The Location of AMSSE Data and Data Backup Suggestion

AMSSE data Location

The location of Auto Mail Sender Standard Edition data as below:

For Windows 2000/XP/2003-:
X:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Application Data\TSSI\AMS

For Windows Vista/7/8+:
X:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\TSSI\AMS

X: = system drive.
UserName – please replace it with the actual user name.

Backup Suggestion

We suggest you back up AMSSE data by click ‘File -> Export Data…’ menu item regularly to avoid the loss due to system failures, do it monthly.

Tips

You can click ‘File -> Import Data…’ menu item to restore data from the backup one.

Increase the Speed of Importing Recipients from Files

Though our emarketing software support importing recipients from files (txt, csv, xls and xlsx), but we recommend you to prefer the .txt or .csv files. Because importing a plain .txt or .csv file is very fast, .xls(x) is slower due to this needs to connect to the Excel application, and do the data format converting.

Specially, if a file contains thousands recipients, the difference is obvious.

So, if your contacts are stored in the Excel document, please save it as .txt or .csv file first, and then import them to our email and emailing software.

How to use the database contacts?

Premise
If your contacts are stored in the database (such as Oracle, MS SQL Server, MySQL, Access, etc.) and you want to use them in our email and emarketing software.

Method
You can export the necessary information of the contacts to the .csv/.txt/.xls(x) file by your way, and then use the outputted contacts file in our products, all our email and emailing products support csv/txt/xls(x) files.
