How to create a private mailing list in gmail

Creating a private mailing list in Gmail can be a bit tricky, but it's doable. Here are a few methods to achieve this:

Method 1: Using Gmail Labels

  1. Create a new label in Gmail by clicking on the "Labels" button in the left sidebar and then clicking on "New label".
  2. Name your label (e.g., "Private Mailing List").
  3. Create a new filter by clicking on the "Filters and Blocked Addresses" button in the left sidebar and then clicking on "Create a new filter".
  4. In the filter settings, enter the email addresses of the people you want to add to the mailing list in the "To" field.
  5. Apply the label to the filter by clicking on the "Apply the label" dropdown menu and selecting the label you created in step 1.
  6. Save the filter.

Now, when you send an email to the email addresses in the filter, it will automatically be labeled with the "Private Mailing List" label. You can then use this label to organize and manage your private mailing list.

Method 2: Using Gmail Groups

  1. Go to the Gmail settings by clicking on the gear icon in the top right corner of the Gmail page.
  2. Click on "See all settings" and then scroll down to the "General" tab.
  3. Click on the "Create a new group" button.
  4. Enter a name for your group (e.g., "Private Mailing List") and add the email addresses of the people you want to add to the group.
  5. Click on the "Create" button.

Now, when you send an email to the group, it will be sent to all the members of the group. You can also use the group to send emails to the members and track who has opened or replied to the email.

Method 3: Using a Third-Party Plugin

There are several third-party plugins available that can help you create a private mailing list in Gmail. Some popular options include:

These plugins can be installed from the Chrome Web Store or the Firefox Add-ons store.

Method 4: Using a Separate Email Account

If you have a separate email account (e.g., a business email account), you can create a private mailing list by adding the email addresses of the people you want to add to the list to the account's contact list. You can then use this account to send emails to the mailing list.

I hope these methods help you create a private mailing list in Gmail!
