How to Get Lists to Easily Show Up in "To" Field

Post by thechamlin »

I created a "list" for my Virtual Assistants and named it VA. When I enter VA in the "To" field, all the people with "va" in their names show up, but not the list. How can I easily send emails to a List without having to open the address book every time to select the list?

Just try selecting your VA list folder in the left pane & do not type VA.
They will all appear in the "To" box.
If you don't want everyone to see each other, then choose BCC.

Thanks for this. I've never had the contacts pain open on the left side. This will work, though I'd prefer to not have to have the contacts sidebar open.

I did, but your follow up suggested I look again. Did not see the Nickname option the first time reading through. Perfect. Much gratitude!
