There are a couple of options available to achieve this, but first, you'll need to add the "Write Email" contextual menu item.

To do this:

  1. Open the Daylite Preferences.
  2. Select "Contextual Menu."
  3. Select "Group."
  4. Drag the item "Write Email" from the 'Available menu items' window into the 'Group menu" window.
  5. Perform the same steps for "Person."

Before

Groups_Contextual Menu

After

Groups_Contextual Menu

You now have the ability to perform the following tasks:

Scenario 1 - Email 'all' contacts linked to a group

  1. In the group's view, highlight the name of a group.
  2. Right-click the group name to produce a contextual menu.
  3. Select the option "Write Email."

Groups_write email 4. A new email message window will appear with the email addresses of the contacts linked to the group.

Holding down the [option] key whilst clicking 'Write Email" will add the email addresses to the Bcc: field in the new email message window.

Scenario 2 - Email specific contacts linked to a group

  1. In the group's view, highlight the name of a group.
  2. Select the contacts you would like to email.
  3. Right-click any of the contact names to produce the contextual menu.
  4. Select the option "Write Email."
  5. A new email message window will appear with the email addresses of the contacts linked to the group.

Groups_write email 6. A new email message window will appear with the email addresses of the contacts linked to the group.

Holding down the [option] key whilst clicking 'Write Email" will add the email addresses to the Bcc: field in the new email message window.

This also applies to other objects as well, such as Companies, Projects, Appointments etc.
