How to Send an Email to All of My Address-Book Contacts
It is becoming increasingly common for email users to have hundreds or even thousands of email addresses in their contact list. They often send emails containing holiday greetings or important announcements to every person listed in their address book. Instead of checking off every entry in their address book each time they wish to send such messages, users can save time by using the group or category feature of their address book.

Tips & Warnings
It may be easier and less time-consuming to simply check all of the addresses in your contact list, instead of working with a group or category, if your address book contains only a few entries.
Keep in mind that some email clients have spam filters that prevent users from sending messages that have a very large number of recipients.
