Sending to groups - slightly different

I have read several posted questions that are similar, but do not address the problem I am experiencing.
Until this week I was using a Dual 1.8 G5 on OS 10.5.8. I had to upgrade due to a mother board issue. I now have a 2.66 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon running 10.6.1.
Before when I composed a message to send to a group, I would click the ADDRESS button at the top of the message and double-click the group I want to send to. The group name would appear in the BCC or CC field and all was good.
Now when I double-click on the group, only one name/address appears in the BCC or CC fields.
When I look at the lists of group names and group members, there appears to be one name selected in the group at all times. That is the name that gets entered. Before whenever I selected a new group, none of the members were highlighted until I clicked on one.
So how do I get mail to enter the whole group when I click on it?
Thank you
jon

this is a bug. it was mentioned by a number of people on this board. Until it is fixed you should modify the way you enter group addresses. an easy way that still works is to start typing the name of the group in the address field.
if you want you can also report the bug although I believe it has been done already.

How do I specify different emails for a form to send to based on different selections?

How do I specify different emails for a form to send to based on different selections?
Creating a form that can be sent to an email address is simple enoug but my problem I can't figure out. There is a drop down menu on the form and based on what the user selects the form will be sent to 1 of 3 groups of email addresses. How can I specify which group of email addresses belong to a particular dropdown menu selection?

You can populate the drop down with a dataprovider that has the dropdown field and the emailgroup field.

Has the initial problem with Mavericks with the inability to send a group email been resolved?

Has the initial problem of the inability of Mavericks Mail to send a Group Email been resolved?

I can't try what you suggest since I have not reinstalled Mavericks. I don't want the hassle to recover all my files if I have to return to Mountain Lion (again). I was one of the first users of Mavericks when it rolled out and I was not able to "drag and drop" group emails from my Contacts App. I had to do them one at a time--which was a pain when sending the same email to over 50 persons. I do a lot of them to different groups. I have not been able to confirm with Apple that Mavericks works correctly with mail. Thus I need to rely on users such as you to determine if it is safe to install Mavericks (again). If the mail program works correctly I should be able to drag and drop a group or type the group name into "To", "cc" or "bcc". What say you?

How can I send email using two different email address that both link back to my one exchange account on my Ipad mini

How can I send email using two different email address that both link back to my one exchange account on my Ipad mini?
On my PC I simply have a master return email address and use a POP for the secondary address. Both are through the one exchange account without a problem. I need to be able to do the same on my Ipad.

Ah, I should have made that clear. My domain didn't come from google. It was purchased at and is hosted at dreamhost, but I haven't used their email servers in years - I just route everything through gmail. I actually have a bunch of domains (with websites).
Gmail has an option that lets someone with custom domains send (and receive) email through gmail using the custom domain once Google confirms proper ownership of the domain (to prevent spammers and such). Gmail has a setting for "send email as" which allows gmail to be sent using a custom domain as the sender. I'm pretty sure Apple's old mobileme had this feature too, but I didn't use it.

How can I not reveal group members' email addresses when sending a group message?

I want to send a group message without revealing, as a courtesy, the email addresses of everyone in my group to all members of the group. How can I mask the other recipients? --Gary

Use BCC instead of TO. That is what that feature is for.

How can I send a group email to ensure privicy for recipients?

I am trying to send a group email to all my address contacts that does not show any other of the group contact information on the email. Can anyone tell me how to do this effectivly. I receive loads of emails each day from corporate groups that do this to me so I see who else they sent the mail to but I don't know hoe to do it to my contacts. Help please....

There is a potential security flaw in the BCC feature.
According to the conventions of the SMTP protocol, all addresses, including BCC addresses, are included in every email as it is sent over the Internet. The BCC addresses are stripped off blind copy email only at the destination email server. Therefore, if the addressee controls their email server or can access it, they could examine the BCC addresses on every email they receive.
Very occasionally, an email server will be misconfigured and not strip off the BCC list on email it sends to its local users, revealing the complete blind copy address field to users that receive the email at that domain. Therefore, BCC is very good but not perfect at keeping addresses confidential, and should not be relied on for the most critical and sensitive of communications.

If you select ''Do not send me mail' or 'Disabled' it will not send.
For other values it sends the notfication in different formats like text, html, attachments etc...

You won't be able to change your rescue email address until you can answer your questions, you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down this page to update your rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312

How to add addresses to groups in iPad? How to send to group?

Address book has not synced properly from my computer to Mobile Me for ages, well before I added my iPad to my stable of products. I've gone through all the advice here and traveled unsuccessful loops to push it or force it to sync again. I deleted every address manually from MobileMe and had it re-populate. It replicated what I just deleted and did not pull the new information from my MacPro. I truly do not understand where MobileMe keeps that old list in its memory and why it insists on reloading outdated information..I would guess there is at least a 40% inaccuaracy with the MobileMe and iPad addresses. It's popping up again addresses that have long been deleted from my MacPro and the has a complete absence of new addresses from my "Master" address book on my MacPro. I have reselected my MacPro as the master in System Preferences and asked it to sync again many times.
I have synced my iPad directly from my MacPro. Still the same old version which matches the MobileMe address book keeps showing up on my iPad. Here's a small twist: I recently added a new group in my MacPro Master Address Book. Both MobileMe and the iPad picked up the name of group but it contains NO contacts or addresses. At first the new group name was appearing in my iPad address book on both the lists labeled 'From my Mac' and 'MobileMe' but now the group name is missing from the 'From my Mac' list. Very odd, since that is the only place that the group actually exists!
MobileMe is currently unresponsive on loading contacts or my calendar so I can't get on the website to verify that version. The rest of MobileMe appears to be working but the iCal error message I sent to Apple bounced.
I cannot upgrade to Lion :-( so trying iCloud is not an option.
I see no way within the iPad to move contacts from the All Contacts list into a new group. If I could do move them within the iPad address book that would take care of the majority of the addresses I want in the new group list. The only thing I can see to do in the iPad is to retype the entire contact information or engage in a time consuming cut and paste transfer of each contact. Both of those options are too daunting to be acceptable. There are about fifty contacts I want in the group.
There does not appear to be a way to send a vCard to the iPad to add that to its Address Book and even if that worked I don't see how to tag anything to move it into any group on the iPad. How do people without a computer get any use out of the iPad's AB? Its limitations are so frustrating to me. I detest sending emails to multiple people from my iPad and save those for when I can get on my computer.
I just tried to set up a 'send to group' email from one of my existing groups in my iPad address book and I don't see anyway to do that from the address book. I went into Mail on the iPad and I don't see how to address an email to more than one person at a time except by typing the first few letters of each name and selecting each person I want to add from the drop down list that appears. Please tell me there's a better way to send to a group of people. If not, I need a recommendation for an address app with better functionality.
I have some urgency for accomplishing this as I will be spending the day in the hospital and want to report results to friends and loved ones as quickly as possible.

Hi
You asked about a recommendation for an app to paste a group of addresses into the To, Cc or Bcc fields of an email?
Our "MailShot Pro" app is the only one we know of on the App Store that creates special "group contacts" in your address book which contain all your groups email addresses, but can be used just like regular contacts from most of your favourite apps. We now have nearly 50000 people using it, and growing steadily every day.
Here is a link if you would like to know more “MailShot Pro” (itunes link).
A free version is also available if you'd like to try it out with a small nmber of contacts.
If you need any customer support just contact us at the website, we're always happy to help.

I'm trying to send a group text but the recipient automatically defaults to send to their email.

I'm trying to send a group text, but when I type in someones name, it automatically defaults to email. It doesn't even give me the option to a choose phone number. It only does with certain contacts. Also, when a message doesn't go through, usually there is a red try again spot I can click, but when I click it, it only gives me the option to send as an email not text.

99% chance you don't have the phone number in your contacts correctly. Make sure there is an area code, etc.

How do I send a group text without having to type in each contact's name?

I have the Verizon text app and have a group contact of about 30 people to whom I wish to send a group text. I tried pulling up the "contact group" that the 30 are associated with, but it does not come up. Is there any way around having to type in each name individually?

Hey there, MissyGross! I'm sure that I can help you set up a group for your messaging needs. First, I need to know which model device you have. Can you share that with me?

Is there a way to send a group text message to more than 10 recepients?

Is it possible to send a group text message to more than 10 recipients? I called AT&T tech support and they said the phone's software limits group messages to no more than 10.

Apple does not explain why it makes the choices it does, nor will you get a response
from Apple on this forum. You can make Apple aware of your thoughts at
www.apple.com/feedback Your message will be read, but not answered.
AFAIK, there is no way to increase the limit of the native app. Use a 3rd party app if that
function is important to you. Others have expressed similar frustration in the past and
have chosen another app to fill their needs.

When I send a Group message from my address book, the entire group gets listed in the "To" line. How do I get each member to receive the message individually without listing all members? Its just messy is all.

Hey Grupo Castillo,
Thanks for the question. You can actually configure this behavior from Mail preferences:
1. Choose Preferences from the Mail menu.
2. Click Composing.
3. Deselect the checkbox for "When sending to a group, show all member addresses".
When you send an email to the group, only the groups name will be seen.

HELP....why do I keep getting "Not Delivered" errors when trying to send a Group MMS text message?

I am trying to send a Group MMS text. There are 6 recipients. I hit "send" and the progress bar goes almost to the very end, and then hangs up....and eventually I get a "Not Delivered" error message. I click on the "i" icon and it says "your message was not sent. Tap try again to send this message." I've done that time and time again, and the same thing happens. What am I doing wrong?

Try sending it as a regular text message... turn off iMessage.
