Question

I received an email from someone. I want to reply to that person and also add another person to the response so that the different contact can view the entire conversation. How do I perform this task?

Community Answer

When you click reply, at the top where it says "To:" add the new person's email. Then when you send the email to the person that sent it to you, it should also send to the other person as well with the whole conversation.

Question

What if I click "Add New Contact" but there's no response?

Community Answer

At the top left, click Gmail > Contacts, then click More > Export. Choose whether to export all contacts or only one group. Select the format in which you'd like to export your contacts' information. To transfer contacts between Google Accounts, use the Google CSV format. This is the recommended way to back up your Google Contacts.

Question

How do I make all my contacts on Gmail a group? How do I add them all at the same time?

Community Answer

Go to the URL contacts.google.com. Make sure you're signed in. Expand the "Labels" tab on the left side of the page. Click "Create Label" and type in the group name, then hit "Save". To add multiple people to the group at the same time, scroll over each person's contact and click the box that appears. At the top of the page, click the icon that looks like a box with a pointy side. Select the group label so a check appears next to it, then hit "Apply". All the selected contacts will now be placed in the group. If you want to add all your contacts to one group, follow the same process, except select one box, then click the box at the top of the page, which will let you select all contacts.

What do I do if I added a new contact, but when I type an email and try to enter that person's name, Contacts isn't autofilling the name?

Community Answer

Did you put it on an Apple device? If you did, try to Ctrl + C Ctrl +V (Copy and Paste) the email from the contact into your Send bar, and the contact should save.
