\"\"Using Gmail and my Gmail extension GMass, it’s easy to send a mass, personalized email<\/a> to every email address in your Gmail account \u2014 and a way better option than the old BCC email technique<\/a>. You simply need to get all of the email addresses in the To<\/strong> field, compose your Subject<\/strong> and Message<\/strong>, and hit the GMass button (instead of the Gmail Send button). In this article, I will show\u00a0you three different methods for launching that Compose<\/strong> window with all of your email addresses. Each has pros and cons.<\/em><\/p>\n

1. Use the GMass “Build Email List”\u00a0button<\/h2>\n

In Gmail, you can search your conversations using the Search<\/strong> bar at the top. Once you have a list of matching conversations, you can use the GMass Build Email List<\/strong> button (the magnifying glass) to scrape all the email addresses inside those matching conversations. It will find all of the email addresses in the From<\/strong> and To<\/strong> lines of those matching email messages.<\/p>\n

\"\"For example, if I wanted to send a mass email to everyone with whom I’ve had a conversation about “iPhone”, I could search for “iPhone” in my Gmail account, and then hit the GMass Build Email List<\/strong> button to instantly create a list of all those email addresses.<\/p>\n

So, if I want to search for something that will match just about every email message in my account, I just need to search for a short word like “the”. Assuming that almost every email will contain the word “the”, the Build Email List<\/strong> button will now create an email list of almost every single email address in your account. Note that this technique will pull all addresses in the To<\/strong> Line of each matching message. If you’re part of a group email to say 20 people, it will also pull those 19 other addresses, which may be people with whom you have no relationship.<\/em> Once the email list is built, a Gmail Compose window<\/strong> will open with all of the addresses in the To<\/strong> line. Then just type a Subject<\/strong>, Message<\/strong>, personalize as needed, and then hit the GMass<\/strong><\/span> button to send individual personalized emails to each address.<\/p>\n

Pros:<\/span><\/strong> Easy to do, requires no exporting\/importing, and can be done via just the Gmail interface<\/p>\n

Cons:<\/span><\/strong> May not find every single email address in your account, and may find some addresses of people with whom you’ve had no direct contact. Limited to searching through 5,000 messages max.<\/p>\n

2. Use Google Contacts to select all of your contacts, then hit the Email icon<\/h2>\n

If you use Google Contacts<\/a> to track your contacts, you can use the Google Contacts Interface<\/a> to select all or some of your contacts, and then hit the Email<\/strong>\u00a0button to launch a Gmail Compose<\/strong> window with all of those addresses in the To<\/strong> line.<\/p>\n

First, from inside Gmail, choose Contacts<\/strong> in the upper-left menu:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Then, navigate to the list of Contacts, select all of them with the checkbox tool, and click the Email<\/strong> button. Note that it will only select the contacts on the current page, and you would have to go to the next page of contacts to separately select those. Therefore, this method is inherently limited because it will only allow you to select 250 contacts at a time.<\/em><\/p>\n
