Step 1: Open Thunderbird
The first step is to open Thunderbird on your computer. If you don’t have Thunderbird installed, you can download it from the official website and follow the installation instructions.
Step 2: Access the Address Book
Once Thunderbird is open, click on the “Address Book” tab located in the top menu bar. Alternatively, you can press Ctrl+Shift+B (or Command+Shift+B on a Mac) to quickly access the address book.
Step 3: Create a New Address Book
In the address book window, click on “File” in the top menu and select “New” followed by “Address Book.” A new window will appear where you can enter the details of your new address book.
Step 4: Name your Mailing List
In the new address book window, give your mailing list a name that is descriptive and easily identifiable. For example, you can use the name of your organization or the purpose of the mailing list.
Step 5: Add Contacts to the Mailing List
Now it’s time to add contacts to your mailing list. You can do this by clicking on the “New Contact” button and filling in the contact details for each person. Make sure to include their email address and any other relevant information.
Repeat this step until you have added all the contacts you want to include in your mailing list.
Step 6: Save the Mailing List
After adding all the contacts, click on “File” and then “Save” to save your mailing list. Choose a location on your computer where you want to save the file, and give it a recognizable name.
Step 7: Start Composing an Email
To use your newly created mailing list, open a new email composition window by clicking on “Write” in the top menu or pressing Ctrl+N (or Command+N on a Mac).
Step 8: Enter the Mailing List Name
In the “To” field of the email composition window, enter the name of your mailing list. Thunderbird will automatically detect the mailing list and include all the contacts as recipients of your email.
Step 9: Compose your Email
Once you have entered the mailing list name, compose your email as you would normally. Add a subject, write your message, and attach any necessary files or documents.
Step 10: Send your Email
When you are ready to send your email, simply click on the “Send” button. Thunderbird will send the email to all the contacts in your mailing list, saving you the hassle of manually adding each recipient.
