Re: multiple recipients problem in mail

[Tim Kilburn]

Hi,

What I’d do then is go directly into my Contacts app, sift through the 
recipients from within there.  So, interacting with the table of contacts, 
navigate from the top down.  When you get to the first contact you wish to 
eMail, press VO-cmd-return, then press it again as the first time deselects in 
this case.  From now on, you only need to press VO-cmd-return once when you 
wish to select a contact.  Thus, navigate down and press VO-cmd-return once on 
each of the remaining people you wish the message sent to.  Once they are all 
selected, press VO-m to go up to the menubar, over to the File menu, down to 
“New Group from Selection” then type a name for the group.  Use this name in 
Mail when sending to that subset of contacts.  You can delete the group after 
if you wish since this sounds like a temporary solution for you.

HTH.

Unfortunately this wouldn't work for me. I'm speaking of at least 150 people 
and I have to sift through them and select the ones I need. These are not 
people I know personally but rather on the larger mailing list.

Any ideas and suggestions still very welcome.

Take care,

Re: multiple recipients problem in mail

[Tim Kilburn]

Hi,

If these recipients are already in your Contacts, then simply type the first 
few letters of their first or last name and let Mail do the rest.  So, for 
example, if I was wanting to send a message to Fred Flintstone, Barney Rubble, 
Wilma Flintstone and Betty Rubble, I’d do the following:

• navigate to the appropriate addressing field in the new mail message.
• start typing “Fred F” and let Mail complete the name for me.
• if it chooses the right name and eMail address, then just press return and 
start the next individual.
• If it does not automatically choose the correct name or eMail address, there 
could be multiple addresses available.  In this case just arrow up/down through 
them then press return and go on to the next recipient.
• You may also need to enter a few extra letters if there are many with similar 
spellings.
• once they’ve all been added, you can move on to the message content and such, 
then send away.

HTH.

Am I missing something? Call apple accessibility and the adviser was also

Very frustrating since I need rather urgently to send out multiple mailings.

Thanks very much for your help!

multiple recipients problem in mail

[Ioana Gandrabur]

Hi all,

I have not used mac and mail much since Yosemite and can no longer send mail to 
multiple recipients chosen from contacts.
I tried searching the archive but could not find anything so I’m sorry if this 
has already been addressed but very grateful for your help.
I went to bcc and pressed the “add contacts” found the group of contacts I was 
interested in and water to go through them and select some to add to the bcc 
field. Multiple selection contiguous or not did not give any vo feedback and 
even after just highlighting one contact, I found no way to actually add this 
to the bcc field.

Am I missing something? Call apple accessibility and the adviser was also 
stumped and said he’d get back to me this afternoon 

Very frustrating since I need rather urgently to send out multiple mailings.

Thanks very much for your help!
