Mail: Large address groups

Is there a way to make a large group of e-mail addresses easily? (i.e. - around 50 e-mail addressses of newsletter subscribers) I don't want to make a card for each address, but need to be able to send bulk e-mail out. (By easily, I am referring to Outlook Express 5, where you can copy and paste a list of 50+ addresses in one copy/paste movement out of Excel and into the address list).

No, Address Book doesn't currently support something like this. It only has group support which requires creating a card for each person.

Trouble composing e-mail to address groups stored in iCloud.

Hello,
Here's the synopsis of my problem:
My address book contacts and groups are being stored in iCloud.
If I vew a group in Address Book and go to the Edit menu, "Edit Distribution List" is greyed out.
If I right click a group name and select the option to send e-mail to that group, I see a new message window but the address headers are empty.
If I go to the "to" field in a new message and try to type in a group name, it will autocomplete the name for me, but the moment I let it complete the name for me, the name disappears and I'm left with an empty "To:" header again.
I'm running Mac OS X 10.7.2 Lion.   Address Book version 6.1 (1062).   Mail version 5.1 (1251/1251.1).
It could very well be that this doesn't have anything to do with iCloud at all, but this seemed to be a reasonable place to start looking.    Any help appreciated.

As soon as I posted the question, I found this related discussion which seems to contain a workaround:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3387191?start=15&tstart=0
It appears you need to have at least one group "On my mac" before you are allowed to use groups in iCloud.   It's a bug.

Cannot send mail to a group if hiding addresses

I can't send mail to a group unless I show all member addresses. If I uncheck this preference I recieve the following error dialogue:
This message could not be delivered and will remain in your Outbox until it can be delivered.
Sending the message content to the server failed.
Very frustrating and infuriating for my reciepients. Any ideas?

Thank you Klaus,
In mail help, Bcc is indicated as an alternative to unchecking the box saying show names in group when sending. Any ideas as to why the preference doesn't work?

Address Group into Mail

Since I installed Snow Leopard, when I go to my mail to send a New Message I used to be able to open the address book in New Message to put in my group mailings with one click. Now that doesn't work. It only takes the 1st name in the group. Now What
Thanks
Dave

I had similar problems. In Leopard, I used to be able to just drag one or more Groups from the Address Book to the address field in the Mail message, and it would go in unexpanded, as per the Preference I have set in Mail. With Snow Leopard, when I do this all the individual addresses go into the address field PLUS the unexpanded Group.
However, I found that if I Select the group in Address Book, Copy it, then Paste it into the Mail message address field, all is well. That is, the Group goes into the field unexpanded, and the individuals in the group all receive the message with "To: Undisclosed Recipients" as I intended.

When I send an e-mail to a group address, from my address book, I get an error messageI get an error message that one of them is not a valid e-mail address, although I have used it alone without any problem.

Importing Address Groups from Outlook Express 5 (Mac) to OS 10.3 Mail

I've successfully imported all my emails and email folders from Outlook Express (Mac) to Mail. The contacts imported into my Address Book, but not collected into their groups. I need those address groups!
Thanks for any pointers you can offer.

Very Large Spacing Issue In Both Mail And Address Book!!

Hello,
I need your help to resolve this problem. Initially I had a problem with garbled font in my Mail application. I used FontNuke in an attempt to resolve the problem. The result of using FontNuke was that the font was un-garbled but now I have very large spacing in the Mail and Address Book applications. Also the circles on the left side of the Mail application (that normally indicate the number of unread messages you have) are also very large!! the same thing is happens with the red star on the Mail icon that indicates the number of unread messages you have.
I would really appreciate any help that you can provide!
Thanks,
SydCam

Thanks for following up so quickly. I took your advice and checked my fonts. I opened Font book and got rid of all the "duplicate" fonts and made sure that I had all of the required fonts. I then rebooted and when I went back to Mail and the Address Book, I still had the same problem. There are still very large spaces in my email both in the header and body. The circle to the left that indicates how many un-read email you have is still very large. It is over sized. I wish there was a way I could show you a screen capture so you can see what exactly what I'm referring to.
Obviously there is something that I'm missing, but I just don't know what it is. I would greatly appreciate any help that you (or anyone else) can provide!
Thanks in advance!

Exchange 2010 Mail Enabled Distribution Group Won't Receive from External Address

Let me pre-empt the usual first response: yes, I've unchecked "require that all senders are authenticated" on the Message delivery Restrictions properties of Message Delivery Restrictions. I cannot get a message from an external mail server to
send to an internal mail-enable distribution group. It's working internally. I've checked our ironport and the message is being sent to exchange (at least I think it is).
How can I troubleshoot this?!

Switching from Entourage to Mail: use Entourage Groups?

I'm attempting to switch from Entourage to Mail and Address Book (not least because of the attractions of smart folders, etc), but I can't figure out how or if I will be able to send occasional email mailshots to large groups of people.
I run an occasional newsletter in email format. Because the list is very large, it wouldn't make sense to set up individual vCards for each individual email address on the list, and yet that seems to be the only way to email all the members of a group using Mail and Address Book.
With Entourage, on the other hand (and I would dearly love to wave goodbye to it in all other respects) I could set up a Group exactly as I would set up an individual contact, then copy the entire list to it, and could even add occasional new email addresses whenever I liked or delete others as they opted to leave the group.
Am I missing something in Mail / Address Book, or will I have to cut and paste into the To: box my entire long list each time I need to send a mailshot? (And doing that would involve using a word processor or text editor in order to manage the list, which is adding yet another programme to what should be a pretty simple task...)
Many thanks for any advice anyone can offer.
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Yes. Importing your mail from Entourage does not affect the Entourage database.

Help I would like to send an e-mail to a group of people, I have the group created, but when I drag it to bcc or to- it will not attach. can anymon help me with this?

In a new email message window start to type the name of the Group you have in Contacts/Address Book in the 'To' field - it should self-complete when it recognises the name.
(Note: this only works with 'normal' Groups and not Smart 'Groups').

Mail and Address book playing up

Hello. I am having problems with my Mail and Address book. For some reason, sent mails sometimes do not end up in the Sent folder, received emails sometimes go to the Trash without me sending them there, and I often have to resort to "Search" in the top right hand corner of the screen to find the mail I am looking for. What's more, my address book has stopped working properly: I can create groups but each group shows the general contact list by its side, even upon creation! I cannot add or delete from the group list. Basically, it seems like the two programes have gone all wonky tonky. This may or may not have to do with the recent Security Update 2012-001 Bricks Rosetta problems. I posted here in that regard but since the problems I noticed disappeared of their own accord, I did not bother reinstalling all as suggested. Reinstalling everything is simply too much hassle for me ... I use address book a lot and need things to work. Does anyone have a quick fix for this? Could this be caused by the faulty Apple January update? thank you in advance!

You should back up what you have.
Then, restart from your Mac OS X Installation Disk (insert disk and hold down C key during startup). At the first Installer screen, run Disk Utility from the menu. Use both the Repair and Repair Permissions routines on the hard drive. Do Repair first, because you problem sounds like a disk directory issue. If Disk Utility cannot make the repair, you may need a tool like DiskWarrior or TechTool Pro.

Mail and Address Book crashing, system very slooooow in general

Not to confuse possibly separate issues, but my iMac 20 has been running slower and slower lately (continually watching the little technicolor beach ball spin), now both Mail and Address Book are crashing immediately upon attempting to start up.
Separate issues? Part of the same? And most importantly, what do I do?
Thanks!

Problem was to many smart groups in my address book

Mail and Address book crash

This problem started right after a made a smart group within address book and then deleted it. Address Book and Mail will not even load now. They open but have to force quit. Address book open with 0 contacts (I should have ~300).
After searching for some help I did the following but still no luck:
Repaired Permissions via Disk Utility
Deleted com.apple.AddressBook.abd.plist and com.apple.AddressBook.plist from Library \ preferences
Under Library \ application support \ renamed AddressBook file to AddressBook.old
At this point I cannot recall what order I was doing these things but eached looked like they worked for some.
Is there anything else I can do? or a trick to the order in which I need to do them? Appreciate any help I can get on this.
Both Mail and Address Book open - as soon as I click on one thing it crashed and have to force quit.
Thanks

Try this - find the /Library/Preferences folder in your user/Home folder and then locate and delete this file:
com.apple.mail.plist
*Caution* - doing this may clear your account settings so be sure to note those first in the event you are required to reconfigure, etc.
If you can get Mail to open and not crash, the first thing to do is to use the 'Mailbox/Rebuild' menu.
If still no joy, do you have a backup of your mail folder(s) you can use as replacements?
Use it if you do, then perhaps use your SL DVD and do a custom install/applications.
I really think the problem is with your main inbox, tho - located in yourUsername/Library/Mail
If you don't have a backup, of your main inbox, copy it, rename it, temporarily abandon the original inbox and see if you can import the clone.

JES Messaging Server 6.0 will not accept mail alternate address

JES Messaging Server 6.0 will not accept mail alternate address
I have installed the Sun ONE Messaging server 6.0 as part of an evaluation of the Java Enterprise System. This was installed along with Directory Server 5.2 and Identity Server 6.1. During the installation I created a top level organization (o=internet) knowing that I would want to create multiple email domains within it and a default domain. After the installation was complete I used the User Management Utility (/opt/SUNWcomm/bin/commadmin) to create some users within the default domain. I provided each user with a primary email address ([email protected]) and an alternate email address (mailAleternateAddress = [email protected]).
In testing the system I find that the Messaging Server will not accept messages sent to the alternate email address whether sent from the same server (via Messenger Express) or from an external server. It returns the error message: 550 5.1.1 unknown or illegal alias.
In attempting to trouble shoot this problem I have watched the Directory Server's access log when such an email is sent. It shows a query using [email protected] even though the email message was sent to [email protected] In any event the DS finds the user, but the Messaging server rejects the message.
[date_time] conn=120 op=11 msgId=12 - SRCH base="o=domain.com,o=internet" scope=2 filter="(mail=[email protected])" attrs="preferredLanguage mail mailEq
uivalentAddress"
[date_time] conn=120 op=11 msgId=12 - RESULT err=0 tag=101 nentries=1 etime=0
[date_time] conn=120 op=12 msgId=13 - SRCH base="o=internet" scope=2 filter="(&(objectClass=sunManagedOrganization)(|(associatedDomain=host.domain.com)(sunPreferredDomain=host.domain.com)))" attrs=ALL
[date_time] conn=120 op=12 msgId=13 - RESULT err=0 tag=101 nentries=0 etime=0
Any suggestions to eliminate this problem would be appreciated.

Both the primary and alternate email addresses are the same as the domain of the user.
Here is what I want to do. Email is sent to a primary email server (not this machine). Mail for some users stays on that server to be read and mail for other users is moved to a geographically separate server (the one in question) by specifying that the mail be forwarded to the specific host: [email protected] > [email protected]
On this second server I want to host two (or more) independent email domains. I do not want one of the domains to be a subdomain of the other. So during the installation I used o=internet as the root suffix and then used a different default domain (representing one of the registered internet domains). After installation I used the commadmin tool to create a second domain so now I have what looks something like this:
o=internet,
__ou=People
__ou=Groups
__o=domain1
____ou=People
____ou=Groups
__o=domain2
____ou=People
____ou=Groups
I then created some users under domain1 and some under domain2 so one user's dn is:
uid=user, ou=people, o= domain1.com, o=internet.
Mail sent locally to user@ domain1.com gets delivered correctly, but sending to [email protected] does not.
host2.domain1.com is the fully qualified domain name of the server.
