A contact list is a set of contacts with a single nickname that you create. When you send e-mail to the nickname, it is sent to every member of the list. This differs from a network mailing list in that it exists only on your computer as a convenience to you, rather than as an actual e-mail address managed by a mailing list application on a server.For example, you could create one card for each family member, then add those cards to a contact list called Family. Then, instead of entering each person's e-mail address individually, you can send e-mail to Family and the message would go to all of them. To create a list of contacts: Open the list creation dialog box by clicking the New List button.orClick File > New > Contact List.Specify a name for the list.Specify the names or e-mail addresses of contacts.orDrag contacts from the main window into the list.Choose whether you want to hide the e-mail addresses when you send a message to the list. Unless it is a very small list, it is recommended that you leave the addresses hidden. This is the same thing as using the Bcc: feature discussed in Specifying Additional Recipients for E-Mail.When you are finished, click OK. The list appears as a contact card, which you can use as you would any other card, including e-mailing the list to another person and sending e-mail to the list.To mail the list, open a new e-mail and type the name you chose for the list. Evolution addresses the message to the entire list when you send the message. You can also right-click the list's address card in the contacts tool and select Send Message to List.Evolution cannot store contact lists on Microsoft Exchange servers.
