I run several church sports leagues (softball, volleyball, and basketball) and often need to send the same group of players messages about schedules, rain-outs, etc. To make my life easier, I gather all their addresses into a group by using the macOS Contacts and Mail apps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to create a new group in Contacts<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u00b0 Launch Contacts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b0 Select File > New Group from the Contacts menu bar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
New Group<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u00b0 Type a name for the new mailing list in the field that appears for an untitled group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Name
Name new group<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u00b0 Press Enter on the keyboard to save the new group, which currently has a new name but no members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to add members to a group<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Now you can add members to the group from your existing Contact entries or add new contacts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b0 Open the Contacts app on your Mac. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b0 If the group list isn\u2019t visible in the Contacts app, go to View > Show Groups from the Contacts menu bar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b0 Click All Contacts at the top of the Group column on the left side of the screen to display every contact you have entered into the app in alphabetical order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b0 Drag and drop contact names into the list of names in the center column onto the new group you formed in the Group column. If a contact has more than one email address is listed for a given contact, macOS Mail will use the most recently used address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b0 Todd a new contact to the group, choose the plus sign (+) under the large contact card, select New Contact in the drop-down menu, and enter the contact’s details. The new contact shows up under All Contacts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"New
New Contact<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u00b0 Once you\u2019ve finished dragging contacts onto the new group, you can click its name in the group list to see the folks you added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to send an email to the group<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To send an email to the group, open a new message in Mail. Enter the group name in the To field. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to delete a group<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can delete a group if you no longer need it. In the Contacts app on your Mac, select the group or Smart Group in the sidebar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Delete

\u00b0 Press the Delete key, then confirm the deletion.
