EmailList.io – Easy Group Emailing

For all the advances in modern technology, it’s a wonder group emailing has changed so little in the last decade. People still struggle to remember email addresses, they forget to click “reply all” when responding to the group, and they accidentally ‘CC messages that they meant to ‘BCC. EmailList.io is a group-emailing tool that simplifies this process.

Get started with EmailList.io by creating a free account and adding multiple email addresses to your custom lists. You can create a list with the addresses of your work buddies, a list with the addresses of your family members, and a list with the addresses of your adult soccer league teammates. Create as many lists you want, separated by category or topic. Invite up to 25 people to join each list, and then start sending subsequent messages to a special EmailList.io address (like BobsFamilyList@emaillist.io or BobsWorkList@emaillist.io). Any messages sent to a EmailList.io email address will immediately be forwarded to the appropriate list.

By using EmailList.io, you can save time and reduce errors when sending emails to large groups of people. The application lets you send an unlimited number of messages to people on three lists, and then charges $1 per year, per subsequent list. EmailList.io stores email addresses securely and privately, which means privacy isn’t an issue when you use the web-based application.
