And another of the functions that are undoubtedly very useful but that we use very little is to generate groups of contacts that make it easier for us to send the same email to the same recipients, without having to search for each contact. And, really, it is very easy to create a group in the same way that we all have them in apps like WhatsApp or Telegram.
When we regularly send emails to the same series of contacts, whether for work, or because we share a regular activity or hobby with them, getting them to be part of our same group speeds up and facilitates sending.
