Create a mailing list

A mailing list is a group of contacts you can send one email to in a single step. You can build lists from your Google Contacts, add addresses by hand, or import a file.

Step 1: Open your lists

From Flashissue in Gmail, select Lists.

Step 2: Create a new list

Click New List and give the list a name. To add contacts to a list you already have, open it and go to Step 3.

Step 3: Add contacts

  1. Open the list and click Add Contacts.
  2. In the dialog, tick the contacts you want to add.
  3. Click Add.

You can also type in addresses yourself or import a CSV file. See Import a list (CSV / Google Contacts).

Step 4: Remove contacts

Open the list, tick the contacts you want to remove, then click Remove Contacts.

Good to know

  • Only send to people who have agreed to hear from you. Purchased lists cause bounces and spam reports and can get your account suspended.
  • People who unsubscribed from your emails stay suppressed and won't be emailed again, even if you add them back to a list.
  • On a Team plan you can share a list with your teammates. See Share a mailing list with teammates.
