I’m thrilled that so many people are heeding my advice and starting to use Gmail. Click here to see three how-to videos about Gmail to see why so many people are jumping to Gmail.

New Gmail users frequently ask me how to setup an address group in Gmail. Groups allow you to send a single email to a group of people in your address book by addressing the message to the group instead of the individuals in the group.

To create the group:

1. In Gmail, click the contacts link
2. Click the New Group icon
3. Type a name for your new group
4. Click OK
5. Click All Contacts
6. Place a check mark in the boxes of the contacts you want to belong to your new group
7. Click the Groups menu
8. Click the name of the group you want for them

To send an email to the group, click Compose Mail in Gmail, start typing the name of the group, click it from the list and complete and send your email as normal.

That’s it! It makes more sense watching it being done so watch the video below to see these steps in action AND see how to use your group after you have built it!
