Fortunately, your friends and colleagues and acquaintances come in groups, too. AIM Mail and AOL Mail have the tools to interact with them swiftly as well.
Set Up Groups for Mailing Multiple Recipients Fast in AIM Mail and AOL Mail
To create an address book group for addressing multiple recipients fast in AIM Mail or AOL Mail:
- Go to Contacts.
- Select New | New List in the toolbar.
- Enter a meaningful name for your group under Distribution List Name.
- You could call a list you use for sharing recipes "recipe friends", for example.
- Enter the desired list members under Add Contacts.
- You can use full email addresses (such as "recipient@example.com") and, for AOL and AIM users, screen names (such as "youyou5").
- Separate members using commas ("recipient@example.com, youyou5, meme2@aol.com", for example).
- Click Create in the toolbar.
Send a Message to All Group Members
To send an email to all your group's members fast while keeping their addresses private, it is best to use Bcc: and "undisclosed recipients".
