I have two groups who I regularly email. How do I import addresses from the 'All' section of the Address Book into the groups please? I have tried 'drag & Drop' but no can do.
In Address Book give the people in each group a name [***] that defines them in some way.
Put this into the Note section of each of their cards.
Make Smart Groups in Address book for each of the two groups [File; New Smart Group; Card, Contains ***]
Then when you want to send them all an email
In Mail open a New Message from the Menu Bar.
Click on 'Address Book' in its menu bar. A small window will open with your addresses in - the Groups will be on the left.
Drag the appropriate group into the 'To' box of the New Message and Bobs your uncle!
[You can check that all the addresses are really there by right clicking on the group's name on the email and selecting 'Expand Group'].
I have just reread that and it looks complicated - sorry, it isn't really. Pls say if it needs clarifying.
Drag & drop should work Roy - it does for me. Set up your group in the groups column by creating it with its own name then drag from 'All' to that group name. Or use smart groups as Mark suggests.
Thanks Mark it works!
Also thanks Mick but I still can't drag & drop. The icons slide back to the Name column. They will not 'drop'. However now that I know how to create and use a Smart Group, Bob is now my uncle!
