Apple Mail Groups

Is there a way to consrtuct groups for email contacts in Apple Mail?

I have a group in Contacts. When I type in the name of the group, a list of names appears, but it's not the complete list.  Is there a fix for this?

  • Apple Mail group addresses

    I manage a distribution list of 200 emails. How do I send to group without showing all the individual emails in the address bar? I tried to just sending with the group name but it would not go.

    I saw your 2011 post in which you said that you manage a distribution list of 200 addresses. I assume that you've created the group in the "Contacts" application. Is that the case?
    I've been wondering whether there's a maximum number of addresses that you can have in a "Contacts" group, because I've had some trouble with some people in my group of about 65 not receiving my messages.
    Do you have all 200 addresses in a single "Contacts" group?
    Does anyone else have information about a maximum -- effective -- size for a "Contacts" group being used to send messages?
    Thanks,

  • Huge problem using apple mail while sending email to a group...

    Hey - I am quite confused... apple mail has huge problems using groups with about 150 addresses when writing and sending an email... the writing of emails is nearly impossible. Once the group name is inserted in the addressline (address book in iCloud!), apple mail uses nearly 100% CPU and further writing is nearly impossible. When sending such an email, all addresses are suddenly visible - though the box is NOT checked and the addresses should be hidden... what can I do? I use this feature (sending mails to groups) on a daily basis and cannot accept visible addresses...
    Greetings and sorry for inconvenient english...

    How about next time you send to the group, cc yourself, or include yourself in the group. Then receive the email on the iphone, you can "reply all" in order to send to the group. If you use an imap account, you can make a new folder, call it something like "groups", and save different group emails there for the next time you need to "reply all".

  • How do I easily select a group of emails in Apple Mail if I want to delete them? In other words, how do I select the first and last message and delete everything in between?

    How do I easily select a group of emails in Apple Mail if I want to delete them? In other words, what do I select if I mark the first and last email to delete everything in between? Thanks.

    I have this same issue. I have over 100 email addresses that I need to add to a group. The issue is not making the group, it's getting the email addresses from Mail to Contacts.
    Dragging the email addresses does nothing. You can copy the addresses, but there's nowhere to put them. You can make a VCF for an email address, but then you have to find all of them to add them to the group. How do you automate this?!
    I'm astounded that there's so little support for such a common issue for which people have been asking for years.

  • Group emails using Apple Mail

    From time to time I like to inform about 40 people that I have updated my iWeb site. To do this, I have assembled a 'group' of addresses and I send the update information to them.
    It does not appear to be possible to do this using Apple Mail. I have tried breaking the group down into small bite sizes but poor old Mail just can't hack it. It is not up to the job using an internet connection in Australia or in Canada.
    Creating such a group using Gmail Mailplane) does not seem to be possible. Indeed that is a distinct deficiency with an otherwise splendid facility.
    I am always obliged to fall back on my dusty old copy of Entourage which does the job flawlessly. Unfortunately, Entourage does not send the sexy update message so handily supplied by iWeb.
    I have just gone through this again today. Mail did not hack it. It first tried to use the Gmail SMTP server and then the old Dotmac one and finally my ISP provider's outgoing mail server. None of thse worked. Error messages about time outs on Port 25 arrived.
    It would be nice to have the various Apple products working together seamlessly but, in my hands, this is not the case.
    I am using the latest version of all software.
    Any suggestions will be gratefully received and acknowledged.

    Thank you for your time.
    Once one has updated iWeb a three pronged invitation appears on the screen. One of these invites you to 'announce' your changes. If you click on that, Apple Mail fires up with a pre-printed message and a nice little logo. It is up to you to insert any addresses to which you might care to send the notification of your up date.
    Now, I have created a group of addressees in Address Book that I call Blog Group 1. I have arranged this group such that the addresses of members are concealed from other members. This you can do in Apple Mail preferences under 'composing.'
    I then press the send button. Wheels spin and the machine whirrs and I receive a message that it can't be sent and that I should use another server. It supplies a list of possibilities. I try them all with the same lack of success. I no longer have the exact error message to hand and could only get it by sending my stuff out again and thereby unnecessarily bothering my correspondents.
    After messing around with all of this, I use precisely the same group with Microsoft Entourage and hey presto! it works.
    If I can send group emails with Entourage but not with Apple Mail then I hardly think that this can be an issue with my ISP. (I tried to phone tech support today to clarify the point but they are down!)
    Why then not use Entourage and be done with it, I hear you cry? For reasons that I cannot explain, I try to avoid using Microsoft products unless there is no alternative. Apple purports to have nicely integrated software and so why not use that?
    Do you now follow my problem? If you have any further insights, I shall be more than happy to hear them.
    Once again, thank you for your time.
    Cordially,

  • Problem with Groups from Address Book in Apple Mail

    I have set up a group in my address book. When I use Apple Mail I use this group to send specific messages to. But for some reason I keep getting error messages saying that my outgoing sever encountered a problem with the messgae. It only happens when I send messages with a group, not if I send messages to single recipients. The group consists of 90 emails, so I can't enter their emails each time I want to send a message to the group.
    Thanks in advance,
    Regards

    I am having a similar problem. All the addresses are correct, and I know this because I use them all the time with no errors. BUT when bundled into a group - actually any group I set up I cannot send successfully. I have two groups in my mail program and neither will work.

  • Apple Mail Auto Complete For Groups

    After searching the forum, I found out how to remove autocomplete in Apple Mail for old contacts.  But how do I remove old groups from autocomplete?
    I have old groups that have been replaced with new ones over the years with the same names.  I have to be extremely careful on which group I am selecting from the auto fill list because although the same names, one is current. one isn't.  There is only one group in my contacts and all the old ones are gone.  I have been able to remove all the unwanted autofill addresses for individuals using:
    Window/Previous Recipients
    but it doesnt work for old groups.  Any ideas?

    1)  Reindex Mail
    Go to your User's Library folder. (if you don't know how to find, see this link.)
    http://www.needhelp4mac.com/2013/11/how-to-enable-users-library-folder/
    Scroll to Mail folder.
    Select the V2 > MailData folder.
    Delete any files in MailData with envelope in the name. (should be 3)
    When you open Mail it will re-index your files.
    2)  Search is based off Spotlight cache files.
    HOW TO RE-INDEX YOUR SPOTLIGHT CACHE FILES
    From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
    *  Click Spotlight.
    *  Click the Privacy tab.
    *  Drag your drive to the list. Wait a couple of minutes.
    *  Remove the item you added.
    *  Spotlight will re-index the contents of the item you initially dragged to the list.
    Contacts in Mail
    Under Window in the Menu bar, select Previous Recipients List. If the person is in your Contacts, there will be an icon next to the email address. You can add entries to contacts or remove from the list. For example your friend got a new email address but autofil wants to use an old email address. Remove the old entry.
    While Mail and Contacts are two separate applications they are tightly integrated.
    I'm sorry but I have no other suggestions for a better email client.
    Download and run the Mountain Lion combo to refresh your system files.

  • Apple Mail Rules no longer seeing Contact Groups

    I am running 10.8.3 and have many rules set up in Apple Mail, most of which label and organize my incoming e-mail, but something has happened and the rules stopped applying. I went in and checked my rules and the problem is that Mail is no longer seeing my groups in contacts. The drop down menu when I set Sender is member of Group now is grayed out and says no groups in Contacts. This is not the case, I have many groups set up on Contacts.
    Anyone have any idea what is going on or how I can fix this. I have run permissions and run Disk Warrior on my drop, but neither seemed to do anything.

    Try booting into the Safe Mode.  Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application unistaller. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

  • Apple mail and group contacts

    I have created a group in my Address Book app. When I try to use Apple Mail to send an email to the group, I type in the name of the group in the To: section and after typing sa few characters, it recognizes the group name and (in a highlight) completes the name, but when i use the "right arrow key" or the "return" key to accept the group name, it disappears and does not enter the group in the To: field. I have tried this in the Bcc: field as well and it still does not work. I use a gmail address as my default mail account in Apple Mail and my group has only 19 contacts in it, and it still refuses to work. Please help!

    I have the same problem. And I changed the prefereences setting in Mail so that the addresses show. They don't, and you can't send to groups.

  • Bummer with Mavericks and changes to smart groups in apple mail

    I am so not happy with Mavericks and how it changed smart groups in apple mail. Before it was easy to create a group mailing to my clients. I find nothing helpful in their help link either. I want it to show in bcc so I can see who I am mailing to. Seriously, i would not have downloaded this if I had known they'd get rid of the ease of smart groups. Since there are no smart groups now, why do they even have it listed? The option? I can't see what I can even do with it. Do I sound crabby? Yup. Thank you for helping. I need to bcc to a group of 271 clients. Bad apple! Bad! Seems like newer versions should bring improvments, not the opposite.

    Hi,
    Yes that is what I had to do yesterday and it wasn't easy but quirky, as far as entering names etc to clients. There's now nothing "smart" about it. They should remove the smart group folder since it doesn't really exist now. I was not a happy camper.
    I repeat here what I said earlier in case you did not see it: I called Apple in Cupertino, CA and spoke with someone in Customer Care I think it was. She was nice and listened but said that she has no power with higher-ups and to post here and that they do see it. I hope enough of us post about this issue that they change it! Go to: apple.com\feedback , then to products, choose Maverick (I guess), drop down window and post there. I will too. Thanks.
    I hope she understood I meant it as a smart group issue and not just quirky email issues with gmail etc. Have a good day.

  • Groups not working in apple mail

    Hi,
    Since the update to 19.9.1 mail groups began working again, but now they've stopped.  It used to be I could enter the first few letters in the address field and either a person's or group's name would show up to be selected.  Not groups don't show up anymore.
    Any idea why?

  • Apple Mail sends out emails when turned on. Adress book creates groups of email addresses

    I have had this issue with my address book for a while in that it creates new entries with just an email address as the actual entry and then hundreds of other email addresses from address book as this entry's additional email addresses.
    At the same time I had an issue with Apple Mail that I thought was unrelated but now I am not that sure anymore. When I turn Apple Mail on, it sends out emails that look like an endless chain of responses (spam) to the same email that advertises  all kinds of stuff.
    When I first noticed the issue I turned Mail off (a year ago). After updating to Lion I tried to use mail again but had the same issue and have not been using it since. But I appear to still find new entries in my address book all the time.
    I ran some software (ClamX) but wasn't able to find any malware so far. I can't imagine someone hacking into my machine and doing all this my hand. For what?
    So I am wondering whether anyone has had similar symptoms on their Mac?

    Do you recognize the new entries in Address Book, or the contents of the messages?

  • Multiple Email Addresses in Apple Mail...HELP

    Ok so I have finally set up apple mail with my gmail account but am having a minor issue...My hotmail email is forwarded to my gmail account, which is what I use in apple mail...So i receive all my mail through IMAP settings..Now, when I'm reading my mail through Apple mail, it tells me what email address it came from..My question is, when replying, i am able to pick my hotmail address in the "from" field from the drop down menu, but there is another box to the right of it with the "outgoing server" information...So when they receive my reply message it reads, From: Me ([email protected]) on behalf of ME ([email protected]) Is there a way to change this so it just shows the msn address and leaves out the gmail??

    Izzy: Welcome to the discussion groups.
    I understand that you have multiple From: addresses set up, all your email goes to your gmail account, and then to your Mac. When you reply to hotmail-received messages, you select (or rather it, Mail, selects-- I think that is the behavior I see) you hotmail address for the sender address, and when it goes through the gmail smtp server, it adds a comment indicating this to the header.
    Even though some other email gateways might not do this, the information us almost always stored somewhere in the Received: headers? Gmail just calls it out.
    There is no way around this except to add your hotmail account as another mail account and send hotmail via the hotmail smtp server... or find another smtp server that doesn't do this. (But, again, the information will usually be in the header fields.)
