Send mail to group

Having trouble in Snow sending mail to a group. No trouble before Snow, now groups won't go into "to" with new mail when clicked. Any ideas?

Thanks for your help with this. Doing as you suggested didn't work any differently, however it seems there isn't really a problem after all.
I'm a little embarrassed and sorry to have wasted your time.
I have created a dummy test group and done some experiments. It seems Apple have changed the way it works: Where before I could see a list of email addresses and edit them if I needed to, all I now see is the name of the group and there is no way to edit them.
So forgive me for thinking it wouldn't work, but I couldn't experiment with the real group and risk it going wrong!
I have no idea how they (Apple) are doing it but the names of the recipients don't seem to appear anywhere in the email header...
+Mime-Version: 1.0 (Apple Message framework v753.1)+
+To: Test Group+
+Message-Id: <[email protected]>+
+Content-Type: multipart/signed;+
+ micalg=sha1;+
+ boundary=Apple-Mail-25-164972374;+
+ protocol="application/pkcs7-signature"+
+From: "xxxxxx.co.uk" <[email protected]>+
+Subject: test email to group 002+
+Date: Sat, 19 Sep 2009 09:47:58 0800
This is annoying because I cannot now tailor the list of recipients. In the past I used to be able to weed out people who were legitimately in the group but shouldn't receive the email.
Not sure If they have done this for some oddly perceived security reason: I used to Apple-X the addresses from the To: field, and Apple-V them into the Bcc: field, so recipients couldn't see the whole list of addresses or "Reply to all". Surely this was enough for the vast majority of users.
Thanks again for your time.

Has anyone found a solution to sending mail to groups in Mavericks? I've been given 2 approaches - 1 to type user name group into address and the other to go to address book and right click on group. Neither are satisfactory. Does anyone have a solution?

thanks a lot for your kind help... saved me a lot of time and effort, could not believe it at first that the process is so simple but once i followed the steps it worked fine. appreciate your help.

Sending mail to group... help!

I have created a group in Address Book... Some of the people have two or more email addresses in Address Book (home, school, work, etc.). When I go into Mail, and put the group in the "To:" box, all the names appear... but Mail automatically defaults to the first email listed for each person. Instead of selecting each person in the message, can I easily set the "primary" email address for each person. For example, I want my particular group to only send to the ".edu" addresses of each person. How can I easily change this?
Thanks for the help!

Copied from Address Book Help.
If group members have multiple email addresses, you can choose which address you want to use when sending mail to the group. Select the group, then choose Edit > Edit Distribution List. Select which of the members' addresses you want to use.

How to send mail to groups or distribution lists

Ok so what appears to be a rather large problem with the Apple Mail Server. the complete lack of being able to create a group in workgroup manager and then have that group as an email account that when email is sent to the group name the mail is then sent on to all the members.
Now i know you can do it with postfix alias's but thats not the most user friendly way for users to administer their groups and DL's. Now OS X Server does have mailman mainling lists installed and this will do exactly what i want but it needs a few changes to stop behaving like a list and behave like a group or DL.
I made a PDF with the settings you need to change here
http://www.filefactory.com/file/61ad89/
its very dodgy but hopefully gets the information accross. I hope apple address this issue in 10.5 as this is a serious issue when trying to incorporate a apple mail server in an enterprise environment.
any questions you can email me on calum.h@[nospam]gmail.com
Cheers,

Sadly enough this is still behaving like a mailing list and it doesn't show any corelation to acting as a DL and working off of a system defined group.
There is little hope that apple will address this issue unless there is sufficient demand (there isn't at this time) and an available GNU GPL software solution already exists because they are not going to spend the time/money to create one from scratch.
Since mailman is python based it should be fairly easy to add the functionality you require by hacking the mailman source and have it act on group ID's rather than obtain a list of users.
If you tar up your existing /usr/share/mailman and /var/mailman (so you can restore when you're done), then edit the '.pyc' files in /usr/share/mailman to get the functionality you require, once you have this, tar up the /usr/share/mailman, send it to me, restore your backed up settings, send me the modified mailman archive and I'll fix it so that you can have both functionalities in mailman from the create command and a seperate interface to access the LD lists for manipulation.
I just don't want to do all of the work.

Can't Send Mail to Group

Hi,
I am having a problem sending a message to a Group in my Address Book-- I get this error message: "[SUSPEND] The mailbox is currently unavailable - please contact correspondent directly." It then prompts me to choose another SMTP server.
Since I am having no other problems sending or receiving mail, my guess is that there is something wrong with my group, or an address in my group. A note; I put myself in the group-- is that a no-no?

All internet service providers with the email account and SMTP server the ISP provides along with email account providers only have sending limits/restrictions for all personal/non-business email accounts.
For the email account and SMTP server provided by my ISP, there isn't a number of recipient's per message restriction but there is a total number of recipients for all messages sent in a 24 hour period restriction which can be exceeded with a single message.
You must wait until the 24 hour period expires which I believe is at midnight your time or whenever the 24 hour period begins/ends or if you are also accessing an email account and SMTP server provided by your ISP used for connecting to the internet with Mail, you can select/use your ISP's SMTP server to send messages with your .Mac account.
These restrictions are part of an overall effort to prevent spam and bulk spam mailings emanating from the ISP's or email account provider's domain.

Send mail to group--not happening...

I've set up a group in Address Book.
Then when I try to send a message to them, all names of the group appear in the TO: section of the mail header....but then only one person out of the group actually gets sent the mail.
Odd...is this a bug or am I not doing something correctly.

As a first step I would delete the group in AB, recreate it and test again.
let me know if you get the same behavior.

How to send mail to group contacts

How to send e-mail to a group in contacts.
I can't seem to find a way to take a group and send an e-mail to all.

Hi sharon,
In the "To" line on the email you should be able to type the first several letters of the group name. Then you should see a dropdown with all names that start with those letters, and then can select the group from the dropdown.
Cheers,

How do I send mail to Groups now I have installed Maverick?

I don't appear to be able to Mail Groups ( set up in Contacts) since installing Mavericks.

I had the same problem this morning. Here's what APPLE help said:
Open Address Book from the Dock
Hold down CTRL key and then click on your group.
The option to "send email" or "export...." should be there and click on it. A new email will appear with your group names.
If you have "right click" enabled, open Address Book, and right click on your Group. The same window "export or send email" should appear. Click on send email.
Hope that works for you. It helped me.

Sending mail to group, where people ONLY see their name...

Is there a way to send a mass email out, to all your friends for example, so that each person only sees the email addressed to them?
I want it to look as thought the email was addressed to them personally, not "CC" or "bcc" where they see someone else's name and they are copied.

No, you can't do this without using automation (like Automator or scripting) or third party software.

Mail - Mavericks - Groups

Very difficult/slow to send mail to Groups since upgrading to Mavericks 9.1
Multiple Discussions about this in these Discussion Groups - obviously affecting a large number of users - but no definitive solution that allows the ease of use seen with Mountain Lion --> Drag the Group Name from Addresses/Contacts into the To/CC/BCC fields & it worked --> it no longer does under Mavericks.
And suggested workarounds are slow/clumsy/Windows-like to say the least.
Does anyone have a sense that Apple is aware of the many concerns about Mail since Mavericks came on board?
Has anyone found a good solution?
Thanks!
...John

I do note that:
Mail --> New Message --> Open Addresses
The Groups appear in the 1st Column, Individual Names in the 2nd & Email Addresses in the 3rd
Click on an individual name & the TO / CC / BCC buttons are active
But, clicking on a Group Name (if no name in the Group is selected) & the TO / CC / BCC buttons are grayed out.
You cannot add a Group name to the TO / CC / BCC fields in your message by double-clicking or dragging it from the Addresses.
And things really slow down if you type the group name into the fields - with unreliable & inconsistent results .
Any thoughts?

Cannot send mail to a group if hiding addresses

I can't send mail to a group unless I show all member addresses. If I uncheck this preference I recieve the following error dialogue:
This message could not be delivered and will remain in your Outbox until it can be delivered.
Sending the message content to the server failed.
Very frustrating and infuriating for my reciepients. Any ideas?

Thank you Klaus,
In mail help, Bcc is indicated as an alternative to unchecking the box saying show names in group when sending. Any ideas as to why the preference doesn't work?

Sending mail to a contact group with a numeric name

Hello!
I have a problem when sending mail to a contact group. The contact group is named "1234", and in Mail the autocompletion of the address is not performed successfully.
However, if I rename the group to "A1234" then it all works. Sounds like a bug to me.
Also, I have 31 people in my contact group. And, when adding the "A1234" group in the To: field - not all in the contact group are added. (And yes, they all have valid email addresses)
This also sounds like a bug to me. Or, am I missing something?
I should also add that when - in the address book - I select the group and "Send email to group", not all people in the group are added either...
Cheers,
/ Peter

Your email provider limits the number of email addresses you can send to at once, so it's likely you exceeded that limit, thus causing their server to hang. Check with them to find out that limit, then try reducing the number of recipients your sending to in that group to that number or less.
