How to create mailing list in gmail app
Creating a mailing list in the Gmail app is a bit tricky, but I'll guide you through the process. Since Gmail doesn't have a built-in feature to create mailing lists, we'll use a workaround using labels and filters. Here's how:
Step 1: Create a label
- Open the Gmail app and go to the "Labels" tab.
- Tap the "+" icon to create a new label.
- Enter a name for your mailing list, e.g., "Marketing Team" or "Friends".
- Tap "Create" to save the label.
Step 2: Create a filter
- Go to the "Filters and Blocked Addresses" tab.
- Tap the "Create a new filter" button.
- In the "From" field, enter the email address of the person you want to add to the mailing list.
- Tap "Create filter" to apply the filter.
Step 3: Apply the label to the filter
- In the "Create filter" window, scroll down to the "Apply the label" section.
- Select the label you created in Step 1 (e.g., "Marketing Team" or "Friends").
- Tap "Create filter" to apply the label to the filter.
Step 4: Add more email addresses to the mailing list
- Repeat Steps 2 and 3 for each email address you want to add to the mailing list.
Step 5: Send emails to the mailing list
- When you want to send an email to the mailing list, compose a new message.
- In the "To" field, start typing the label name (e.g., "Marketing Team" or "Friends").
- Gmail will suggest the label as an option. Tap on it to select the label.
- The email will be sent to all email addresses associated with that label.
Tips:
- You can also use this method to create a mailing list for a specific topic or project by using a unique label name.
- To remove an email address from the mailing list, simply delete the filter or label associated with that email address.
- Keep in mind that this method is not as efficient as using a dedicated email marketing tool, but it's a simple workaround for small mailing lists.
