Apple Mail group address

How do I collect a bunch of addresses from an email into a "group address" that I can use?

Once you get their emails entered into contacts, the other stuff you want to do is a cinch. and you can create overlapping lists and smart lists from the same contacts.


You can add email address to contacts with just a click:


In the message list, select a message, then choose Message > Add Sender to Contacts.

Use information found in Mail in other apps on Mac - Apple Support

Thanks

Well, first of all, the CONTACTS app will not let me create a new GROUP. I have followed the directions exactly but the new GROUP does not appear. I get a lot of "last card" listed in there.


Then it appears that even it you had a new GROUP, you would have to place the emails in there one by one. I have a bunch of them to do so this would not work well.

I have two comments to offer. When using the Mail app, you may or may not know that you can save any email contacts and they are saved toContacts. Second, for what it's worth, I stopped using Mail years ago (and Contacts). I see a lot of problems with it reported here on the forum. I have used and have been very satisfied with using Thunderbird for my emails. It is very stable, creates groups and has features most other apps do not have. It's also free. I suggest giving it a trial run.
