Hi Scotty!

Hope you are having a great summer!  Can you please answer a question for me that would save me a whole lot of time???  I have created a group in my address book - each entry is a family at our school, some families have 2 or 3 email addresses.  When I go and try to email everyone by pulling up the group I have made, how do you get all of their emails to come up.  When I have tried to do it, only the first email entered in their card is shown.  It seems like I can only choose one and not all 2 or 3 of them - do you know if you can change this???  Please let me know when you get a minute.

short answer: You would need to create a contact for each email that you’d like to send within your address book group. That’s kind of silly since it would mean having essentially several duplicates of the same contact.

long answer: Doesn’t completely solve your question but may serve to be a possible substitute solution.

“Address Book lets you set a default email address to use for each contact in the group. What’s more, this is on a per-group basis, so you can use a contact’s work email for one group and their home email for another group, for example.

To do all this, choose Edit > Edit Distribution List. Click a group in the left column, then go through each email address, clicking the address you want to use for each contact (the selected address is in bold):


Now the next time you compose an email to that group, the selected address for each contact will be used.
(You can also set each contact’s default
physical address and phone number for the group - used when printing contacts. To do this, click the Email column header and choose an option from the pop-up menu.)”
