I love groups in gmail….but is there a way to have some as TO and some as CC within the same group? I know this can be done in desktop programs such as outlook, but I would love to have that ability in gmail.

Unfortunately I don’t think that’s possible. The easiest thing to do would be to create two separate groups. You can type one into the “TO” field and another into the “CC” field.

For instance, in a given group, there are 2 names I need to go into the TO field and 3 names I need to go in the CC field. Can this be done, or do I need to create separate groups?

Thanks!

I just discover new things on your site every day. I knew about the groups but had not used this function yet, but now after reading this it’s time to get started. Sounds much like the distribution groups I setup on a Microsoft Exchange server, only I am sure it’s much easier to use. Thanks.

This is incredibly easy to use, and it can save you so much time.

I’ve been using this feature since from the beginning but you know what the problem is? The email address of each member of the group is visible to the other members when they get the email. I don’t like it very much and I do hope that Gmail team will asap change something this way.

That’s what the BCC (Blind Carbon Copy) field is used for. People who receive the email will not be able to see who else it was sent to.

Just append group names with a symbol on the front and then type that symbol in the to field and all your groups will pop up, no need to remember

I always tend to forget about the shortcuts as helpful as they are! Thanks for the reminder.
