How do you specify which email address to use in a group list?

Hi All,
I've got several group lists created in Address Book. When I want to send an email to a group using Mail I cannot specify which email address gets used for a person that has multiple addresses in Address Book.
My process is as follows: create a new blank message, address the note to myself, move to the bcc field, click the "Address" button at the top of the message pane. When I click on a name that has multiple email addresses I can click on the one that I want, but when I click to another name and click back the previously selected address is highlighted again. It seems that the selection of the address won't 'stick'. Is there any way to force the selection? Also, I originally thought that the group list defaulted to the home address, but I noticed that some entries have their work address selected by default.
Thanks for any help.
-Chris

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I knew there was an option to do that somewhere. For some reason I had it in my mind that you made those selections in Mail.

  • Contacts: Specify which email address to use in Contact Group?

    I have a few mailing lists that I keep in Contacts. However, I have multiple email addresses for some of these contacts. When I send an email to the list, the wrong email address will be used for some of the contacts.  Is it possible to specify a default email address for a contact? Or a way to specify which email address of a contact should be used for each Contact group?
    Thanks!

    Yes.
    So select the group in Contacts. Then choose Edit->Edit Distribution List... and you can pick which of the emails you want to use for the group in question.
    It took me a while to find it, but I've done it before so I managed to turn it up

  • TS3988 how do you change the email address associated to my account

    how do you change the email address associated to my account

    Your description doesn't make it entirely clear what you are trying to do. Your Apple ID - which you use to log in to iCloud - is a non-Apple email address and you can change this. You may also have a 'rescue' address (advisable) which is a non-Apple email address and you can change that. The @icloud.com address you set up when you opened the iCloud account can not be changed, but has nothing directly to do with Hotmail (other than that being the login).
    What you can do is add up to three 'email aliases' - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account. (In fact it's a good idea to give out alias addresses, rather than the main address, because if they attract spam you can easily change them.) (New aliases can only be @icloud.com ones; @me.com addresses cannot now be created.)
    You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account, move it to another account, or reactivate it if you delete it.
    More information on aliases here:

  • In a Smart Group in AddressBook 6.1, how do I designate which email addresses I want to use?

    In a Smart Group in AddressBook 6.1, how do I designate which email address I want to use for contacts who have more than one address when I'm mailing to the whole group? The "Edit Distribution List" is grayed out.

    Thanks, Barney, but that's not really my question. The "Edit Distribution List" is in the Edit menu on my version, too, but I can't use it to edit the email addresses of contacts who are in Smart Groups. In the version of AddressBook I was using before I bought a new MacBook Pro and upgraded to Mac OSX Lion, I could use the "Edit Distribution List" to pick which email address I wanted to use for contacts in Smart Groups with more than one address. Apparently that isn't an option in Lion. The Help menus for AddressBook 6.1 even say that "Edit Distribution Lists" doesn't work for Smart Groups.
    Okay. I get that. But some of my contacts have more than one email address, so how do I choose which email address I want Mail to use for these contacts when I send an email to a Smart Group they're in?

  • 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!
