Windows Live Mail Groups!
Windows Live Mail Groups, also known as Windows Live Groups, was a feature in Windows Live Mail that allowed users to create and manage email groups. A group was a collection of email addresses that could be used to send emails to multiple recipients at once. Here's a brief overview of how it worked:
Creating a Group
To create a group in Windows Live Mail, you would follow these steps:
- Open Windows Live Mail and click on the "Groups" button in the navigation pane.
- Click on "New Group" and enter a name for your group.
- Add the email addresses of the people you want to include in the group.
- You could also add a description and icon to your group.
Sending Emails to a Group
Once you've created a group, you could send emails to the entire group by addressing the email to the group name. For example, if you created a group called "Friends", you could send an email to "[email protected]" and it would be delivered to all the email addresses in the group.
Managing a Group
You could also manage your groups by:
- Editing the group's name, description, and icon
- Adding or removing members from the group
- Sending emails to the group
- Creating subgroups
Discontinuation of Windows Live Mail Groups
Unfortunately, Windows Live Mail Groups was discontinued by Microsoft in 2012, along with Windows Live Mail itself. The feature was replaced by Outlook.com Groups, which offers similar functionality but with more features and integration with other Microsoft services.
If you're looking for an alternative to Windows Live Mail Groups, you might consider using a third-party email client or service that offers group management features, such as Gmail Groups or Yahoo Groups.
