Creating a mail list in gmail

Creating a mailing list in Gmail can be a bit tricky, but it's doable. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you create a mailing list in Gmail:

Method 1: Using Gmail's built-in feature

  1. Log in to your Gmail account.
  2. Click on the gear icon in the upper right corner and select "See all settings."
  3. Scroll down to the "Filters and Blocked Addresses" tab.
  4. Click on the "Create a new filter" button.
  5. Enter the email addresses you want to add to your mailing list in the "To" field. You can separate them with commas or use the "Add to list" button to add each address individually.
  6. Click on the "Create filter" button.
  7. In the "Apply the label" dropdown menu, select "New label" and give your mailing list a name (e.g., "Mailing List").
  8. Click on the "Create" button.

Method 2: Using a third-party add-on

  1. Install a third-party add-on like "Mailing List Manager" or "Email List Manager" from the Google Workspace Marketplace.
  2. Follow the add-on's instructions to create a new mailing list.
  3. Add the email addresses you want to include in your mailing list to the add-on's interface.
  4. Configure the add-on's settings as needed (e.g., set the list name, add a description, etc.).

Method 3: Using a Gmail label and a script

  1. Create a new label in Gmail by following the same steps as in Method 1.
  2. Install a script like "Gmail Label Manager" or "Gmail Script" from the Google Workspace Marketplace.
  3. Configure the script to automatically add new emails to your mailing list label.
  4. Use the script's interface to add the email addresses you want to include in your mailing list.
