to send an email from the add-in itself,
Is it possible with office-js?
My goal is to allow the users select a person from a list on the add-in, when selected I want to send an email to that person, by click.
I can see that it has MessageCompose interface but it seems it allows only to edit the content of the email.

I know that Yesware have an Outlook add-in that sends an email by click and I'm trying to accomplish something similar.
Thank you
You cannot send mail directly from Outlook Add-in as Outlook doesn't provide this permission. The maximum you can edit the mail content and mail have to be triggered by the User itself.
If you want to send Mail then you have to implement Mail sending service or better use API's of popular providers like MailChimp or Sendgrid

Is there a method of embedding SharePoint to accept and send emails
I have a SharePoint website but the clients that i have are not fond of using this to communicate with the development team, but rather they would like to use emails, is there any method that i could use in order for me to allow the client team to use emails as a method of communication to the site and then i reply on the share point site and they get the email,
I think SharePoint Site Mailboxes could assist with this requirement. The White Paper will assist with your understanding of Site Mailboxes, their benefit and limitations. The easiest way to test them out is to sign up for an Office 365 Trial (as all the configuration has been performed for you).
Hope it helps.
Note: I'm directly connected with OnePlaceMail who is mentioned in the White Paper.
You could do this with two different features:
from e-mail to SharePoint: enable inbound e-mail in the list, and make sure you have the correct columns the e-mail will populate (for example the e-mail body will go in the Body column)
from SharePoint to e-mail: you can either used an "Assigned To" field (the assignee will receive the notification) or subscribe your users to alerts
I am using PHPmailer to send emails (newsletters) one by one to around 1000 contacts. The problem is that my web host provider blacklists my account and insists that I use a mailing list (containing all contacts) instead of sending out emails one by one.
AFAIK the problem with mailing lists is that the emails sent is the same for everyone, which prevents you from personalizing each message. Aside from not being able to include personal info such as the contact's name and product preferences, you also cannot include a contact's unique id, which you use for unsubscribing and for tracking responses to links/offers/ads.
So my question is, what is the industry standard/accepted way/pattern of sending bulk emails? Is it by sending out individually, or by using mailing list? If it's the latter, can you customize the email for each person in the mailing list?
Up to this point, I can only run PHPmailer from my web host provider and chose not to use third-party services such as MailChimp.
Thanks
In my sharepoint site I have a document library with a workflow attached to it.Once any user upload a new document workflow is started and the document is send to approver for approval along with this an email has been sent to the approver for new document pending for approval. Now then email is sent from the mail server I have configured in sharepoint. it works fine. Now my question is I want to send the email to the approver from users email ID so that the approver should know from whome the request is come from.
Can any one help me how can I configure mail server so that the outgoing emailing should be done from users email ID.

You will need to set up a custom workflow with a custom activity to send the email rather than using the out of box approval workflow. This is one of those cases where a small change from the normal SharePoint way of doing things means a lot of extra work - the sort of problem I usually solve by telling the client it can't be done or is very expensive.
As an alternative, just including the requesting user name in the body of the email would be a lot easier and may be close enough to meeting the actual requirement.
You have write an event handler for the document library. You will have to send the approval mail using this event handler instead of thw workflow.
This post has some info abut event handlers in MOSS 2007
