# Send mail to a Contact Group (Distribution Group) - Airmail for macOS

Airmail makes sending mail to a contact group very simple. These groups can either be in your Apple 
 Contacts App or your Google Contacts.

 Let’s get started.


######  Create Contact Group

 To use a contact group, you will first need to create a group with contacts in either your **Apple Contacts** App or with **Google Contacts**.


######  Sync Contact Group with Airmail App

 It is important to note that Airmail syncs contacts from Google and the Apple Contacts app upon opening 
 the Airmail. Therefore quit Airmail and start it up again each time you make changes in contacts in either of 
 the source, to sync them with Airmail.

 Alternatively you can force a contact sync.

 1. Go to Airmail Preferences > Advanced.
 2. Choose Sync Contacts

 This will update all changes that you made to contacts (on Gmail contacts or Apple Contacts) to sync with 
 Airmail.

 the limit from your provider. For example Gmail allows a maximum of 99 recipients per message.
