Windows 10: Unable to send group emails to multiple contacts in Windows 10 People App

I am a Microsoft support engineer and I want to gather more feedback from you in regards to the issue that users cannot send emails to multiple contacts in People App, so I can drive a feature request with Windows engineering group.

I have submitted a Feedback Hub post with the issue description here: https://aka.ms/AA21cea

If you could upvote the issue and leave a detailed comment about your frustration with the absence of this feature, that would help me make a strong business case for the request.

Thank you very much and please comment below if you have any more questions!

Forming a group from contacts (people)


I want to send an email to a group of 35 contacts taken from my list of 90 contacts (or people as windows 10 call them). I would then give the group a title which would be put in the bcc line. Help appreciated.

 

Grouping contacts in windows 10 people app

I have just upgraded to Windows 10 but cannot find a way to group contacts in the people app so you can send an e mail to multiple contacts. In 8.1 you could add a number of contacts separated by a semicolon and when you clicked on the To bit in Mail then
you were sent to the People lists and could select a contact and add to the To line. In windows 10 you start typing the contacts name and a drop down list appears but it does not include my group name as presumably it has more than one e mail address. Anyone
found a way to send an e mail to multiple contacts.

 

Tailoring Emails Sent to Multiple Contacts


Hello.

I want to send emails to multiple contacts, separated by the ; of course, but if an individual replies, that reply would only be seen by me, the original sender.

You see, I sent an email to multiple contacts and the replies were meant for me only - not for reading by the whole contact list I sent the email to. You follow?

It is rather redundant to re-type/send individual emails saying the same thing to many contacts to get individual responses.

Let's say, for example, I sent out a performance questionnaire to many contacts. I want the contacts to reply without the other contacts knowing what their responses are.

Nothing 'shady' mind you. Just want contacts to freely express their opinions/suggestions/recommendations/help.

Thanks for your input!
