A Google Group is a user-owned group created using the Google Groups service. Google Groups not only allows you to manage and archive your mailing list, but also provides a method for true communication and collaboration with group members. Unlike other free mailing list services, Google Groups offers generous storage limits, customizable pages, and unique management options. As always, Google Groups displays only relevant text ads (never banners or pop-up ads).
To move your mailing list to Google Groups, just follow these steps:
- Click the "Create a group..." button on the Google Groups homepage. If you're not already signed in to your Google Account, sign in, name your group, and fill out the other required information.
- Enter the email addresses of the people you'd like to invite to your group. If you'd prefer to directly add your members, click the "Add members directly" link. (Copying and pasting an existing list of email addresses into this form is one easy way of populating your group.)
- Write an invitation or welcome message, and select an email subscription option for your members if you're directly adding them.
- Click the "Invite members" or "Add members" button. Google will send notifications or invitations to your group members.
Please note that our policy is to review all requests to add or invite a large number of new members. Requests are usually reviewed within two business days. Once approved, your request will be processed shortly thereafter.
