48. How to Create a Mailing List

If you have been asking yourself, "How do I set up groups of addresses to which I want to send email?", then here's how!

It's really quite easy! Let's say you want to form a list of email addresses to which you can forward jokes. Here's how to set it up....

1. Press your Mail key

2. Click on Addresses on the left sidebar

3. Click on Add on the left sidebar

4. After name, enter something like 1. jokes

5. After email, begin typing all the different email addresses for the list like this.....

afriend@webtv.net, anotherbuddy@aol.com, someone@cs.com, anyone@msn.com

Just be sure to put a comma after each address, followed by one blank space.

You can add as many email addresses as you want!

When you're finished, click on Add at the bottom, right-hand corner of the screen.

That's it! You've set up a mailing list. From then on, you can click onto To: and then click onto 1. jokes, and all those addresses will automatically be added to your email, and it will be sent to all those addresses as soon as you click on Send.

You don't necessarily have to be forwarding an email to this group. You can write a new email and address it to all the entries on your newly-created list with just a couple of clicks!

The only reason I suggested using 1. jokes is because using the number 1 before the word jokes will cause the "list" to be the very first thing in your address book, making it very quick and easy to find. You can certainly use any name that you wish! And naturally, the word doesn't have to be jokes, either. It can be any word of your own choosing!
