Creating a group
A group, sometimes known as a distribution list, is a collection of email addresses. Using a group you can send the same email to several people at the same time. This is useful if you need to send mail to the members of a club or a particular group of friends.
To create a new group:
- Open your address book by clicking the Address Book tab.
- Click the New Group button.
- In the Group Name box type a name for the group. This should be something that will be easily recognised. For example if it is for Music Club members then you could call it Music Club
- Select the contacts you wish
to add to the group by clicking the check box to the left of the contact's
name.
- Click the Add button to add
them to the group.
If you make a mistake or wish to remove contacts, select them in the Add to Group box and click the Remove button.
- You can add addresses of
people not in your contacts list by typing them in the Additional
Email Addresses box. Type a comma between each
separate email address.
- When complete click the OK button.
If you now click the Groups icon in the left-hand panel of your address book you will see the group you have created added to the Groups table.
