I have a group of about 5 people that I email on a regular basis. How can I set up Gmail so I can easily email everyone in this group without having to type in these five addresses (granted there is autocomplete) every time I want to send a message to them?

- From contacts list, click on the contact you want to manage.
- At the top are tabs with the groups the contact is associated with.
- If this contact has multiple addresses, there will be a menu associated with the group.
- Pull down the menu (little arrow) and choose which addresses should be used for the group.
It seems that this method is working with the old version of the contacts list. If you don't see the set of group tabs at the top of the contact page, go to the menu on the left side and look for the option that says Leave the contacts preview. Clicking that should take you to a version of the list that allows you to edit the group contact addresses as I explained.
On the old version of contacts, in the list of contacts you can see what groups they're each in on the right hand side:
Contacts that are in no groups show an empty space.
Disclaimer: this is how it appears in my normal Gmail account.

Best Answer
If you already have the addresses in a group, two methods come to mind.
If you'd just rather type one email address and have it go to everyone, there are a multitude of services where you can do that. Google Groups is one. (But that's probably overkill for five people.)
