Hide group member's email addresses
Does anyone know how to hide group member's e-mail addresses &/or names when sending a group contact email? I just want the Group Name to appear in the "to" section of the email. Thx

The short answer is 'you can't do that'
The long answer is:
A group is just a 'container' into which you place email addresses. As the servers which deliver the email need to use the individual email addresses to route mail, the contents of the group are separated into the constituent email addrsses, which are really what is in the To: field. Once the email reached it's destination, the receiving email system or client has no knowledge of the original group 'container', so all it can do is place all the email addresses in the original message in the appropriate (To:, CC:. BCC fields for display to the recipient...

I'm pretty sure I just discovered an issue that needs addressing.
To start, I have 1000+ contacts on my employer's MS Exchange server (with an Outlook client). I'm fairly proud of them, because of all the work I've put into them in terms of removing dupes, eliminating empties, etc. etc. etc. It's high maintanence.
Ever since I got my Pre, it's been grouping a whole slew of contacts (573 to be exact) under some random master contact. For a while, everything was under the IRS, and whenever someone dialed my phone, "IRS" popped up. Yikes! For a while, I was deleteing the master contact & remaking it, but the 573 would just group under some other seemingly random contact. These contacts are completely unrelated (at least to a human, they are). Currently, the master contact card is a guy named "Richard".
Well, I'm pretty sure I found out that what these contacts have in common: they have no email address. Outlook (once again) screws everything up by politely populating the empty email address field with "[No email address found]" (quotes not included). The Pre identifies these contacts as having the same email address, and therefore, eligible to be grouped by Synergy.
2 questions:
Microsoft, why do you do stupid crap like this?! You absolutely ruin things with verbosity. A missing piece of data tells the user as much as a present piece of data. You don't have to actually *say* "This piece of data is not present". It's obvious.
and
Palm, why didn't you know that Microsoft does stupid crap like this?! Don't you know the success of your product, maybe your company, is on the line?
I can't be the only one with this problem. Reply to this thread if this rings any bells for anyone else.
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)I ended up using the column view trick. Column view -> sort by email address -> click & delete every "[No email address found]" entry. In my experience, I've found that just putting in the digital elbow grease takes less time than using things like scripting.
I'm just sad that these things don't get designed well to begin with. I've got other very basic gripes about the Pre. I'm told it works much better with a Google account. I'd love to jump on that bandwagon, but work is using Exchange. You simply must must must work with Exchange sever since so many big corporations have drunk Bill Gates' Koolaid. But to provide buggy Exchange compatibility is risky, even moreso when your company's future depends on the success of your current device.
Palm is clearly getting into bed with Google at the expense of Microsoft. I suppose that's the way I'd go too, but for the time, Palm's buggy Exchange support sets up RIM to keep running the table with Blackberrys. If they had just done Exchange right, they would have double the sales they have now, and Apple and RIM would really have something to worry about. -
Multiple Groups, Same People, Multiple Different Email Addresses Per Group
I have some groups I need to set up, let's call them the GroupsIN, GroupsOUT and GROUPS.
These groups have the same members, two people with two and three email addresses respectively. Let's say their addresses are:
Rhonda Rodeo:
[email protected]
[email protected]
Clarissa Cowgirl:
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
This is how I'd like to set the groups up:
GroupsIN:
[email protected]
[email protected]
GroupsOUT:
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
GROUPS:
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
So, that's three groups with two persons and separate email groupings for each, one of which would contain all the email addresses for those persons.
I've looked in the archives and don't see anything that specifically addresses this and can't see an obvious way to do it in "Edit Distribution List". I could do it by creating new alternate names for each of these persons such as R Rodeo and C Cowgirl as group one, RRodeo and Ccowgirl for group two and Ronda Rodeo and Clarissa Cowgirl for group three, but I use the address book to sync my Palm phone and I don't want all those extra names and addresses in there and it would just get generally confusing that way.
Is there another way?
JoeLIf a Group member has more than one email address and you want to send to all email addresses for the member when addressing a message to the Group, the member with more than one email address needs to be copied within the Group for each email address.
If a Group member has 3 email addresses and you want to send to all email addresses for this member when addressing a message to the Group, this Group member must have 3 entries in the Group which can be done via copy and paste for the member within the Group and then use Edit Distribution list selecting a different email address for each Group member.
This is the only way that I'm aware of. -
How can I construct Group contact files of email addresses?
How can I construct 'Group' files of email addresses, i.e. the equivalent of files of multiple email addresses that are easily constructed in Outlook Express for sending an email to multiple people by simply entering the name of the file containing the email addresses to which one wishes to send a given email?
Unfortunately, you can't do that in the contacts app or in the mail app on the iPad. There are a couple of third party apps that I know that will do that for you. MailShot and Group Email With Attachments.

Hiding Recipient email addresses from view in a group email
I want to compose 1 email which I'll send to a group of 10 email addresses, but I don't want the list of email addresses to be included in the email the recipient receives when I send the email. Is this possible?
Actually, one doesn't even need to address it to one's self or anyone else in the "To:" line. If all recipients are "BCC'ed," the email shows up addressed "To: undisclosed recipients"

Hiding Individual Email Addresses in Mail Sent to Groups??
How can I send an email to a group without the email addresses of all group members being visible to all recipients of the email?
Well... that is the standard. Really it is.
What I generally do:
1. Send it to myself on the To: line, but I edit it so it looks like this:
To: (Distribution list surpressed) Fred Avolio <[email protected]>
2. Put the Group on the BCC: line.
If you use the group name -- for example, let's say it is My-Friends -- it would show up in the To: line (when delivered) as [email protected] It looks like a repliable address. But, it is not. It is a client-side aliase (your email client, your address book), not a server-side aliase.

I need to transfer my list of member's email addresses, to our new group Chairman's email. I use BT Yahoo. Any advice will be much appreciated. June J.
My bad. I misunderstood what you were trying to say.
If you have the email addresses listed in your contacts application on your computer, they should transfer over to the iPhone when you sync the iPhone with iTunes. Depending on how many contacts you have, you could enter the addresses manually. That's what I did, but I don't have a lot of contacts. -
Email address on my iMac screen
How can I delete or remove an email address that shows up in the middle of my iMac screen? I can not move or delete it and it shows through all program applications (Pages, Numbers, Background, etc.). It appears as soon as the Mail application is opened, and will then not go away.
Yes, the restart will eliminate the email address, but it will return as soon as the Mail application is opened after the restart.
In addition, I can go to Finder and click on "Hide Others" and the email address will disappear, but will reappear as soon as the Mail application is opened again. -
How do I copy all the email addresses in my Address Book quickly?
How do I copy all the email addresses in my Address Book quickly so that I can email a change of address?
From the Address Book help file:
Notify contacts when your vCard changes
When you change your contact information, you can send a group email message to your contacts. The message contains your updated vCard and a message from you.
1. If you don’t have a group of addresses, create one.
2. Choose File > Send Updates.
3. In the Send Updates dialog, select one or more groups to notify. If some contacts in the group have multiple email addresses, you can choose which address to use.
4. Type a subject title and a message, and then click Send. -
how can I send an email to a group in my address book, but hide the individual names and email addresses?
You used to be able to do this through leaving unchecked the box in preferences "when sending to a group show all member addresses". However, that feature failed some time ago (two or three years?) and the only way to hide the addresses now is to put the group in the BCC field.

Can an email address be a member of an LDAP group even if it isn't
associated with an object in the Directory Server?
<P>
General members of a group are the members defined in the
Directory Server. They are full-fledged members of the group who
may have a set of permissions associated with their membership,
a title, or other attributes. Mail-specific users are users who
are not full-fledged members of the group, but who receive mail
sent to the group. Mail-specific users need not be identified as
a user in the Directory Server--an email address is sufficient.
An example of this is a group of salespeople, all of whom are in
the group "North American Sales Team." They have access to a
sales-tracking database, on-line quota information, and
competitive information. The mail-specific users of this group
are the admins who support the members of the sales team, who need
to get the mail that goes out to the group, but don't need access
to the applications and information that the salespeople do.Hey EllyK,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
I would suggest performing this workaround and then try to login to BlackBerry Link:
Open BlackBerry World on the BlackBerry smartphone and sign in using the BlackBerry ID.
Connect the BlackBerry 10 smartphone to the computer.
Open BlackBerry Link
Sign in using the BlackBerry ID.
Let me know if the issue still persists.
Cheers.

When I send a Group message from my address book, the entire group gets listed in the "To" line. How do I get each member to receive the message individually without listing all members? Its just messy is all. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Hey Grupo Castillo,
Thanks for the question. You can actually configure this behavior from Mail preferences:
1. Choose Preferences from the Mail menu.
2. Click Composing.
3. Deselect the checkbox for "When sending to a group, show all member addresses".
When you send an email to the group, only the groups name will be seen.

How do I remove the grey "contact" selection highlight? This contact always appears as the email address for the address book group I want to send to.
The group is "undisclosed" there are 6 contacts in the group. The contacts are listed in 2nd column entitled "name", one of these contacts remains highlighted or selected in grey. I can't remove the grey selection of the contact. When you select the "undisclosed" group as the "to" address the contact highlighted in grey appears in the email address box. The group name should appear in the email box, but it doesn't. This began to happen after I upgraded to IOS 10.6.8. However I'm not sure that has anything to do with the problem? I do not have "show all member addresses selected." Your help is appreciated.

Controlling which email address is used for group members?
Howdy Folks,
Is there a way to control which email address is used for contacts that you have put into a group in Address Book?
For example, say John Smith is a member of an Address Book group I have created. John's Address Book entry contains two email addresses for him, one for work and one for home.
When I send an email to the group I want to have it sent to John's work email address.
I have experimented by editing the entry and making sure the desired address is the first one listed for the individual in question, but that doesn't do the trick.
Thanks in advance for any tips!

When using SBO mailer to emaill a distribution list from SAP Business One, is itpossible to hide the email adreeses? When i send an email about a promotion to a group of customer, i do not want customer A to see customer B's email address.
Hi Maeve..
I don't think it is possible becuase Bcc Option is not there when you send and email through SAP. But you may have Distrbution list group wise where you can send an email to a group but which will dsiplay each others mail ids.....
