Create gmail email distribution list
Here's a step-by-step guide to create a Gmail email distribution list:
Method 1: Using Gmail's Built-in Feature
- Log in to your Gmail account.
- Click on the gear icon () in the upper right corner and select "See all settings."
- Scroll down to the "General" tab and click on "Send mail on behalf of" at the bottom.
- Enter the email addresses of the people you want to add to the distribution list, separated by commas. For example:
[email protected], [email protected], [email protected]
. - Click "Save Changes."
Method 2: Using Gmail's "Cc" Field
- Log in to your Gmail account.
- Compose a new email.
- In the "To" field, enter the email address of the first person you want to add to the distribution list.
- In the "Cc" field, enter the email addresses of the other people you want to add to the distribution list, separated by commas. For example:
[email protected], [email protected]
. - Click "Send."
Method 3: Using a Third-Party Add-on
- Install a third-party add-on like "Gmail Distribution List" or "Email List Manager" from the Chrome Web Store.
- Follow the add-on's instructions to create a new distribution list.
- Add the email addresses of the people you want to add to the distribution list.
- Use the add-on to send emails to the distribution list.
Tips and Considerations
- When using Method 1, the email addresses you add will be visible to the recipients, as they will be sent an email with the "From" field set to your email address.
- When using Method 2, the email addresses you add will not be visible to the recipients, as they will be sent an email with the "From" field set to the original sender's email address.
- When using Method 3, the add-on may require you to create a new email address or use a specific format for the email addresses.
- Distribution lists can be useful for sending emails to a large group of people, but they can also be a security risk if not used carefully. Make sure to only add trusted email addresses to your distribution list.
