Adding multiple email address for same contact to mail group

Is it possible (in Apple Mail) to add a second email (work) address for a contact to an email group, how?

Sorry, but Address Book does not allow you to select more than one email address to send to in a group. There's really no reason why people need multiple copies of a message, anyway; they have the option of forwarding email to another email address of theirs.

How do I add multiple email addresses for a contact to a group?

(I'm a recent convert from eMailer to Outlook Express, to Entourage, and finally to Mail.app)
I'm trying to set up a group in Address Book that includes multiple email addresses from a given card. These are folks that want me to include, for example, both their work and home email addresses when I send to this particular group.
I see that Address Book has the ability to use "Edit Distribution List..." to select one email address for a given card/contact, but I can't get it to allow me to use two or three for a given card.
I suppose for now I can just create a duplicate card, and pick one address from each.
Is there a better way?

Email multiple email addresses for one contact within Group email

I have a contact card within a Group that has 2 email addresses. When sending out mass emails I want to send it out to both of the addresses for that one contact card; however, when I put the persons name in the address bar in mail, it only defaults to one of them. How can I fix this without creating multiple contact cards for the same person? Thanks for your help!!!

Hi, I'm not positive, but I don't think you can.
I'd maybe keep a little text snippet of the 2 email addies to copy/paste in the TO: feild, or the BCC: feild is better.

Adding multiple email addresses to same account

Hello,
I am trying to add another email address to my exisiting email account (using Mail). I walked through the steps in Mail Help - I entered the addresses in the email field separated by a comma. Example: Steve1@ sbc.com, [email protected]
I Saved. When I write an email to the new address Steve2 and cc my exisitng address, Steve1. I only receive mail to Steve1.
Any suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks.

After giving up to figure this out and talking with
a rep who
could not figure it out, I did create a new account
in Mail, so
now I have steve1 and steve2 accounts in the Mail.
Now it works
but I am still puzzled as to why I cannot add
multiple addresses
to one account, as instructed in Mail Help.
SBC's term "sub account" must not be an "alias"
account by definition.
As previously provided, an alias account/address
shares the same user name and password as the primary
account/address.
If an SBC "sub account" does not share the same user
name and password as the primary email
account/address, it must be created as a separate
email account in Mail.
The user name for an email account is usually the
portion of the email address in front of the "@" sign
only but for some, it is the entire email address.
This depends on the ISP or email account provider.
Since you were able to create the "sub account" as
separate email account in Mail, is the user name for
the primary account steve1 and the user name for the
"sub account" steve2?
Yes. Your comment below clears this up.
Thank you for the help.
If so, this "sub account" is definitely not an
"alias" account and cannot be created in Mail as an
alias account because it is not an alias.

Select Multiple Email addresses for 1 contact

How do I select when I send an email to a contact in my address book to send the email to more than one of their email addresses?

you have to enter those addresses separately in the "To" line of the outgoing message. that's the only way.

Sending an email to all email addresses for a contact in a Group

I recently compiled a Group of contacts so that I could send out a Christmas email. These days most people have more than one email address. From what I understand, Mail will send it to the first email listed on their Address Book card. What if I wanted to send the email to all of their emails listed on their card? Is that possible?

Slippers wrote:
Another suggestion is to have multiple groups which feed a "master" group. For example, Jane Doe has two email addresses (home and office) which I need to use in a single email message.
I create a master group calling it "Soccer". For the Distribution List, I use Jane's home email for Group 1 and Jane's work email for Group 2. I then drag and drop Group 1 and Group 2 into the "Soccer" group.
This isn't perfect, but it doesn't require you to have duplicate contacts.
Hope this helps someone.
very ingeneous!

How to make a distribution list that includes all email addresses for each contact?

Is it possible to create a distribution list that allows you to select all possible email addresses for each contact within a group? I am running into the problem that I can only select one email address for each contact, but need multiple. How can this email list be generated using the Contacts app and Mail?

You can't with the way it currently works.
I've never tried, but you might try multiple groups, each with a different email selected.
I think I created an Applescript that would grab every address of every selected person and address an email. It is probably buried in the bowels of these forums.

Broadcasting via Bursting to multiple email address for a single vendor cod

Hello -
I have a requirement to broadcast out a web template based scorecard to multiple email addresses for a given vendor code. We have gotten it to work via a single email address, but I need to send it to more than one email per vendor code.
Has anyone else tried this?
Thank you!

Hi Chris,
If my understanding is right, you must be using the master data of vendor Code(Which has an attribute to store Email IDs).
You can add multiple email ID to the same master data separated by semi colon ";"
If you are using user IDs instead, I dont think it is possible to use multiple user ID in the same attribute.
in this case you need to enhance the master data with a new attribute to store the second user ID and the create a separate setting for this attribute.
Hope this helps.
Regards.
Shafi.

Need second email address for a contact

I need the ability to add a second email address for a contact. I have tried using ";" and "," characters in the email address line, but get an invalid data format error when saving. Short of adding a custom field, is there any way to do this?
Neil

Neil, I believe your only option is adding a custom field.

I have a new iPad. I am using Comcast as my email provider but when I send a message, it pulls up the facebook email addresses for my contacts instead of the addresses stored in my comcast account. How can I get rid of the Facebook email addresses? The comcast addresses are stored in the comcast (xfinity) app. I do not use the "mail" or "contacts" apps ....I go straight to comcast (xfinity). I wish I could start over!!! thanks.
iPad

I could be wrong, but it sounds like Facebook imported to your contacts. I have the Xfinity app on my new ipad, too, but none of my stored contacts from the online version are showing, only what I manually entered into the iPads contacts are there. When I did add the FB app, I did not grant it permission to push and pull from my ipad (not a fan of FB knowing every detail about me), so that may be where our difference lies. You could try to open the app and change your privacy settings, or delete it and then reinstall without granting permissions to integrate.
I'm sure someone here with a lot more knowledge then me can probably diagnose your issue better, though. Good luck!

Can i send to multiple email addresses for the same contact

I coach a baseball team and I want to create contacts under the kids' names with email addresses for both parents listed. Can I send email to multiple email addresses listed inside the same contact? I hope this makes sense.
Thanks!

You can do it individually, but it can also be done with Groups in Contacts, but you will need to create two or more groups. Once you have created the Groups in Contacts, drag the contacts that have multiple email addresses into each group. Then, select Edit Distribution List… from the Edit menu in Contacts.
For each group, select one address or the other for each contact. Do the same for the other group.
When you address an email, add both Groups to the address field in Mail.

Managing multiple email addresses for the same contact

Hi
I have set up a group so I can email multiple people at once using the usual method. However, when I put the 'xx group' in the Bcc, it mails them fine, but where I have more than one address for the contact, it picks one without asking me.
How do I set it so it always chooses a certain (main) address? For one, it sent it one of two addresses I had listed as 'home', on another it sent it to an address I had listed as 'work'.
They also appeared in different positions on the card, e.g. it is not sending tit to the first one it sees on the card.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Mark

found the answer somewhere else:
When sending a message to a Group and a Group member (or members) has multiple email addresses, the following was copied from Address Book Help.
Choose Edit > Edit Distribution List.
Select the group whose addresses you want to manage.
Click the pop-up menu (column header) to choose which type of information you want to manage—phone number, email address, or street address.
Select the address or phone number you want to use for each member with multiple addresses or phone numbers.

Highly frustrated with Outlook 2013 Search People box bugs - Multiple Name Results for Same Contact & Inconsistent Results

The Outlook 2013 "Search People" box does not function properly. It frequently displays incorrect results or a mess of duplicate results. I've reported previous issues about this and consolidating my posts into one (with screenshots this
time). Hopefully this message will be forwarded to or seen by the Outlook programmers. It really needs to be fixed.
Outlook 2010 and other prior versions worked perfectly. You search for name, you get ONE result with the info you're looking for. FAST AND EASY. But with Outlook 2013 Microsoft has created a heck of a mess resulting in huge frustration and productivity loss
with such simple but important tasks.
I have hundreds of contacts stored in my Outlook address book, and they all have COMPLETE contact info added.
One major issue that I'm experiencing in the new Outlook 2013 is that I now get average of 4 or more duplicate name results appearing for the same contact. And each result contains different and incomplete contact info, making it impossible for me to quickly
find the basic info I'm looking for. The cause of this issue is that Outlook 2013 now provides results from not only your local address book(s), but it also shows results based on your email history and social media accounts setup.
And there's no way to turn this off, or at least specify what folders and/or accounts the People Search box should use.
To make matters worse, the Microsoft developers conveniently forgot to add some form of an indicator (like a small icon besides each name result in the list) that clearly indicates what result is from what source. So you must manually click on each
result one at a time and repeat the search until you locate the correct one.
For one specific example, I have a contact stored in my local address book called
Infusionsoft. When I type "Infusionsoft" in the People Search box to quickly find a phone number, Outlook 2013 shows me 7 results with the same name. See the screenshot below:
As you can see in the screenshot above, every result just says "Infusionsoft", so I have to manually click on each name result one at a time and repeat the process until I find the correct one from my address book. This same thing happens with other
random contacts.
From what I can tell, Outlook is pulling results based on based on recent emails I've received from different people with "@infusionsoft.com" in their email address. So the first result shows "[email protected]" (just the email
address), the second result shows "[email protected]", the third result shows "[email protected]" and so forth. I don't want Outlook to show all of that. I just want what's in my address book!
And you would think that the last result would be the correct one from my address book, but no. Sometimes its the 5th result, and other times it's the 3rd or 7th result. So there's no freaking order of things here.
We simply need the ability to turn off searching of email history and other accounts when using the People Search box. Problem fixed.
(And please don't tell me that I need to "link" every incorrect result to one main contact. You shouldn't expect everyone to have to tediously link any and all results that appear to a record. ESPECIALLY when 5+ results for each contact appear regularly.)
ISSUE 2: Some names must be typed in a different way for the Search People to locate them
Another big issue I'm having with the Search People box is that some name searches don’t show the correct result, unless I search for their names in a different way.
For one specific example, I have a contact stored in my address book named "Dave Johnson". When I type "Dave Johnson" in the Search People box, one result appears, but it's just his email address, only. It's not the result that's stored in my Outlook address
book with his phone number, addresses, etc. Screen shot below:
If I type in Dave's name reverse order (Johnson Dave), no results are found at all.
Now if I just type in just"Johnson" all by itself, it finds Dave's correct result (the one stored in my Outlook Address Book). Along with everybody else that has "Johnson" in their name (see screenshot below)...
I double-checked how I have Dave's name programed in my address book, and it's in there as "Dave Johnson" for both the Full Name and File As fields.
Also, the name order shouldn't make any difference when using the People Search Box anyway. Sometimes I can find people by Last Name, First Name or First Name, Last Name. Only with random contacts does it get difficult finding their info and
I have to do strange things like this to find them from the People Search box.
ISSUE 3: Some Search People results only yield an email address only.
For other random contacts, some search results only yield an email address with no other contact details. But I can open the persons contact card from the address book manually, with the same email address shown! Screenshot below...
In the screenshot above, I have outlined the Search People box results in red, and the Address Book results in green. You can clearly see that "Robert White" is a contact stored in my local address book with full contact details, but the Search People result
only shows his email address! Again, it's not consitent. It's hit or miss with different people.
ISSUE 4: Some results just don't appear at all, but they are in the address book
Another issue I'm experiencing with the People Search Box is that some people simply cannot be found. But I can see their contact info just fine if I click on the "People" tab down at the bottom of the page and type in their name in the "Search Contacts"
field. Why can't the People Search box find certain people? I opened up their contact details and cannot find a single thing that would prevent them from showing up in results.
These are clearly serious bugs that need to be fixed. And I'm shocked as to how this got missed--or ignored during alpha and beta testing. I see the "idea" behind the developers having the Search People box search everything outside of the
address book, but in real world application this causes a heck of a lot of problems & confusion, and it needs to be fixed ASAP.
For technical details, I have Outlook 2013 running on two computers using hosted Exchange 2010. One system is Windows 7 and other is Windows 8. The same problems occur on BOTH computers. As far as my Outlook account setup, I have all contacts stored in the
main address book (no sub-folders or other folders).
Can someone help communicate this message to the Outlook developers??? The "Frown" button limits me to 100 characters and one image. There's no way I can communicate this level of detail and steps to duplicate in 100 characters!

Thanks for your reply.
1) The instant search boxes in each individual page work just fine. If I am on the People page and type in a name in the "Search Contacts" field, it searches my contacts and displays the results that I want. But I should not have to leave whatever screen
I'm in to find people now. In Outlook 2010 and earlier versions, I could be on the calendar page and then search for a contact without clicking off the calendar completely. For productivity-sake, it's a huge waste of time and hassle now.
2) I'm familiar with how contact linking works, and quite frankly it's a huge mess in general. I NEVER create multiple contacts for the same person. I get that Outlook 2013 get confused now when it detects a LinkedIn or Facebook account for the same person
already in my Outlook address book, but we need to have options that allow us to turn off results from some or all social networks. This is a big part of the problem.
Think about it this way - The average person has 150+ LinkedIn connections, and more for Facebook. Many people today have accounts for both and they are setup with the same email address. When Outlook 2013 has to scan all the networks IN ADDITION to your
local address book(s), it's a no brainer that it can get very confused trying to display results.
Another big part of the problem is that Outlooks new search system also scans your email history. I receive emails from people who use multiple email addresses, or emails from companies with multiple reps or ticket systems that send you a unique
ticket ID # ending in the same email address domain. Now Outlook displays people search results based on everything under the sun in my email history. This is beyond frustrating (see my "Infusionsoft" screenshot above in the first post).
Again, I want to stress that for the search examples I referenced, I only have one entry in my Outlook address book for each person. And that's all I want to find when I search for people--what's already in my own address book!
In summary:
We need an OPTION to turn off searching external networks when using the People Search box
We need an option to tell Outlook to not scan email history for people search results (I think this needs to be disabled entirely actually. It's not helpful at all)
There should be a fixed priority for displaying people search results, with local address book results FIRST, followed by social network results.
There should be a clear icon/indicator next to each result that gives you a clue as to where the result is coming from. Your address book? Facebook? LinkedIn? We should not need to click on each result to get a hint as to where it's coming from.
Work out the bugs in general with the new search system.
One other thing that I didn't mention is that the Search People box also shows results for people I'm not even "friends" or connected with on the different social networks. But I've noticed that some people use the same email address for those networks that
I already have programmed for them in my address book, which is why Outlook sometimes shows me these results. Does that make sense?
I'll try rebuilding the index, but after testing Outlook 2013 on 3 different machines so far and seeing the same results (all slightly different results on each machine and very inconsistent), I doubt this will address the issue.

Multiple Email addresses for MailContact - NOT MAILBOX

Hi,
This is probably in the wrong section but an admin can move it if needed.
I am working with Exchange Management Shell for Exchange Server 2010, and would like to know if it is possible to add a secondary email address to
MailContacts through powershell.
I can double click each contact go to the email address tab and add additional email addresses there but I want to know if its is possible through the powershell.
The only information ive found online is to do this for a Mailbox.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Bill

Bill,
The Exchange attribute you're looking to modify for the MailContact is the
EmailAddresses attribute (equivalent to the ProxyAddresses AD Attribute)
Using powershell to add them may look something like this:
$contacts = get-mailcontact
foreach($contact in $contacts){
#get the existing SMTP address for the contact
$existingaddress = $contact.primarysmtpaddress.tostring()
#example of creating a new SMTP address for the contact based on existing attributes, and removing spaces. Replace this with however you're going to build the new address.
$newaddress = ($($contact.DisplayName.tostring()) + "@domain.com").Replace(" ","")
#sets the contact to have multiple SMTP addresses, Note that the first address listed will become the PrimarySMTPAddress for the contact.
set-mailcontact -emailaddresspolicyenabled $false -Emailaddresses $existingaddress,$newaddress
#Full disclosure: I tested this code on my Exchange 2013 lab, not Exchange 2010, however this should work either way.
I think it is important to note however that adding additional external addresses would be a moot point, as Exchange will only send to what is listed as the targetAddress (Single value) of the contact. However, if you're looking for multiple "internal"
SMTP addresses to map to a single "external" SMTP address, this should work, depending on your environment/requirements.
