How to Make an Email Group in macOS
If you frequently email the same group of people when you send messages, assemble the relevant addresses into a group in the macOS Contacts application. That way, you can address messages to the group instead of the individuals in it. macOS Mail will send your email to each person in the group.
You could enter all their addresses one by one in the To, Cc, or Bcc field. However, making a group email saves time and ensures you include the same people each time you send a group email.
Before you can send a group email, you must create a group in the Contacts application and then select people to include. Here’s how.
Open the Contacts app on your Mac by clicking its icon in the Dock at the bottom of the screen. Select File > New Group from the Contacts menu bar. Type a name for the new mailing list in the field that appears for an untitled group. Press Enter on the keyboard to save the new group, which currently has a new name but no members.
How to Add Members to Your macOS Mail Group
Next, you add members to the group from your existing Contact entries or add new contacts as needed.
Open the Contacts app on your Mac. Make sure the group list is visible in the Contacts app. If it isn’t, go to View > Show Groups from the Contacts menu bar. 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. Drag and drop individual contact names in the list of names in the center column onto the new group you formed in the Group column. If more than one email address is listed for a given contact, macOS Mail uses the recently used address when sending a message to the list. If no email is listed on the contact, that person won’t receive an email. However, you can click the contact’s name and select Edit at the bottom of the contact’s card to add an email address. If you need to add 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 automatically, where you can drag and drop it onto the group you just formed.
When you finish dragging contacts onto the new group, click its name in the group list to see the people you added.
To send an email to the group, open a new message in Mail and type the new group name in the To field. That action populates the field with the email addresses of the group members automatically.
