- Click on the "Compose" button to start a new email.

- Click on the "Edit" button next to the label you just created.
- In the "Edit label" window, click on the "Add to label" button.
- Enter the email addresses of the recipients, separated by commas, and click "Add".
Method 3: Using a Third-Party Extension
There are several third-party extensions available that allow you to create mailing groups in Gmail. One popular option is "Group Mail" by Google. To install this extension:
- Go to the Chrome Web Store and search for "Group Mail".
- Click on the "Add to Chrome" button to install the extension.
- Once installed, click on the "Group Mail" icon in the top right corner of your Gmail window.
- Click on the "Create group" button to create a new group.
- Enter a name for your group and click "Create".
- Enter the email addresses of the recipients, separated by commas, and click "Add".
Using a Mailing Group
Once you've created a mailing group, you can use it to send emails to all the recipients in the group. To do this:
- Log in to your Gmail account.
- Click on the "Compose" button to start a new email.
- In the "To" field, type the name of the group you created, followed by a colon.
- Gmail will automatically populate the "To" field with the email addresses of the recipients in the group.
- Enter your email message and click "Send".
Note: When you send an email to a mailing group, the recipients will see the email address of the group in the "From" field, rather than your individual email address.
