How to easily create contact groups from MacMail

Here's my dilemma: I want to create a group contact that consists of 27 individuals. The email addresses of these contacts are contained in one email that someone sent me. In order for me to put each contact into a group, I have to go through an exasperating number of steps which are
1) click on the email address, which brings me a drop down menu
2) select "Create Contact"
3) Go to Address Book and type in the name of that contact, then click save
4) Go to the menu to select the "View by Group"
5) Pull the contact into that group
In SnowLeopard, the Address Book allowed one to see in one window the groups, contacts, and new form, so that I didn't have to vascillate between the different views. Is there anything like that in Lion? If I have to do this for 27 new contacts, this is really going to wear out my patience! Thanks in any advance for any suggestions.

Use Mail Scripts' Add Addresses script. It seems to work under Lion, but very slowly. I had to let it run several minutes before it put up the dialog to select addresses and add to a Group.

How do I create a group of e-mail contacts for my iPhone, iPad

How do you create contact groups for e-mail for iPhone 3GS AND IPAD 2 ?

GContacts is for both the iPhone and iPad. It can be found in the US App Store. Don't know what country you're in so I can't say for sure you can find it in your App Store. If you do a search on "contacts" in your App Store you should be able to find some contact manager apps.
There is a way to create a contact with a group of email addresses.
1. In Notes app create a list of email addresses separated by a comma. Example [email protected],[email protected] Highlight the list and copy.
2. In Contacts create a new contact and give it the name of the group you want.
3. In the email field paste the list of email addresses.
Note: you are probably wondering why you have to copy and paste the addresses into the email field. If you try to type the list into the email field, you will find that there is no way to type a comma in this field.
4. Save the contact.
5. When you create an email, select the group entry from contacts.
You may get a message that the email address is invalid, but ignore the error, because the email should still be sent to all addresses.

Olga, this is not a default feature in iPhone. You need a 3rd party application. I have created a free one, Easy Group, for group texting and group emailing.

Create your group on your computer, and sync it on your iPhone. But you cannot use this group for texting. You need an application for this. Easy Group is a free one I have developped.

How do i create a group contact on iphone4

Hi, how do I create a group contact on the iPhone 4 when sending group text and group emails?

Hi
600 for my work
Note that many email providers place limits on how many people you can address with a single email. 100 contacts is a typical limit (for iCloud.com, Gmail.com etc.) In that case no app will let you send a single email to that many contacts at once, and you should consider an online service such as mailchimp.com
If your groups are less than 100, or your provider does not impose a limit, I'd like to suggest our "MailShot Pro" app, which has been one of the top-selling group email apps for over a year. Unlike most other group email apps, it creates special contacts for your groups which you can then use directly from Mail, and tens of thousands of other compatible apps. Over 250,000 people are now using it, and it is always ranked highly in search results for group email apps.
You can find it on the App Store here:MailShot Pro
A free version is also available, for creating a few small groups. MailShot (Note that certain other apps marketed as "free" will similarly only let you send to small groups without an upgrade)

Adding or deleting email addresses from the iPad group:
Easiest: Alter the original mac group in the usual way and repeat steps 1-14 above. It seems impossible to edit within the emai line of the iPad contact entry.
Rediculously simple once figured out.
Happy emailling, but please send Bcc so that you don't spread your groups' email addresses all over the internet for spam, viruses, and other unwanted emails. Be considerate and ask your recipients to notifiy you if they wish to be deleted from the lists you compose.

How do I add multiple emails to a Contacts group from a file?

I have a weekly newsletter I send out to a few hundred people. Their email addresses are all stored in a text file. I want to create a Group to use with Mac Mail, but I don't know how to import the list into an existing Group. I tried creating a CSV file with only the email addresses (that's all I have), but Contacts wouldn't import it, didn't recongize the file as CSV. (I did add a comma to the end of each email.)
How do I create a Group in Contacts? And can I then use that group in Mac Mail?
thanks
Scott

I did figure this out, sort of, by adding a tab character to the beginning of each email address in my text file. Contact then let me import it, and I could select the field for the email address. So I've imported my list as a group of 700+ emails.
BUT now when I try and add that Group in the To: or Cc: or Bcc: fields in mail, it just disappears when I type it.
Any idea what's up with that?
thanks
Scott

How do I create a group contacts with the iPad ?

If you set up groups in iCloud, a contact can also belong to multiple groups. And no work around or mispurposing of a field needed. You can also filter a group without using the search function. Plus, your contacts are backed and available via another avenue if needed.
Not questioning your solution - I'm sure it works - but the functionality exists within the design.

You cannot create them directly on the iPhone. You can do it via iCloud:

I don't think so. My iPhone is setup to use Exchange server. My contacts have several categories. But all of the contacts show up. If you are a Mac user and create groups in Mac Address book, you can view by group.
