I need to group people in my contacts, so all i have to do is email that group instead of going threw everybod?

n fact, yes! Categories are groups of contacts in your address book ("School Friends", "Neighbors", "Oddballs"). You can compose one email and send it to everyone in a category.





Can contacts be in multiple categories? Yes! And you can have up to 1,000 categories in your address book.





If you ever want to send an email to your entire directory of contacts, the "All" category contains them all.





To view your contacts by category, select the category on the left menu of your address book.





To create, edit, or delete a category:





1. Click the Contacts tab to open your Address Book.


2. On the left side of your Address Book page, next to "Categories", click Edit.


3. To add a new category, click the Add Category button on the far left. Enter a name for your category and select the sort order. Click Add Category when you're finished.


4. To edit a category, click Edit next to the category name. Make your edits, then click the Save button.


5. To delete a category, click Delete next to the category name, and then the Delete Category button.


6. Note: You can also make changes to categories by clicking Options -- which is displayed on your top right hand side on your address book. Then from there you can begin the process.





To add a contact to a category:





1. While viewing your Yahoo! Address Book contacts, check the box next to the contact(s) you want to add.


2. Locate the "Add to category..." pull-down area.


3. From the pull-down menu, choose a category (or create a new category) that you would like the selected contact(s) added to.





Note: You can also add a contact to a category by starting on your main Address Book page. Simply check the box of a contact, then click the Add to Category... button. To add someone to multiple categories, hold down the "CTRL" or "Apple" keys and click multiple categories, then Save.





To remove a contact from a category:





1. While viewing contact in a specific Yahoo! Address Book category, put a check in the box next to a contact's name and click the Remove from Category button.





Please note: You can't delete or rename categories that Yahoo! has added. These are default categories and may not be edited.
