To create a group
You can easily send messages to a group of people by creating a mailing group (or "alias") containing their names. Then, you just type the group name in the To box when you send messages. You can create multiple groups, and contacts can belong to more than one group.
-
In the Address Book, click the New Group button on the toolbar.
-
In the Group Name box, type the name of the group.
-
Click Select Members, and then click a name from the Address Book list.
To find people using directory services, click the Find button on the Select Group Members dialog box, select a directory service to search, and then enter your search criteria. When you find the person, click Add to Address Book.
-
To add the selected name(s) to the group, click Select.
-
Click OK, and then click OK to close the group properties dialog box.
Notes
-
To view a list of your groups separately from the address book listings, click the View menu, and then make sure that Groups List is selected.

When you add contacts to your address book from a directory service, the properties that are listed in the directory service (such as address and e-mail address) are automatically added to your address book.
