Google Mail: Create Manage and Delete Contact Groups

Google Apps organizes all the people and groups you correspond with—both personal and within the Cedarville organization—within an online address book called the Contact Manager. This help page addresses how to create contact groups, manage contact groups (edit a group's name, add contacts, and remove contacts from a group), and delete contact groups.

Warning!

If the steps below do not work for you, you may be using the older version of Google Contacts. To create and manage Google groups in the old version, see the "Group and sort contacts" section of the Google help page Use the old version of Contacts.
