How do I create a Distribution List in the Mail App?

I am a recent convert from MS Outlook on Windows. I am loving Apple's Mail, Address Book and iCal. But I am still learning how to do all the things I do everyday without even thinking.
I just want to create a Distribution list for each team of people I work with. There has got to be something I am overlooking...???

Thanks. I was hoping to find something other than Groups, because when you sync with a mobile device, it maps the groups to Categories in the device. This adds a lot of complexity to data and many mobile devices have some limitations on categories.
But thanks for the quick response!

  • How can I create email distribution lists in my contacts on my macbook air?

    How can I create email distribution lists in my contacts on my macbook air? I could do this on a pc using outlook, but I don't see how to do it on my new mac.

    UPDATE, ok, I figured out how to make a list, but how can I remove specific contacts from the list? The "Remove from Group" is greyed out & not available.

  • How do you delete a VIP mailbox from the mail app?

    How do you delete a VIP mailbox from the mail app?

    From Mail help:
    Make a sender a VIP
    To keep track of messages you receive from especially important people, make them VIPs in Mail. You can have up to 100 VIPs.
    To make someone a VIP, move the pointer to the left of the sender’s name in the message header and click the star that appears. You can also move the pointer over the sender’s email address, click the arrow that appears, and choose “Add to VIPs” from the pop-up menu.A mailbox for the VIP is added to the Favorites bar. For example, if you make Dad a VIP sender, his messages are displayed in a VIP mailbox titled Dad.
    To remove VIP status from a sender, click the VIP’s star in a message. The star is removed and the sender’s VIP mailbox is removed from the Favorites bar.
    If a VIP has several email addresses in Contacts, messages from any of those addresses will appear in the VIP’s mailbox.
    If you use iCloud Contacts, your VIPs are available on your other Mac computers that use iCloud Contacts and have OS X Mountain Lion installed.
    So to remove a VIP mailbox, you would have to remove all its people, and then exit mail.

  • How to enlarge when composing an email within the Mail app?

    How to zoom-in (enlarge, make look bigger) when composing an email in the Mail app?
    I am not interested in changing the resolution (which I am happy with).  For the most part I can just use Command and the "+" key when I cannot see something to enlarge the font, especially that of web pages.  This is also valid for reading incoming emails in the Mail app, too.  However, when I compose emails this functionality does not work.  I know I can actually increase the font but then I have to remember to decrease it before sending it (ridiculous step which one can easily forget about).  I know I can also transfer into Notes or Word but this is just extra unnecessary work.
    Is there a solution to this, so that I can only rely on the Mail application?
    Many thanks in advance!

    Howdy Lavi,
    It sounds as if what you want to do can be accomplished by using the Zoom control, one of the Mac operating system's Accessibility features. Using it you can quickly and easily make content either on the entire screen or just a small window larger and easier to see without affecting how the screen resolution or how the email will look when it is sent. See this article for Accessibility features -
    OS X Mavericks: Use accessibility features
    This article explains how to set up Zoom in System Preferences -

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • How do I remove a distribution list from Mac Mail's Previous Recipients list? 10.9.2

    I have a few pesky distribution lists that live on as ghosts. Distribution lists do not show up in Mail's Previous Recipients list. Any help as to how to remove them?
    The distribution lists I want to get rid of are not in my Contacs.
    Thank you,
    Rand

    Dear Allan,  Very interesting solutions to a stuck disk.  I'm going to keep it for future.
    I finally did get my disk out - because I started up using my Mtn.Lion BU (it's a Firewire) which I connected to my old MM late 2009.  There she was & I ejected it.
    And I did finally get my MM  2009 working again with Snow Leopard - with the great help from ds store.
    So now I have my Appleworks back too.   YAH!

  • How can I create an application shortcut in the KDE App Launcher?

    I installed Komodo Edit, and can run the application like this:
    cp to: /users/myuser/Software/Komodo-Edit-6/bin
    run: .komodo
    Is there a way I can add the shortcut icon to the the KDE App Launcher under Development?
    Thank you

    Please look up for *.desktop file structure, all you need to do is create a /usr/share/applications/komodo.desktop file with the appropriate content. You can start with any other desktop file as template.

  • How to block OLD email from arriving in the Mail app?

    Since upgrading to iOS 5 my Gmail account keeps filling with old messages. As fast as I clear them out more arrive. There are something in the order of 10,000 messages awaiting me apparently. How do I stop this? I want only new mail, not old mail.

    My user is getting notified of a "suspected spam" message via IronPort.  I have
    released 2 of these messages to her so that I can see what the message body says.  It is exactly what I posted in my original post.  The from field says"From: VIAGRA (c) Official Vendor [mailto:[email protected]] or From: VIAGRA (c) Direct Distibutor [mailto:[email protected]]
    I've done a search and can't find any emails to anyone in my company with Viagra in the from field.  The message body says:
    Having trouble reading this email? View it in your browser
    I guess I could create a Content Filter for Message Body, but would I just put "Having trouble reading this email? View it in your browser"? 
    Do I need to seperate each word somehow?  When putting multiple words into a content filter, how do I seperate them, or do I need to seperate them?

  • Creating a distribution list

    How do I create a distribution list in mail ?
    I have 50 or so email address (not in my address contact book) that I need to send emails to on a regular basis.
    So far I have just copied and pasted them into my mail program but as the names change monthly there must be a better way.
    I can see you can create a distrution list out of contacts in contacts app but how this does not seem to allow me to make a group just from email address I have.
    any ideas please.
    thanks

    Hi
    I have created a group but where do I add the email address. ?
    I use icloud for contacts etc.
    I have the group open but i cant seem to paste the email addresses anywhere.
    If I add it to the mail address using edit, it only adds the first email address
    Its probably me but any pointer please.
    thanks

  • Unable to create a distribution list

    Hi all,
    I am trying to create this distribution list for a report and I am getting this error
    "The required entry variables in query ZABC_DEF_Q001 are not filled".
    When I click on this error I get another message Notification number RSRD 250.
    Also apart from the above mentioned error, this is the warning I am getting:
    The broadcast setting is not correct and has not been saved 
      Notification Number RSRD 160 
    I opened this query from query designer and there are warnings for 2 calculated Key Figures
    Avg - Receipt Val and
    Avg Receipt Qty.
    The warning for both of them is
    Invalid value 0 for property 'Ref. characteristic' of element 'Average Receipt Value'.
    But inspite of the error and warning mentioned above the query is running perfectly from Query Designer. But I don't understand why am I not able to create the distribution list for this report.
    Please advise where the problem is and how do I create the distribution list for this particualr report?
    Thank you.

    Hi Pavan,
    Did you get the solution.
    I am also facing the same problem,

  • How to set up text distribution list

    I found out how to set up an email distribution list without buying an app but now I need to know how to do the same with sending texts, without buying an app and by associating a contact to it. I don't want to send a group text and only access that group by pulling up the text screen. All I want to do is assign a few numbers to a group name and use that group name to send a next message to the recipients. Any ideas?

    Since a phone number field in Contacts does not have the ability to delineate between numbers, probably not. Theoretically, I suppose it could work if applied for recipients getting iMessages AND using email as the receive address, but hard to say. But for SMS texting, no.

  • How do I create an email list sign up form for my iWeb website?

    Well that's the question - how do I create an email list sign up form for my iWeb website?
    Could someone tell me what's the simplest way using iWeb to create an interactive option
    for users to enter their email address and the info be forwarded to me so I can add to an
    email list?
    It would be great if, since I'm using a Mac computer & iWeb, there was a way to have the
    submitted emails automatically added to a group in my Mac Addressbook.
    I got this MacBook Pro in Sept 2010 so I believe that's iWeb '08 I'm using.
    Anyway I'm thinking there should be a way to do this with some system involving an HTMK
    Widget and an email account.
    By the way this is for hosting through a 'real server', not MobileMe (which I plan to get later
    when I can afford it).
    Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
    Mark

    Website forms require some code in a snippet and a formmail.php script on the server to process the form and send the info to the required email address. You can do all this when you switch to a "real" server.
    In the meantime you can use a form  or marketing service or, better still, an application like MailShoot which generates the form, handles the database and sends out the bulk emails.

  • How do I create an unordered list with three items and link to id's

    How do I create an ordered list with three items and linl to id's on my page

    Thanks, I guess what I was really asking, Is there a n option in the insert menu or somewhere where Dreamweaver does it for you.
    I am not clear on what you are wanting DW to do for you?  Is it that you want it to insert a three item unordered list?  No - there's no such function.  You would need to click in Design view where you want the list to go, click on the bulleted list icon on the Property inspector, and then enter the three items separated by carriage returns.  Then you'd have to link each item specifically.
    To enter the named anchors to element ID values, CS5 has no way to do this.  You'd have to enter those links manually.

  • Creating a Distribution list for iPhone using Outlook

    I use Microsoft outlook for contacts and have multiple "Distribution lists" that I send information to. The DL's are not syncing with my iPhone. I need to send group emails and am having to put each name in individually. Is there a way, using Outlook that I can create a "Distribution list", have it sync with the phone, select that group and send an email to all the contacts on the DL

    My address book groups in the Address Book on my Mac are synced and available on my iPhone, but addressing an email or an SMS to an address book group or distribution list is not supported - at the present time anyway.

  • How do I create different contacts lists for two iphone/users?

    How do I create different contacts lists for two iphone/users?

    Sorry. This doesn't make a lot of sense. Each iPhone user should have their own cloud accounts with which to sync contacts.
    The iPhone is not a multi-user device.
