Mailing group in gmail
In Gmail, a mailing group, also known as a distribution list or a mailing list, is a group of email addresses that can be used to send a single email to multiple recipients. Here's how to create and manage a mailing group in Gmail:
Creating a Mailing Group in Gmail:
- Log in to your Gmail account.
- Click on the gear icon in the upper right corner of the page and select "See all settings."
- Go to the "General" tab and scroll down to the "Send mail as" section.
- Click on the "Add another email address" button.
- Enter the name of your mailing group and the email address you want to use for the group (e.g., [groupname]@gmail.com).
- Click "Next" and then "Send verification."
- Check your email inbox for a verification email from Gmail. Click on the verification link to confirm your email address.
- Once verified, you can start using your mailing group to send emails to multiple recipients.
Adding Members to a Mailing Group:
- Log in to your Gmail account.
- Go to the "Contacts" tab.
- Click on the "New contact" button.
- Enter the email addresses of the people you want to add to your mailing group.
- Click "Save" to add the contacts to your mailing group.
- To add multiple contacts at once, you can import a CSV file or use the "Add multiple contacts" feature.
Sending Emails to a Mailing Group:
- Log in to your Gmail account.
- Compose a new email.
- In the "To" field, enter the email address of your mailing group (e.g., [groupname]@gmail.com).
- Add the subject and body of your email as usual.
- Click "Send" to send the email to all members of your mailing group.
Managing a Mailing Group:
- To edit the name or email address of your mailing group, go to the "Settings" page and click on the "General" tab.
- To add or remove members from your mailing group, go to the "Contacts" tab and edit the contact list.
- To change the email address of your mailing group, go to the "Settings" page and click on the "General" tab.
Note: Mailing groups in Gmail are not the same as Google Groups, which are a separate feature that allows you to create a group email address and manage discussions and files.
