This tutorial will help you organize your list of contacts in gmail , mostly to those who you send email frequently. This can be very useful especially if you usually send one email to a lot of people . Be it forwards,jokes,reports,invitations etc . Instead of typing each email address manually everytime you send an email . You can create groups. So all you need to do is enter the group name and all the contacts in that group will get the email . For example : You could have groups like family,friends,work etc. So here's how you setup groups in gmail :

Step 1 : Open your Gmail Account
Step 2 : Click on Contacts

NOTE : By default three groups are already created , they are friends,family and coworkers . So if you want to add people into that category you dont need to create another group.
Step 3 : To add people to a certain group, first click on All Contacts
Step 4 : Then tick the people who you wish to add to a group. Then click on Groups and click on Add to -> Family

Step 5 : Removing a person from a group , is also done the same way.
Step 6 : If you wish to add a NEW GROUP click on the new group symbol right on the TOP


Step 7 : You can even add a new user . One user can be present in more than one group .

So the next time , your sending an email , Under TO : Just type the group name and all email ids would automatically appear.
