I am using AWS SES to send out mails for campaign. I want to have some user interface where I can draft and send emails to subscribers. Currently I am using the Sendy for this. As sendy is in still development stage, it's not fit for me. Is there any alternative to sendy? Any service which can be integrated for AWS SES? Or can I use workmails for this?
Now Sendy is much more mature and have added some very useful features. Also, many of product features are stable now. You can give this a try, hosting it from EasySendy. You can also integrate Mandrill with Sendy at EasySendy.

Anybody knows if amazon email template (please check this link) http://d.pr/i/1d91T is auto generated or just separate images and links? I mean if they manually coded the template? I have a hundred of businesses and having this idea of doing somewhat like that. Or is there any other way that I could maybe create an email template that will auto populate the products when sending an email?
Campaign monitor offers a good solution and allows to design beautiful emails. But this kind of solution is not free, you can just evaluate by yourself.
I'm exploring the possibility of building a centrally hosted email client, embedded within my site. Users would be provisioned a new email address from me, they are not using their existing email. Essentially, I'm looking for the feature set of an email web client (multiple user accounts, get inbox messages, read, delete, compose new, organize, etc) exposed as set of RESTful APIs. A brief web search uncovered very little meeting my desires, but I did come across http://jmap.io. I was unable to find an existing implementation of the specification that I could leverage for my solution, and would love to avoid writing my own. Are there any existing solutions (JMAP or otherwise) that might meet my needs? I've ruled out https://context.io/ because I cannot have the emails stored or consumed by a third party.
I'm actively contributing to the Apache James Server. As part of my work, I am working on a JMAP implementation with my co-workers.
So far, we are able to build a working web-mail on top of it in one of our company product, OpenPaas.
And as it is an Apache project, it is OpenSource. Maybe you want to have a look...

I just want to add that as for now (2020) Cyrus IMAP also has JMAP support.
Stalwart JMAP server was just released (September 2022) and it includes full support for JMAP Core, JMAP Mail and JMAP over WebSocket. Support for JMAP Contacts and Calendar will be added as soon as these become IETF standards.
I'm getting started with Amazon Web Services and I have a few question I'm not sure about. As every (company) webpage I want to use an "office#companyname.com" email adress, but how is that done? I looked up at godaddy.com (for domain registration), the offer me an email adress like I want, but for 3 dollars per month.
Is this possible with AWS? Because at AWS you have just a complex domain which is not very userfriendly or serious.
Also I want to host my dynamic webpage on the amazon cloud, but I'm not sure if I'm doing that right. I've read many guides, and all I know is that I have to purchase a Elastic Compute Cloud, and a Simple Storage Service... and every guide is working with the basic linux package, why not Windows? Is it more expensive? I just want to host a mySQL Server for the dynamic webpage, which is reached over a normal domain.
And one last question, if I sign up for an AWS account it asks me for an email account. But I found it a little bit unserious to write there my free-webmailer-adress... How is it done the normal way?
Thanks in advance! Best regards, john.
You have a lot of non-specific non-technical questions, and you might be better served asking them on one of the Amazon forums (https://forums.aws.amazon.com/index.jspa?categoryID=1).
Based your implied lack of experience you might be better off starting with a shared hosting service like Godaddy. Amazon AWS adds a layer of technical complexity that you may not need for your situation...
That said, here are some general answers to you Amazon questions:
Amazon AWS provides generally comparable hosting services for both Windows and Linux.
Amazon Simple Email Service (SES) will send bulk email, but it will not receive email. To do that within the Amazon ecosystem you would need to run your on mail server(s).
What is a good way to store and run some reports on email analytics? Imagine this is a pretty high volume of emails sent, open, click stats broken down to email categories. This info has to be stored at some DB and we need to be able to slice the data in different ways to extract some valuable business information.
One way to do this would be in-house, build a new database and log and track every action. And later on built reports on top of it.
However, this is a lot of work and I was wondering if there's some cloud service that we can use to do this. Azure and Amazon offer cloud DB storage, I guess we can use them, but that means a lot of setup work as well. Not sure if there's a 3rd party email analytics in the cloud service.
Any recommendations on best way to tackle this problem?
Indeed, tracking your email links and analyzing the relevant is a lot of work. I recomend you use a third party application to take care of it.
Most email-as-a-service providers offer prety goood analytics, including things like opens, clicks, by location, time, etc...
It really depends on the provider, but I think you should take a look at some of the best known ones such as Sendgrid, Postmarkapp or Mailjet
Does anyone have all the steps required to configure incoming email settings in MOSS 2007 including exchange and AD configuration changes? I would also like the steps to configure doc lib to receive emails
Thanks,

There's a TechNet article that fully describes this.
Next time, you should post this question to serverfault.com for questions around server configuration and troubleshooting. You'll probably get better answers there :-)
