Yahoo Email Contacts List

At work I have a rather large list of contacts, sometimes I have multiple email addresses within one single contact. For example, lets say I have a contact "Bob", within that contact I have L: emailaddress1@techpowerupisawesome.com and L: emailaddress2@techpowerupisawesome.com. When I begin a new email, if I type "Bob", both of these addresses will appear, but I can only select one. I'd like to select both without having to retype Bob to make the list appear again to click the other.

I'm aware you can click the "To:" button to make the list of contacts appear, but you need to scroll down and find your contact, then shift click to select them all. Scrolling around can be troublesome with the amount of contacts I have. I'm not really interested in making groups for various reasons.

So is what I'm trying to do possible or am I asking too much?

 

Need a Solution to Deal With Yahoo Email Contacts

I've been having a lot of problems with Yahoo email for work related things. Here's the situation...

My boss has all his contacts, and I need to create contact groups of anywhere between 15-40 emails depending who needs to be emailed. This way it's all ready for him. He can just select the group, type his message and it goes out. These groups are temporary and are created and deleted on a daily basis.

The problem however, is that Yahoo's email is just terrible. I have this issue where I delete a contact group when I'm done with it, and anywhere from minutes later to days later it just shows up again. It doesn't actually have any email contacts within it, just the empty group reappears. It's also painfully slow. Sometimes I sit trying to search for and add one contact to a contact group, and it can take a minute or two before I'm able to do it. So if I need to add 100 people between a few different groups, this can add up to a lot of wasted time.

I thought of using Outlook, but I'm not very familiar with it and might run into a few issues. As far as I'm aware, Outlook saves everything locally on your computer. So if I did create contact groups for him to email on my PC, it would not be available to him on any of the PCs he uses...right?

As much as I'd love to switch to a different email provider, I don't believe it's an option at this point. Yahoo works fine for everyone else for the most part, because they don't deal with contact groups on the same level as I do.

If anyone has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it. This situation is extremely frustrating.
