Unable to bring contact list to page

I have many groups within my contacts and when I wanted to send an email out to a group, I used to be able to just put the name of the group in "to" and got all the names from that group. I haven't used my contact lists for some time and now, when I enter a group name in "to", I can't get the names/emails. Any help will be welcomed. I'm on a MacAir laptop. Thanks if anyone can help.

Hi PatsyHo,



The following steps address what you're describing specifically, and should provide a solution:


"In your email, either the list name or individual contact names are shown, depending on how Composing settings are set in Mail.

If the list name is shown but you want to see the individual contact names instead, click the arrow next to the list name, then choose Expand Group."



You can find these steps along with other information that may be helpful, here: Email a list or Smart List in Contacts on Mac – Apple Support


If you have followed the steps correctly and you still have the issue, let us know if you get any specific alerts or error messages when trying, as those may help us determine what might be causing the issue.



We also recommend restarting your Mac and keeping it updated as those steps assure you have cleared out any minor software issues and are running the most current version.
