Getting Started With Yahoo! Contacts

Here’s How

To send a message to one contact from Yahoo! Contacts:

1. Open your Yahoo! Contacts and select the contact. (Remind me how.)

2. Click the envelope icon next to the contact’s email address that you want to use.

   

   A new email message tab appears with the contact’s email address automatically entered in the To box.

   

3. Compose and send your message as usual.

To send a message to one or more contacts from Yahoo! Contacts:

1. Open your Yahoo! Contacts and select one or more contacts.

   To select random contacts, hold down the Ctrl key and select individual contacts. To select a series of contacts, select the first contact, hold down the Shift key and select the last contact. You may have to scroll through the list to find the contacts you want.

2. Right click over one of the highlighted names and select Send Email from the menu.

   

   A new email message tab appears with the primary addresses of each contact automatically entered in the To box.

   

3. Compose and send your message as usual.

To send email to a list:

1. Open your Yahoo! Contacts and select the list that you want to send a message to.

   Enlarge

2. Click the email button to send an email message to all the contacts on the list.

   

   The name of the list (not the contact names on the list) appears on the email message’s To box. When you send the message, AT&T Mail adds the email addresses for each contact on the list, so each person gets a copy of the email message.

   Tips:
   
   To send a message to a list without displaying all the addresses to the recipients, include the list in the Bcc box and your own address in the To box.
   
   
   
   To learn more about creating and using lists, see the Working With Lists task.

To address a message in progress to one or more contacts:

1. Be sure that the message you want to send or forward is open in a new email message tab. (Remind me how to compose a message or to forward a message.)

2. Click the To, Cc, or Bcc button to add recipients to the corresponding address box.

   

   Tip: Click the Show BCC link to display the Bcc box to the address area.
   
   

   The Add Recipients window opens, listing all the contacts for whom you have entered email addresses.

3. Select the contact or contacts that you want to include (these can be individuals and/or lists):

   • To select more than one contact, hold down the Ctrl key (Windows) or the Apple key (Mac) and select individual contacts.

   • To select a series of contacts, select the first contact in the series, hold down the Shift key and select the last contact in the series.

   

4. Click OK.

   AT&T Mail adds the selected addresses to the address box.

5. Repeat step 2 for each address box (To, Cc, and Bcc) you want to use for your message.
