How to create groups in Gmail, Yahoo

 

There are occasions when we send an email to a group of people. It may be a mail to our trekking friends about an upcoming outing, or to our relatives about a family function, or to colleagues about an official matter. Adding names one by one is not just tedious, we risk missing out on a few names.

Instead, create a group and just type out the name of the group in the 'To' field.

In Gmail, go to Contacts. Click on one or more contacts. Click on the third-from-left icon on top, which will show 'Groups' if you hover the mouse over it. You can either create new groups or add contacts to already-created groups. On advanced Android phones, these changes will reflect on the phone, allowing you to send a text message to the group as well.

In Yahoo, go to Contacts. On the left pane, you will see 'Lists'. Click on the 'plus' sign to create a new list. You can click on a contact and click on 'Assign to list' to add the contact.

In Outlook, click on the arrow beside 'Outlook' and click on 'People'. Click on 'Manage', 'Manage Groups'. You can create a group, by clicking on the 'plus' sign at the bottom. You can add a contact by clicking on it, and then on 'Groups'.
