How can I place a group list on my yahoo email contacts, such as family?

This is the easiest way to do it (you can add a new group and the contacts for this group at the same time). Open your email account and click on "Contacts". The default "All" contact list will appear in the column on the right side of the screen (and this list will contain all of the contacts in your Address Book, regardless of category). If your family members are already listed in your Address Book their contact information will be in the "All" Category. Just check the box for each family member and then at the bottom of the screen click on "Add to Category" - a drop-down default menu will appear and at the the bottom of this list is the [New Category] button. Click on it %26amp; a small "Add Category" window will open. Type in Family in the "New Category Name" box, then click "OK". The "Family" category will open, showing the contacts you have added to category "Family". You can also edit the contact information for each entry by clicking on [Edit]. If you have a family member that is not listed as a contact in your Address Book, just click on "Add Contact" and the "Add Contact" screen will open. In the Primary Information section, type in the pertinent information and when you reach the "Category" box, click on "Family". Page down and on the left, bottom corner of the screen click on "Save". This contact is now included in your "Family" category - or group.





That takes care of adding a new group or category to your Address Book. But when you open your main email screen to your Inbox, I think you should also create a "Family" Folder in the "Folders" column on the left of the screen. Click on the "Add" button, at the top across from the "Folders" heading. A window will open asking you to "Please enter a name for your folder." In the box, type Family and then click "OK". There are two sections in the Folders column - the default "Folders" and below that the "My Folders" section. You will find the "Family" folder you have created in the "My Folders" section. When you receive an email from a family member in your Inbox, you can either check the box for that particular email, then click on "Move" at the very top of the Inbox and when the drop-down menu appears, it will show all of the Folders you have created and you just click on the Folder you want - i.e. Family - and that email will be moved to your Family folder and you can open it from there. If you have a bunch of emails from family members already in your Inbox, just check the box of each email and "Move" them all at once to your "Family" folder. Or, if you happen to open the email from your Inbox, you can still "Move" the open email to your "Family" Folder, using the same procedure. This is a great way to provide easy and convenient access to your family emails - just click on the "Family" folder and there they all are. I have created quite a few folders to organize and manage my emails - Family, Friends, Business, To Do, Sundry, etc. - and this system saves time %26amp; makes it a lot easier to locate a particular email.





Good Luck!

How can I place a group list on my yahoo email contacts, such as family?
To make a group list open your Yahoo mail page; click on "Contacts"; click on "Add Category" ; enter a name for the category (which is really your List's name); Click "Done".





Open Contacts again; put a mark next to each person you want in your group; at the top, click "Add to Category"; choose the name of your list. It's created!





Now when you compose an email, click on "To:" and your contact list comes up; at the top you see the alphabet you use to find a contact; at the end of the alphabet it says "Categories"; click it, find the list you made and click in the "To" column; click "Insert checked contacts" and your category name will appear in the address line of your email, but all the people in the group will receive your mail.





Good luck.
