Create a Mailing List in UMail on the Web

You can create mailing lists in UMail on the Web from the contacts in your UMail Address Book. This makes the process of regularly sending messages to multiple recipients more efficient.
Note: This process creates a mailing list in UMail on the Web that only you can access. For more information on creating email lists using Mailman, see our Electronic Mailing Lists documentation.

Create a Mailing List

  2. In UMail on the Web, click the Address Book link (bottom center). The Address Book screen will open.
    Note: You must add the names and email addresses of all the people you would like to add to your mailing list to your address book. For more information on managing contacts, see our Address Book documentation.

    • Click the Browse link (top left). All of your contacts will be listed on the screen.
    • Check the boxes next to those contacts whose email address you wish to include in your mailing list.
    • From the Add To drop-down menu (top right), select New List then click the Add To button. The https://mail-www.oit.umass.edu pop-up window will open.
