Creating a Mail List

The Netscape Mailing List allows you to mail "many people" at one time!

If you want to create a Mailing List:
Go To
the Netscape Mail Window Toolbar..., Choose Window, then "click-on" Address Book.

Address Book  Add List  Example


Obviously..., you must have "several addresses" in you Address Book before you can create a Mail List!


The Address Book Properties Tab will "Pop-up"

Create a Test Folder..., like the one (below).

Address Book  List  Properties  Demo


To create a Mailing List:

Select the Names you want included in your New Mail List
Use the Shift Key (and mouse click) to all multiple "sequential" addresses,
...and the Ctrl Key (and mouse click) to add "non-sequential" addresses.

Address Book  Mailing List  Example

When you have finished selecting..., "Drag" the selection(s) to the webstudy_test_folder


You will need to "Hold Down" the Right Mouse Button..., and "Drag" the Highlighted Selections toward the bottom of the window..., (to make the Window "scroll down"...)

Then, "Drop" (release the Right Mouse Button) ...the Selections in the webstudy_test_folder.

Address Book List  WebStudy Test Folder


The Name Selections will be included in the webstudy_test_folder.

Address Book  List  Mail Message Example

To Send a message to every name on the list...,

From the Address Book Toolbar...,
"Click-on" File, then Mail New Message.


A new Mail Composition Window will appear...,

Mail Composition Window  WebStudy Test Folder  List

"Click-on" Send..., and Netscape Mail will send your message to "every name on your list".


Remember..., You cannot see all of the names in the list..., from the Mail Composition Window.

After you Send the message you can actually "see it" by "clicking-on" the Sent Folder located in the Mail Window, Mail Folder, Pane. Locate your message and "click-on" it..., (it will be visible in the Viewing Pane at the bottom)


If you have trouble with "any of this"..., ask for help!
It is a bit "trickey" the first few times you try it!
