Can I have two Address Books?

I have used a distribution list in Outlook for years to send a email to about 125 members of a professional organization.  Now both MSN and Gmail say that I can't send this number of emails, as it might be SPAM. 
So, I'm trying to get away from Outlook since I use Apple Mail now.  I plan to import this list into a group in my Address Book but hate to have to manage these contacts along with all my other contacts.
Is there a way to have two contact lists, or two Address Books?  I know the problem will probably still be there and I'll have to break the list down into several smaller groups to make this work (thanks SPAMMers!).  But I don't trust Outlook since I've installed in on my MBP and want to do this group email using Mail.
Importing the list will take some careful planning of the text file to import from.  Too bad you can't import from an Excel spreadsheet.
I know there are multiple subjects here.  Any suggestions??

Thanks for the responses to this query.  I was afraid that only one Address Book was allowed per user.
Guess I have no good option other than to put these contact into my Address Book and put them in a group.  Probably will need to put them into several groups as it looks like most of the email programs now will not allow sending email to groups as large as this one (close to 150 contact names). 
Seems like there should be a way to get around this restriction, but no being able to find help from these email groups, makes it difficult.  There was a time when you could contact support people at msn.com or at some of the other commercial email providers.  Not today.
I'll do a CVS import as suggested and go from there.

  • Can I have two address books on one computer

    Hi,
    I have my standard address book I use and love. I am an artist and forever having to make slide labels. I have used many programs and databases to do this task. To my surprise address book would accomplish this amazing well. I just don't want to combine my art label information with my address stuff? So can I have two address files on one mac?

    CC,
    you can add a new user account on your Mac (open system preferences / accounts) and start fresh there with an empty AddressBook.
    If you want to fill this with a part of your original AB, select those and export as vCards. Drop this export file in your shared folder so you can access that from the new user account. Open AB ther and import the vCards

  • Can you have two address books on one icloud account?

    My wife and I want separate contact lists.  Is there any way to do this with 1 ICloud account?
    Thanks,

    No, you need separate iCloud accounts. If you want to maintain separate Address Books you and your wife should have separate user accounts on your Mac anyway.
    You can setup separate Address Book groups within a Address Book in a single Mac user account.

    While in the Address Book press the Menu and than Options. Just type in RSET
    (capital letters) and you'll be able to wipe out all your Desktops where the
    Wireless synchronization is Not available. You can keep intact the last Desktop
    where the Wireless Synchronization is Yes.

  • Is it possible to have two address books on one computer?

    I would like to create two address books on my computer.  One for my wife and one for me.  Therefore we can each sync our iphones to address books.

    You can do that by have two separate user accounts on the computer - one for you and one for your wife. This also lets you each have separate Apple IDs so that your iPhone data are separately synced.
    Using More than One iDevice on the Same Computer
    This applies mainly to couples who are adding another device and do not want their email, messages, etc. being duplicated on both devices. To begin read: How to use multiple iPhone, iPad, or iPod devices with one computer. You need to establish a separate Apple ID and password for whomever will use the new iDevice. See Apple - My Apple ID and Frequently asked questions about Apple ID. The easiest way is to do this on the computer using iTunes: iTunes- How to set up an Apple ID within iTunes.
    On the computer create a new user account for the person with the new iDevice. This will be the user account that person will always use. He/She will no longer use the other user account. This way that person will have a separate iTunes Library
    Start by transferring the new device(s) to a new account along with all your data.  Save any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless they are already in the camera roll) by opening your Photos app, tap on Albums icon at the bottom. Now, tap on My Photo Stream album; tap Select; tap on the photos you want to select;, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow) in the lower left corner; then tap Save to Camera Roll.
    If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep then you need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself. Later you can copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.
    Tap on Settings > iCloud > Delete Account (only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; the person keeping the current account will not be affected,) provide the password to turn off Find My Phone and choose Keep on My iDevice when prompted.  Sign in with a different Apple ID to create your new account. Choose Merge to upload your data.
    Once you are on separate accounts, you can each go to icloud.com and delete the other person's data from your account.
    Note: The essence of the above was created by user, randers4. I
    have made substantial changes to improve readability and syntax.

  • Mail and Address Book: Can I have 2 Address Books?

    Is there any way to have two completely different "address books" on one computer? I would like to keep two entirely unrelated ones for my husband and myself; and I don't want to make two groups.

    well, you could create another user account on that mac and have an address book with contacts for you on your user account and an address book with contacts for your husband on the other user account, and then toggle back and forth between user accounts.
    hope this helps

  • Two address books and calendars?

    My employer gave me a Blackberry Curve 8310.  It is set up to sync email (wireless) with my employer's email server which is Lotus Notes.
    My personal address book and calander are on MS Outlook, which I used to sync hardwire with my personal desktop.
    Can I use two address books and calendars on the Curve 8310, one Lotus Notes for professional items and one MS based for personal items?
    TIA.  I hope this wasn't too elementary.

  • Can two Address Books exist on my iMac

    I use my iMac for keeping tabs on a list of recuring events throughout the years as well as over the years.  The events generally follow in particular months each year and have new attendees as well as returning participants from previously held events who continue to attend the events. 
    I have kept records in Word for Mac, on Pages & Numbers, but nothing works best like Address Book.  I have several hundred participants that I would like to reorganize into a central location and find that Address Book might be best suited for the task.  The problem is that I would like to keep separate these names and dates from my personal/business Address Book if at all possible.
    My question is, "Can two Address Books exist on the iMac, each with its own intended purpose?  Namely, Address Book 1 (Personal) and Address Book 2 (Events)?
    Any ideas would be welcome.
    Regards,

    Two ways to go about this.  You can create Addressbook groups, or you can make a second user account within your Mac just to manage the second addressbook.  The advantage of the former, you can selectively search between two separate groups of addresses.    The advantage of the second obviously is totally separate operation. 
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2486 - explains the Smart Groups feature of Addressbook
    Apple menu -> System preferences -> Users and Groups helps you setup multiple accounts. Fast user switching allows you to use a menubar switch to go between two different users.

  • Can I have two separate email addresses in my mail?

    Hi,
    Can I have two separate email addresses/users with my one email account without paying anything extra?
    For instance: one email address with [email protected]
    And another one at: [email protected]
    And, if that's possible:
    1. Does it mean paying extra because you are having two separate accounts?
    2. Since it is on the same general account, do the emails and return emails show in the same location or do they show in a different place? For instance, if the 2nd user sends and email and someone returns it, will I as the first user name see both of those?
    Thanks much,
    Lee

    You can have up to five additional addresses, but they are not separate accounts. They are called 'email aliases' and are simply extra addresses which feed into the main inbox (and please note that you cannot create any new @mac.com adresses, they will be @me.com). Please see here about aliases:
    http://homepage.mac.com/rfwilmut/notes/mobileme.html#alias
    It's actually a good idea to give everyone an alias address rather than the main one, since if it gets spammed you can easily change it, whereas as you can't change your main address without opening a new account.
    If you need extra email accounts then you could go for a MobileMe Family Pack. Of course you can always set up free accounts with Google or Yahoo.

    can I have two contact lists on one mac book pro?  I need one to sync with my iphone, one to sync with my husband's iphone.

    I agree with Chris CA that this is the way I would *expect* iTunes to behave.
    When I look at iTunes from my account (my music is in ~/Music/iTunes/ and not available to my spouse's account), I can see in my music library all my rips and my purchases, just as I would expect. I can use Store>View My Account (<myAppleID>) and all is as expected. Home sharing is NOT on.
    Doing the same from the other account is not much different, actually. Nothing in the library yet, of course. Store>View My Account (<herAppleID>) also works. I CAN authorize my computer to play her music. I CAN view her iTunes purchases. When I attempt to download the purchases to HER library, though, I get the following dialog box:
    Now I interpret this to mean that this computer (mine) will not download from a different AppleID (also mine) for 90 days. Is that [interpretation] correct?

    I have the original iPhone and I can't sync the address book from my Mac to the iPhone. What should be the problem and can I sync?

    Thanks a lot for the answer. I'm so upset, have no even one contact on my phone. I has to do with the moving to iCloud from MobileMe.
    I did exactly what you wrote, and when trying to click the vcf file on the iPhone the screen freezing, and then after few long seconds it goes alon to home.
    So I tried less contacts in a Vcard, and i'm dividing my address book, doing little by little and it work.
    Thank you so much.
    I still dont get why the sync with my computer address book is not working.
    And why when I moved to icloud all the photos I had next to the contacts are disappered.
    I had my iPad, which it still, I did not move from MobileMe to iCloud and all the photos are there!
    Anything I can do to use the iCloud on the iPad as well and update the iCloud with the photos?
