Currently $7.99 from Ashampoo, today's 'PhotoMailer 1.0.8' does indeed come with a caveat which the developer makes abundantly clear on its website:

https://www.ashampoo.com/en/usd/pde/0089/tools-and-utilities/photo-mailer

"Account Management:
Setting up existing email accounts takes just a name, email address and account password. Ashampoo Photo Mailer automatically recognizes different email providers and adds the required server settings."

As at least one poster here has already lamented the request for such information, the advice about always checking a producer's website before installing its product is as good as ever.

I've tried this software before and it performed exactly as Ashampoo said it would. Even more to the point: it lived up to its name -- a name which is not solely about image management but also about email management. The difference is considerable. It should be understood first, not criticized later.

Those who're interested in the management of their email accounts for the purpose of distributing images should take advantage of today's offer. By contrast, those who are interested in the management of images for the purpose of distribution via their email accounts should look elsewhere.

A wide variety of free and commercialware exists out there to do just that: take your pick. My long-time personal favorite is this always-free offering from Balesio:

It's simplicity itself to use: just drag 'n drop a selection of images into its GUI, select one of three 'compression settings' -- or devise a setting of your own, if you're so inclined -- and that's it. Job done: images whose file size (NOT dimensional size) collectively exceed an email provider's limit are now reduced to the point that they can be immediately winged off as attachments. Perceptible image quality loss will not be a problem: Balesio's 'Email' setting results in pictures perfectly acceptable for on-screen viewing, even at file size reductions of over 80%.

The foregoing is not to say that the Balesio approach to the management of email image attachments is superior to Ashampoo's. It isn't. The one is chalk, the other is cheese. But that difference means not needing to share email account passwords with any third party software, and for some that may matter greatly.
