Sending group emails in Mail 2.1

I'm having trouble (and have been for some time) sending group emails from my Address book. If there are more than a dozen or so in the Bcc box, it takes a long time for anything to get sent (usually not sending out at all). Yes I have an address in the 'to' box, and a group in the bcc box, but if my group numbers are high (let's say 50-100), it just won't send.
I've read a number of the dicussions about this over the years, and cannot find a solution.
If anyone has a solution, please advise. I don't want to switch to Entourage or any other program... I like Mail... just not this part.
Thanks in advance.

I'm also having trouble with sending large group emails.
Band invitations, specifically.
I'm also unable to export my .mac addresses into excel and I find that most mass email programs can't import .mac addresses.
Does anyone have a solution/good way to
1) use .mac to send emails to groups of 100-1000?
2) way to export .mac addresses into excel?
Thanks!

  • Sending Group emails on Mail via Gmail

    Can anyone help?
    If i send an email (Gmail account) to a group from my contacts on Mail it is rejected. If I copy the address' and do exactly the same thing but directly through Gmail web page, it goes through.
    Any ideas on a fix for this?
    Many thanks,

  • How to send group emails from ipad

    How to send group emails from ipad

    Thanks.  So matters haven't changed.  Ipad and iohone systems still not make use of the groups created in OSX Contacts, although one can "see" the groups synced through iCloud.  They just do not function as real distribution lists in Mail.
    With the Mailshot app, one creates Mailshot groups with Mailshot group name.  It's as smooth as a work around can get.
    Silly that Apple iOS folks never got around to connecting the contact groups now listed in iOS Contacts through iCloud syncing to also be fully functional in iOS Mail for the purpose of group emailing. 

  • I need to send group email and forward group email?

    I need to send group emails and forward group emails and dont find that capability with ipad or iphone

    There are quite a few group emailing apps available, but most will not allow you to forward an email, as they can only send new emails written within their own app.
    MailShot Pro, uniquely, adds group email to your device so you can send to your groups directly from the standard Mail app. This allows you to forward an email, with any attachments intact, right from Mail.
    Find out why quarter of a milllion users are now using our MailShot apps at jo.my/mailshot (iTunes link). A free version is also available to try, limited to a few small groups of contacts.

  • Problems in sending group emails

    I am having problems sending group emails.
    I get the message "The server"smtp.mac.com" did not recognize the following recipients." Then it will list a random selection from my group, sometimes including my email. I know these emails are good emails. If I laboriously pull these selected emails from the group, eventually the group email will go through.
    The next time I try to send a group email I go through this all over again, with another random group of emails that are not recognized. Any ideas? Can my list be too long? I have 160 emails in one group?

    Can spammers grab email addresses when I have only written the group name, for example "Writing Group" in the TO: box?
    Yes. Although you might put a Group into the To field, the recipient of the email sees every email address in that group, and if anyone has any malware on their system or even the mail servers the email travels through, those can be grabbed. After you've sent the email, you can also see every recipient email address in the headers of that message in your Sent folder.
    That's why you should not ever send bulk emails using the To field; always use the BCC field; it prevents malware from grabbing email addresses sent en masse, as well as preserving the privacy of your recipients. Nobody wants you to blast their email address to everyone else without their express permission. It's rude, disrespectful, and uncouth.

  • How do I send group emails from my iPad? They work fine from my MacBook but not the iPad.

    How do I send group emails from an iPad? They work fine on my MacBook but not my iPad.

    You need a third party app to do that. Look at Mail Shot or Group Email in the app store. You cannot do it with the built in mail app and the contacts app in iOS 5 without a third party app.

  • When I send an email with Mail, I often confuse the account which I'm using. The result is that I send a message with the wrong account! Is there a way to avoid this (for example a reminder before the email is sent)?

    When I send an email with Mail, I often confuse the account which I'm using. The result is that I send a message with the wrong account! Is there a way to avoid this (for example a reminder before the email is sent)?

    Hi, thanks for the answer, I did that already. Unfortunatly this doesn't help me at all, as I often forget to check the menu. For me composing the message is writing the text, the subject, the person to who is addressed and than press "send".
    I often forget to check the "from", and this is a problem because the software select itself one of the accounts.
    Isn't there a way at least to put as a default a blank field instead of one of the accounts? or an account which doesn't work so if I forget to specify the "from" I will be rnotofied that the message can't be sent.
    I guess this could be a rather common problem for many people!
    Thanks

  • Why can't I send group emails from iPad

    Why can't I send group emails from iPad and iPhone?

    There's a functional workaround to send Group emails that takes some setup, and a copy-paste. But it's easier than any one-by-one solution cooked up without a 3rd-party app. Here's the way:
    STEP ONE:
    Go to Settings>General>Keyboard-->Shortcuts
    Add a new Shortcut by typing in the full email addresses in the "Phrase" field, separated by comma and space; type in the few letters representing this "Phrase" in the "Shortcut" field.
    STEP TWO:
    In the email app, IN THE BODY OF THE EMAIL, type in the letter for the Shortcut and space. Then Highlight-->Copy this text and paste it into the To: Field. (Obviously: Delete this text in email body; and use CC: or BCC: fields as desired.)
    Regrettably, you CANNOT just type the Shortcut in the address fields as it gets lobbed into one address.
    This "No Group Email Functionality" rates a #FAIL by Apple. One of the few.

    There seems to be a few bugs with iCloud Mail at times, so send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

  • When I type in the email address I want to send an email to, mail suggests email addresses i never use

    I am using Apple's Mail application on my MacBook Pro for 3 emails. One personal, one for my work place and one for my university email address. From the university I receive lots of emails which isn't sent only for me, but every student on my course, so I am not the only receiver.
    When I am sending an email, from any of my email addresses and I type in whom I want to send it to, it shows a bunch of email addresses that I have never sent an email to. They are all university email addresses and I want to get rid of them, but they are not in my address book and I have no clue how to delete them / where to find them.
    For example: I wanted to send an email from my work place email to James Fox. He's email is [email protected] (just an example). When I start to type in James.f,   about 100 email addresses pop up, but none of them is the one I need and I will never need those and I CANT GET RID OF THEM.
    Please help me, how to get rid of all these unwan

    How is the university account added to your system? (You should be able to find it in either System Preferences - Internet Accounts, or Mail - Preferences). Is it an Exchange account, perhaps? I wonder if you're seeing a centralized contact group that can't be controlled from your computer (but you may be able to turn it off completely).

  • How to send GROUP email in Mavericks?

    Sending email to Contact Groups in Mail doesn't appear to be working in Mavericks anymore.  We use to be able to type the Group name, click enter, then all addresses appear.  Now it just disappears with no email addresses added.

    Steve, I just saw a post by another person that provided a work around which works for me:
    A workaround for sending an email to a group in Contacts, might be right-clicking on a group and choosing Send email to "{group name}".

  • Group Email-Undelivered Mail

    I have various groups setup up on our server with users added. When I send an email to the group the members of that group are receiving my message, so I believe I have the correct settings for group emails.
    The problem I'm having is that after a few weeks mail stops being forwarded to the recipients in the group and gets returned as "Undelivered Mail Return to Sender". I can get everything working again if I stop the Web service and then restart it.
    This problem is driving me crazy as I cannot locate what might be the cause. Any help would be great.
    Thanks

    I guess you might be using the wiki group email feature ? or a script that goes through the groups you have setup and builds an alias database ?

  • Send text email to mailing lists?

    I normally send my email out formatted as html. So, I have my preferences set to do so and to format my reply in the manner in which it was sent to me. So far, so good. Is there a way so that when I want to create a new email to a mailing list that is in my address book, that it is automatically formatted as text rather than html? I would hate to have to switch back and forth to turn it off and on in preferences AND, of course, I know I will forget to do so and get myself "in trouble." So, is there a way to do this easily or set a preference for a certain recipient or group?
    Thanks for the help!

    no. there is no such capability in Mail (or any other email client AFAIK). you have to change the settings by hand.

  • Sending Group email from .mac

    Can you send gorup email from .mac address book?

    If you mean using the .Mac mail web interface, the answer is no. The .Mac web interface address book does not support the groups defined in OS X's Address book.
