One of the best features is next and that is the seamless integration of Address Book with recipient screen. You simply choose one of your contacts and all the details are populated into the label etc. If you don't use address book for your data, other choices available include Entourage, Eudora, Now up to date, Filemaker Pro, Excel or vCard format. Finally you get a preview screen allowing you to add very useful labels like "do not bend" for envelopes, etc., and the ability to add clipart pictures.
A few small issues weight on the program however -- as an example in the postcard assistant, one of the options is "birthday whishes," a simple error, but one which detracts from the overall quality. Also, the recipient window only allows one line for an address, so there maybe some issues if you are trying to send someone a letter if he or she has a long address.
Except for these small issues, the overall program is great. It integrates well with other applications and makes professional looking labels, envelopes or postcards. If you write a lot of letters, print labels or send a lot of postcards, then Mail Factory is an application to seriously consider if you are aiming to impress.
