CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

My community band is planning to start using CiviCRM. Our conductor would like to be able to email all the members directly from his mail client. He compared this to a MailChimp feature called the "Email Beamer" which they describe like this:

"Every list in MailChimp has a private email address. You can send a message to that private address using Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail, or even your iPhone or iPad, and we’ll automatically forward it as an email campaign to your list."

Is it possible to do something like this with CiviCRM?

Thanks!
