If you need to send an email to more than one person on a frequent basis, rather than type each person's email address in the address line, you can save a lot of time by creating a Contact Group. With a Contact Group, you can email an entire group of people using one email address.
A Contact Group consists of a list of people along with their email addresses. The Contact Group is given a name and then can be added to the address line of an email by simply clicking the Contact Group name from your list.
Here is how to create a Contact Group:
1. Log into your Google Account.
2. Go to Google Contacts by clicking on the nine boxes at the top right corner of your screen.
3. Click Contacts.
You can also access your Contacts list by going to the address contacts.google.com after you have logged into your Google account.
4. At the left side of the screen under Labels, click Create label.
5. Type a name for this Label, then click Save.
Adding People to Your Contact Group:
Now that you have created a Contact Group, it's time to add some people to that list. Here's how to do it:
1. While still in Google Contacts, look at your list of Google Contacts. Check the boxes next to the contacts you want to add to a group label. The box will appear when you hover the cursor over a name.
2. After checking the boxes for each contact, at the top of the page, click Manage labels.
3. Select the label you want to add to this Group Contact.
4. Click Apply.
Note: Make sure that ALL of your contacts in the Contact Group list have a current email address next to their name. If you have any contacts in your Contact Group without an email address, the person without an email address will not be able to receive your emails.
