Gmail Email Lists or Groups

(Laura, Teresa, RosieCat23, BR and 3 others @ WikiHow) To create a 'Mailing List' in GMail saves a lot of time and efforts  for mailing  a mass e-mail. Mailing List  in Gmail is called Group. This is how we do it...

 

 Steps

  1. 1

    Open GMail, and click a "GMail" button on the left,
     

     

     

     

     

     
     
  2. 2

    Click Contacts option,
     

     

     

     

     

     
  3. 3

    Click 'New Group' option to open it, give a  name  to a new group, for example 'Work', then click OK to create it,
     

     

     

     

     

    • You will see a new group shown on the left among the Contacts.
       
     
  4. 4

    Click on 'Work' group to open it, 
     

     

     

     

     

     
  5. 5

    Click on the icon (see image) ... it will open a window to start adding contacts to this group
     

     
     
     
     
    • For example, you have a contact Hennesy ...Type 'Hennesy' in the window ... Hennesy's e-mail will pop up... click on it.
       
       
       
       
       
       
    • Click Add button.

    Next, for example, you have Ella in your contacts to add to the group ...

    • Type 'Ella' in the window ... Ella's e-mail will pop up ... click on it
       
       
       
       
       
       
    • Click 'Add' button.
       
       
       
       
       
       
     
  7. 7

    Continue the same procedure until you enter all your  work contacts, their e-mails also will be shown,
