Can I send email to an iCloud contact group via Outlook 2010

When I installed iCloud on my PC so I could share my Outlook 2010 contact info with my iPad, I lost all my distribution lists (contact groups). I created a new Group in iCloud and copied several contacts to it. I also assigned those specific contacts to one category, thinking perhaps I could select easily based on category.
Now I want to select that entire group (or category in the "to" of an email. If I click on the "To' button, I am taken to my general iCloud all contacts folder. Category is not a criteria by which I can select. If I try to type in the name of the Group, it is not recognized.
If I have lost the ability to send group emails, I am going to be one unhappy camper!

You would need to create a new Security-enabled DL in the Exchange Management Console. Rackspace will help you accomplish this.

  • I cannot sync my contact groups from Outlook 2010 (Win 7) onto my iPad.  Can anyone help please ?

    I cannor sync my contact groups from Outlook 2010 (Win 7) onto my iPad.  Can anyone help please ?

    in Itunes, once you connect the iPad, do you see the 'info' tab? Tap that and scroll down and see if outlook is chosen as the place to sync contacts from. If not, check it and sync and see if your contacts move over.

  • Can't send email to a specific contact

    Hey everyone...
    I have a little issue, my email works perfectly with my BB Curve 9320, except for one contact, my gf, I dunno why, but I can't send even a single e-mail to her.
    It does'n work and I have tried everything, battery pull, deleting her from the address book and adding her again, I even wiped out my entire BB (y' know, factory settings), and nothing fixed it.
    It doesn't matter if I compose a new e-mail, or reply to her, I still get the red X in my messages...
    Any suggestions?

    Hi Zalphon,
    You should check settings of your e-mail, i mean, go to the web link login and through options check if her ID is accidentaly blocked, can check her e-mail id if it is the correct one. apart from this i can think of what is causing this problem.

  • Can't send email to an icloud group in address book

    Hi
    I have set up some groups in icloud. I called one of these groups "Test", with only myself as a group member. In address book, when I right click to send email to "Test", it fires up a new email with the word Test in the email "to" field. If I try to send the email I get the error message "Test" doesn't seem to be a valid email address. It doesn't seem to be filling in the group email addresses in the "to" field.
    Am I doing something wrong?, or is this a known or unknown bug?
    I have other groups set up but I obviously don't want to send test emails out hence the test group "Test"
    Also when I edit the distribution list and right click the group name, "send email to "Test" is greyed out.
    Many thanks in advance

  • Can't send email from my personal pop3 account via my S5.  Receives mail fine.

    Hi,
    I have an S5 that I use to receive email from my personal email account (supplied by Primelink).  I can receive email fine, but can't send anything.  My SMTP server is mail.wgtest.com using port 465.  I am using K9 mail as my email app.
    I was told by Primelink that it's a Verizon Wireless issue.  Is there any way to respond to my emails from my phone?  I can send via my hotmail account, but then my hotmail sent message folder gets filled up and the reply to address always shows up as my hotmail address, not the wgtest.com address.
    How can I fix this problem?
    Thanks in advance!

    Thanks for the reply.
    I have tried using three different email apps and keep getting the message that it can't connect to the server.  I'm using the smtp address of mail.wgtest.com.  As I said, I can receive fine, but Primelink told me that Verizon won't let me send from my primelink account through their system.  They said I may have to use an smtp relaying service, which I've never heard of.

  • Can I import email addresses from a contact group into a new email?

    Import email addresses?  I'm trying to send an electronic invitation to a group of about 50 people.  I have to enter each of their email addresses, and rather than typing them one by one, I'm wondering if I can import all of their email addresses from a group I created in my Address Book.  I'm sending the invitation through the company's website, nut my email, so the email address does not appear when I start typing their names.  Thanks!

    Open a new message and start typing the groups name in the 'To' field works for me. Some e-mail providers have limits on how many addressees can be in one e-mail.

  • Why can't i syn my i phone contacts with my outlook   2010

    My I phone model no. Mc135ll will not sync the contact list with my outlook 2010 contact list. I've tried the standard procedure but for some reason the list will not transfer to outloook. I habe over 800 contacts on my I Phone but only 130 on Outlook. Help

    When the supported application on your computer includes contacts and the same with the iPhone, a merge prompt is provided with the first sync for this data along with a replace option - to replace on the iPhone with what is available in the supported address book app on your computer.   Were you provided the merge prompt?
    Is sync contacts with Outlook selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes?
    Any error message provided?

  • TS4143 Can't email to an iCloud contact group!

    This kind of defeats the purpose of the group email concept!  Any other ideas?  I don't have this problem with a couple of other groups I've created in the past but can't get one group to populate, instead the comma mentioned above appears.

    I am having the same problem.
    We do team sport photography. I just set up a new Group for a team. This helps us contact all members in a team at once.
    This worked flawlessly in June before I updated to  mac OS X (10.7.4), Now it does not recognize the group as several email addresses.
    This is VERY annoying. Any tips??

  • For some reason yesterday and today I can not send mail using the icloud website and help?

    From some reason I can not send emails using the icloud website.  Not sure why any help

    Hi there tamarafromdarien,
    You may find the troubleshooting steps for iCloud Mail in the article below helpful.
    iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Mail
    If you can't send mail in OS X Mail
    If you receive this alert or a similar alert when sending a message from your iCloud email address in OS X Mail:
    “This message could not be delivered and will remain in your Outbox until it can be delivered. The reason for the failure is: An error occurred while delivering this message via the smtp server: server name.”
    In OS X Mail, choose Preferences from the Mail menu.
    Click Accounts in the Preferences window.
    Select your iCloud account from the list of accounts.
    Click the Account Information tab.
    Choose your iCloud account from the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) pop-up menu. Example: “Derrick Parker (iCloud)”.
    Note: The Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) menu also includes an Edit SMTP Server List command. If you choose this command, be aware that the iCloud SMTP server won't be among the servers that can be edited. This is normal.
    If you're attaching a large file
    Message attachments can't exceed the maximum size allowed by your email service provider or the recipient's email service provider. The maximum size varies by service provider. Try compressing the filebefore sending it, or send your message without the attachment to verify that there are no issues with sending.

  • Can not send email from Mac, iPhone, or iPad using mail using iCloud.

    I can send email from the icloud web page but I get error messages that the icloud outgoing server is not recongized when I send email from my iphone, ipad and Mac mail.  I can receive icloud email okay on all devices.  I have manully setup a icloud server per instructions on icloud support page for mail's outgoing server name.  It still is not recongized.

    I found a work around that works.   Got to Settings...Icloud....account......advanced....outgoing mail server.....
    Add an "other" server.
    Host Name p01-smtp.mail.me.com
    Put in your me.com email address as username and your Apple ID password
    SSL is on
    Authentication is password
    Server port 587
    This worked for me.....I will use this until the bug is fixed.     Don't make this server your primary.   Leave it in "on" status in the other category.
    Good luck

  • Can't send email from iCloud accounts on Mac

    A few hours ago I couldn't login and receive email to my icloud accounts this appears to have been fixed but I still cant send email. I've checked all passwords in preferences.
    I can login to icloud via the browser and send email Ok.
    I can send email from my iCloud accounts on my iPhone.
    But can't send mail using Sparrow or Mac Mail on the desktop.
    This all seems to have happened since I installed the latest security update.

    Using smtp.mail.me.com - also tried smtp.me.com
    SSL yes
    port 587
    SMTP Authentification Yes
    Security SLS/TLS - also tried STARTTLS
    User full **@me.com email address - also tried user name without @me.com
    I have spoken to apple support this afternoon and we tried the variations shown above.
    Support told me to wait for a day and try again!
    After the iCloud authentication problem last night I changed all my passwords I wonder if there is an SMTP problem at me.com perhaps not reading the updated passwords?
    I'll try and use the old passwords later.

  • Can I send email using my own domain address with iCloud the way I can with gmail?

    Let's say I own mydomain.com and have a [email protected] email account.  I have set that up to forward to gmail, and that would be easy to switch to iCloud.  Here's the tricky part: gmail allows me to send email as [email protected]  I've been doing this for years and it works, but I'd like to switch from gmail to iCloud.  Can I set up this same behavior with an iCloud @me.com address (which I already have but haven't been using yet)?  I know I can obviously switch the forwarding of incoming mail to my @me.com address...  but can I send [email protected] email through iCloud the way I can with gmail?  All of my devices are Apple: a Mac Mini using Apple's Mail app, and an iPhone and an iPad both using the Apple email app, so I'd rather switch everything over from gmail to iCloud.
    P.S.  Awe, c'mon Apple.  Don't turn those fake addresses into links.  I just used them for the sake of giving an example.

    Ah, I should have made that clear.  My domain didn't come from google.  It was purchased at and is hosted at dreamhost, but I haven't used their email servers in years - I just route everything through gmail.  I actually have a bunch of domains (with websites).
    Gmail has an option that lets someone with custom domains send (and receive) email through gmail using the custom domain once Google confirms proper ownership of the domain (to prevent spammers and such).  Gmail has a setting for "send email as" which allows gmail to be sent using a custom domain as the sender.  I'm pretty sure Apple's old mobileme had this feature too, but I didn't use it.

  • HT204150 Installed latest iCloud version today and now Outlook can't send emails any more

    Somehow the iCloud plugin in Outlook marks every email in the out-tray as "not ready to send".
    But only when the out-tray is being displayed. Hence one workaround would be to have any other
    tray/folder open while sending emails.
    Does anyone know how I can fix this?
    For now, I disabled the iCloud PlugIn and can send emails again.

    Uninstall iCloud, reboot, reinstall iCloud.
