Some of my readers are familiar with my post on GMail Folders<\/a> that shows a workaround for the seemingly absent email folders that abound in other software.<\/p>\n

I thought I would also post on how to create mailing lists (or mailing groups) in GMail. A mailing list is handy because you can specify a list in your message and the message will be sent to all the contacts in the group.<\/p>\n

Create your mailing list or group<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Open up each contact you want in the group and click “Edit contact information”.<\/li>\n
  2. Add the name of the group (e.g. “family”) in the “Notes” field and press “Save”.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Use your mailing list or group<\/h3>\n
      \n
    1. Go to your Contacts page and search for the name of your group. This should bring up all those with the group name in their notes.<\/li>\n
    2. Click on the “All” link near the bottom of the page<\/li>\n
    3. Click the “Compose” button<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Voil\u00c3\u00a0! A new email with all the contacts in your group.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
