Apple Mail group distribution lists

Thanks for reaching out leftcoaster,

It sounds like you're trying to create groups to make it easier to email multiple contacts at once. We can help.

One way to do this is to Create and change Smart Lists in Contacts on Mac:

Create a Smart List

Smart Lists can include contacts from any account.

1. In the Contacts app  on your Mac, choose File > New Smart List.

2. Enter a name for the Smart List. For example, if you create a Smart List to organize contacts who live in San Francisco, you can name it SF.

3. Specify the criteria. 

- Set the first condition: Click the first pop-up menu, choose an option (such as Name, Company, or City), then complete the condition using the other menus or fields that are shown (they vary depending on your choice in the first pop-up menu).

- For example, to include contacts who live in San Francisco, choose City from the first pop-up menu and “is” from the second one, then enter San Francisco in the text field. Any contact whose city is San Francisco is automatically included.

- Add or remove conditions: To set additional conditions, click the Add button  (you may need to scroll to see them). To remove a condition, click its Remove button . 

- Set the scope of multiple conditions: If you have at least two conditions, a pop-up menu appears that lets you choose whether a contact must meet any or all of the conditions to be included in the Smart List.

4. Click OK.

Whenever you select your Smart List in the sidebar, contacts that match its criteria are listed.

You can also Create and manage groups of contacts on iCloud.com.

Hope that helps.

Take care.
