Email Photos to Clients

What problem do you see this solving?

As a longtime Lightroom user for my event-sports shooting, I'm used to being able to Export photos to email, rather than exporting to a folder first, then switching to Finder to email them. If I use "Open With" in Export, it makes a new email for each photo, which is silly because I often send up to 7 high-res jpegs per email, or 20 or so low-res.

If you want to add this, and make it even better than LR, you can add the option to split it into multiple emails as-needed for large orders. For example: If I send photos to a gmail account, I need to keep each email under 25mb total. So in LR for an order of 20 high-res images, I need to select a batch of 5-7 and export them to an email, then do the next batch.

When was the last time you were affected by this lack of functionality, or specific tool?

This is something I do constantly for my business in Lightroom. I upload proofs to my website, people order the shots they want, and I pull them up in LR and email them to them. I do that far more than prints these days.

Current workaround

Are you using any workarounds or other solutions to achieve your goals in Capture One?

I'm new to Capture One, so still looking for workarounds, but in the few orders I've done so far, I've Exported to a folder, then gone into Finder to finish the job.

    In other words, another limited feature; Windows users would prefer to put focus on parts of application, that would be shared, otherwise we would approach the point, where it would be hard to advertise features in a paid application, that only a fraction of buyers would be allowed to use.

    Lightroom doesn't need to do ANY of this. It sends it all to (on Mac) Apple Mail, which handles all of the email technicalities. I'm not asking for Capture One to implement a built-in email app - that would be stupid.

    Downvoted, as in my feeling this is a problematic feature in the sense that Capture One will have to maintain a standalone mail client internally, which means making decisions like what features should be still preserved out of almost everything to be removed from a standard mail client, possibly including limiting mail servers that could be used with Capture One in the first place just to make configuration simpler, and then this feature could break forever for permanent license users simply because of things like server-side TLS deprecations.

    Let's focus on photo editing/management features, please.
