Sending an email to all email addresses for a contact in a Group

I recently compiled a Group of contacts so that I could send out a Christmas email. These days most people have more than one email address. From what I understand, Mail will send it to the first email listed on their Address Book card. What if I wanted to send the email to all of their emails listed on their card? Is that possible?

Another suggestion is to have multiple groups which feed a "master" group. For example, Jane Doe has two email addresses (home and office) which I need to use in a single email message.
I create a master group calling it "Soccer". For the Distribution List, I use Jane's home email for Group 1 and Jane's work email for Group 2. I then drag and drop Group 1 and Group 2 into the "Soccer" group.
This isn't perfect, but it doesn't require you to have duplicate contacts.
Hope this helps someone.
very ingeneous!

  • Adding multiple email address for same contact to mail group

    Is it possible (in Apple Mail) to add a second email (work) address for a contact to an email group, how?

    Sorry, but Address Book does not allow you to select more than one email address to send to in a group. There's really no reason why people need multiple copies of a message, anyway; they have the option of forwarding email to another email address of theirs.

  • Multiple addresses for one contact in a Group

    I need to add a work address and a home address for ONE contact in my address book to a group. How can I do this without expanding the group and manually adding the other address? I don't want to have to expand the group. Thanks for any assistance.

    Rather than dragging the card in from the Address Book, start typing the person's name. Mail will give you a pop-up menu on choices. Pick one. Then repeat and pick the other. This is less convenient if you want to put someone in a group and send to both addresses in the group... in that case, V.K.'s solution is the best you'll do.

  • How do I add multiple email addresses for a contact to a group?

    (I'm a recent convert from eMailer to Outlook Express, to Entourage, and finally to Mail.app)
    I'm trying to set up a group in Address Book that includes multiple email addresses from a given card. These are folks that want me to include, for example, both their work and home email addresses when I send to this particular group.
    I see that Address Book has the ability to use "Edit Distribution List..." to select one email address for a given card/contact, but I can't get it to allow me to use two or three for a given card.
    I suppose for now I can just create a duplicate card, and pick one address from each.
    Is there a better way?

  • How to make a distribution list that includes all email addresses for each contact?

    Is it possible to create a distribution list that allows you to select all possible email addresses for each contact within a group? I am running into the problem that I can only select one email address for each contact, but need multiple. How can this email list be generated using the Contacts app and Mail?

    You can't with the way it currently works.
    I've never tried, but you might try multiple groups, each with a different email selected.
    I think I created an Applescript that would grab every address of every selected person and address an email. It is probably buried in the bowels of these forums.

  • How do i send emails to all email accounts in a group?

    I have multiple email addresses for contacts that are in a group.  It seems I can only select one of the emails to use per distribution.  I want to send the email to all accounts listed for the contact.  Is this possible?  I dont want to have to go and create multiple contacts for each individual. 

    Hi, have you tried dragging the Group to the BCC: field?
    Many mail servers have a limit though, like 50 or so.

    I have a new iPad. I am using Comcast as my email provider but when I send a message, it pulls up the facebook email addresses for my  contacts  instead of the addresses stored in my comcast account.  How can I get rid of the Facebook email addresses? The comcast addresses are stored in the comcast (xfinity) app.  I do not use the "mail" or "contacts" apps ....I go straight to comcast (xfinity).  I wish I could start over!!!  thanks.
    iPad

    I could be wrong, but it sounds like Facebook imported to your contacts.  I have the Xfinity app on my new ipad, too, but none of my stored contacts from the online version are showing, only what I manually entered into the iPads contacts are there.  When I did add the FB app, I did not grant it permission to push and pull from my ipad (not a fan of FB knowing every detail about me), so that may be where our difference lies.  You could try to open the app and change your privacy settings, or delete it and then reinstall without granting permissions to integrate.
    I'm sure someone here with a lot more knowledge then me can probably diagnose your issue better, though.  Good luck!

  • Apple mail out of office rule is sending auto replies to all emails not just newly received emails--HELP!

    Apple mail out of office rule is sending auto replies to all emails not just newly received emails--HELP!  I set up the rule according to another apple support thread and instead of only sending the reply to new mail received, it was sent to all messages I believe that were in my INBOX, thankfully I only had a few but several people that hadn't sent me emails since I set up the rule, received the OUT OF OFFICE reply.  Please help.  Here is the procedure I followed for the out of office rule-

    I just used my email account which is a business account- not an ECU account but these rules according to the apple thread apply for all emails. Thank you

    You can set it easily...
    To access this feature in Apple's Mail app, right click on any sub-folder (like your exchange inbox on the left) and choose "Get Account Info." A window will pop up that looks like the one below. Make sure to select your Exchange account from the Account dropdown. Then click on the Out Of Office tab. If you have ever put in an Out of Office message in the past it will be displayed here. You can adjust and set your Out of Office from Apple Mail from within this tab.

  • Need second email address for a contact

    I need the ability to add a second email address for a contact. I have tried using ";" and "," characters in the email address line, but get an invalid data format error when saving. Short of adding a custom field, is there any way to do this?

    Neil, I believe your only option is adding a custom field.

  • Serious problem with the Q10 wiping out all my emails on all email accountson BB & Servers

    having been using the BBQ10 for 10 days now and finally getting use to it and enjoying it.  I have been using BB's for years because I like it for my business.  But I work up today to find ALL my emails on all email accounts wiped out.  All texts and phone logs wiped out.  Ok could live with that BUT because of the new BB10 software that contacts you to  your email servers any changes you make with an email on your BB changes on your computer.  that means that every single emails on all my email accounts contacted to the BB have been deleted.  Saved emails, sent emails, new emails.  Everything.  I spoke with BB and was told they are aware of the problem and are sorry.  but i just lost thousands of dollars worth of orders because of this problem.  Anyone else have this problem?  any help?  
    On my old BB's there was a thing called Blackberry Protection and I had it set up to back up all data everday.  Now the Blackberry Protection on the Q10 and Z10 are for find your phone if you lose it.  It no longer backs up your data.  That is so stupid.  If I still had that I would not have lost all my info.   
    any thoughts or suggestions?  how can I keep the Q10 now if I cant' be sure it won't delete all my data anytime it feels like?

    yes, me too. gave my device back to shop but really loved q10 and would like to buy again when problem is solved. lots of users are reporting about this problem but blackberry dont care.

  • Address Book/Mail: sending to two addresses from one contact in a group

    I would like to send an e-mail to two addresses from address book, but it is only one contact/family name. It seems it only lets you pick one for a group. Does anyone know how to pick multiple e-mail address for one contact name/family in a group so I don't have to manually look up each name?
    Thank you!

  • Selecting different email addresses for a contact

    On my iPad, I have several contacts that have multiple email addresses. When I try to send an email, it always brings in the first email for that contact and doesn't seem to offer a way to select the alternate addresses. Is this doable?

    Don't be upset...this is very easy to do. Go to your Address Book -> hoghlight a contact and click Menu button -> Edit -> click Menu button and select Add Email Address. You Done!!
    You can add up to 3 email addresses.

  • Email multiple email addresses for one contact within Group email

    I have a contact card within a Group that has 2 email addresses. When sending out mass emails I want to send it out to both of the addresses for that one contact card; however, when I put the persons name in the address bar in mail, it only defaults to one of them. How can I fix this without creating multiple contact cards for the same person?  Thanks for your help!!!

    Hi, I'm not positive, but I don't think you can.
    I'd maybe keep a little text snippet of the 2 email addies to copy/paste in the TO: feild, or the BCC: feild is better.

  • How to check emails of all email account in one Inbox Folder?

    I have more than one email account, If I setup my gmail, yahoo, Hotmail, ymail accounts in Mozilla Thunderbird Email Client, then I see separate inbox for each account, and to check email I have to go inbox of each account for checking email of that account.
    Is it possible that I see all emails of my all email account in one inbox window, as well one sent folder for all email account, one spam / one trash / one delete / one important folders etc.... for all email account.
    pls adv.

    There is a quick method.
    * View >Folders > Unified.
    This will show eg:One Inbox containing all account inbox emails. It will also show the various account Inboxes shown as sub folders, so that you can also see the various Inboxes individually.
    If you have Pop mail accounts, then they can be amalgamated into one Local Folder Inbox.
    Go into 'offline' mode - (do not synchronize - that is for IMAP accounts.) This stops any further downloading to Pop mail account.
    You would need to move all of your emails into Local Folder Inbox and other Local Folder folders.
    Then change the type of account.
    * Tools -> Account Settings -> Server Settings
    * click on the "Advanced" button.
    * select 'Global Inbox (Local Folders Account)'
    * click 'OK'.
    Exit Thunderbird and restart before you download anything.
    there are other options mentioned at this link, plus info on Global Account.

  • How to copy the same address for multiple contacts in Address Book?

    Hi! I got a question, I didn't find an answer for yet.
    How to copy the post address from one contact to another, without manual entering. I mean if I have one contact with already entered post address, can I just copy it someway at once to another contact?
    I don't want cards to merge, I need separate contacts, that may have different phones, e-mails, but the same post address. Please, advise.

    Thanks! yes, this is a solution I'm following now. But I was wondering about the similar way as it is made in Daylite or Contactizer - you create company with name and post address first, and then can create a contact for that company. And company name and post address will appear in contact name.
    I just wonder why such a simple and useful solution isn't available in Address Book as default.
    I know there are many scripts written for Address Book. Maybe there is something for this purpose?
