How to Make an Email List in Mac Mail

Use Address Book to create an email list for Mail.

On the Mac, you can create an email list for Mail, but it is done in the Address Book program that comes with the operating system. Address Book is where you actually store all the email addresses of all of your contacts. There are no lists or contacts stored in the Mail program. When you compose an email, you open Address Book through the Mail program and select the recipients you want to contact. You can create multiple lists for different purposes that can be used with Mail.

Instructions

1. Open Address Book on your Mac.

2. Click on the "+" sign at the bottom of the sidebar under the "Group" list to create a new group, and type in a group name.

3. Click on "All Contacts" at the top of the group list to reveal all of your contacts.

4. Click and drag the names of each of your contacts into the new group you created in the sidebar at the left to add them to the group.

5. Open Mail and click on the "Address Book" icon at the top of the screen. This will open an Address Book window.

6. Click on the new group name in the left sidebar. A new email will be created and the names of the persons in the group will be in the "To" field. Compose your email and send it.
