How to create a bcc mailing list in gmail
To create a BCC (Blind Carbon Copy) mailing list in Gmail, you can use the "Contacts" feature and create a group of contacts that you can then use to send emails to multiple recipients without revealing their email addresses to each other. Here's how:
Step 1: Create a new contact group
- Log in to your Gmail account.
- Click on the "Contacts" icon in the top navigation bar.
- Click on the "Create new contact group" button.
- Enter a name for your group, such as "Marketing Team" or "Friends".
- Click on the "Create" button.
Step 2: Add contacts to the group
- Click on the "Contacts" icon in the top navigation bar.
- Click on the "Groups" tab.
- Find the group you created in Step 1 and click on it.
- Click on the "Add members" button.
- Enter the email addresses of the contacts you want to add to the group, one by one.
- Click on the "Add" button after each email address.
- Repeat this process until you've added all the contacts you want to the group.
Step 3: Create a BCC mailing list
- Compose a new email in Gmail.
- In the "To" field, enter the name of the contact group you created in Step 1, followed by a semicolon (;).
- For example, if your group is called "Marketing Team", enter "Marketing Team;" in the "To" field.
- Gmail will automatically expand the group name to include all the email addresses of the contacts in the group.
- In the "BCC" field, enter the email addresses of the contacts you want to send the email to, separated by commas.
- For example, if you want to send the email to all the contacts in the "Marketing Team" group, enter "[email protected], [email protected], [email protected]" in the "BCC" field.
- Click on the "Send" button to send the email.
Tips:
- When you send an email to a contact group, the recipients will not see each other's email addresses in the "To" field.
- You can also use the "BCC" field to send emails to multiple recipients without adding them to a contact group.
- To remove a contact from a group, go to the "Contacts" page, click on the "Groups" tab, find the group and click on the "Remove member" button next to the contact's email address.
