Send to a contact group
To send messages to contact groups, you first need to create a contact group. Once you're set up, there are two ways to address a message to your contact group:
From the Compose window
- Open Gmail.
- Click Compose.
- In the To: field, enter the first few letters of the name of the contact group to which you'd like to send the message.
- Select your contact group from the list of addresses the auto-complete feature suggests.
- Compose your message.
From the Contact Manager
- Open Gmail.
- Click Gmail at the top-left corner of your Gmail page, then choose Contacts.
- Select the group on the left side of the page.
- Click the checkbox above the contact list or select the individuals you'd like to send to.
- Click the Email button above the contacts list.
