Hello -
Important note: if you choose to rate this answer, please ask for any
clarification/information you may require before doing so. Thanks for
your understanding.
I have found three products that seem to do what you require.
Fairlogic Systems makes a $49 shareware software called "WorldCast®,"
and the company's website describes is thusly:
"Fairlogic WorldCast® is a free two-in-one newsletter software: A bulk
emailer and also an email address validator. It's perfect for
individuals or businesses sending out customized e-mail messages to
their customers, newsletters, business notices, internet marketing,
CRM and other essential information. WorldCast accepts an unlimited
number of projects, importing/exporting huge recipient lists (mailing
lists) from dBase tables, text and Comma Separated Values (CSV) files,
as well as address books from Outlook, Outlook Express, Eudora,
Netscape Messenger and Palm Desktop, providing easy (and extensive)
mail-merging features, using all fields of the database - Given a
certain emailing list, containing email, name and job, for instance,
the software generates a customized email to each recipient." -> see

Non-commercial usage is free, but is also slower than the $49 version.

A third company called Execute-It makes a $42.95 program called
GoMail, available here:

Another company called Covatron makes a $95 product called CovaContact
available here:
http://www.covatron.com
Although over twice the price of the others, this company stresses
ease-of-use right up front. The company describes the software as
such:
"CovaContact is an easy-to-use and powerful bulk email software
program for direct email marketing. CovaContact offers, in just one
software application, a complete range of tools for designing,
managing, and sending personalized HTML bulk email to your business
customers... CovaContact includes special features for users of
Microsoft® Outlook and Outlook Express. With these features,
CovaContact turns Outlook and Outlook express into powerful email list
management applications.
If you've ever worked with any sort of automated bulk process, such as
bulk faxing, bulk mailing, or bulk emailing, you've probably
discovered that you are always required to have customer lists of
names, number, addresses, etc. Different processes require lists to
be in different formats and require you to do complex and
time-consuming data manipulation to get your customer together. This
can be very hard. If you use Outlook or Outlook Express, you already
have your customers' names and email addresses. CovaContact can use
names and email addresses right from Outlook and Outlook Express with
no work required on your part. In fact, CovaContact turns Outlook and
Outlook Express into a power and easy to use customer email list
database." -> see more at link
