Default Mail Merge 100 people in pairs

Good Morning, I was looking for a little help, I have a system in work whereby you "Match" with another colleague.

The data is presented to me in Column 1 being one email address, Column 2 being the next email address. I tried to concatenate the email addresses then use a mail merge to send to each "pair"

However this didn't work as it says MS Outlook doesn't recognize the emails with a semi colon in the middle.


Does anyone know a way around to send the same email to different pairs of people?

Thank you

If it helps, you could use E-Mail Merge Add-in to merge to e-mail with Column 1 as the Recipient and Column 2 as CC.
or you could use the rather more complex Merge Many To One in one to one mode (which emulates mail merge) and use your cocatenated fields separted with a semicolon and space as the recipient, and both addresses will go in the To field.

Ask your company IT support how you can do it without.

I have found the reason why is that it's not "digitally signed" are you able to help with that?

It's not cost effective to digitally sign an add-in that is essentially free to use, and which few outside the USA understand the value of donating to.
