I'm looking for an Outlook add-in that will send emails to groups of
people individually.

Why use an add-in when Office comes with that ability natively? Use Help
and look up "mail merge".
 
OK, I'm going through the tutorial to use mail merge - next question, can I
select the recipients of the email by category? I see you can select by
state, etc., but categories aren't even in the list that pops up while
selecting for the merge.

If I click on the contact list, I get contacts that I don't want to send
this particular email to, but can't figure out how to sort out by category.
It would be a real pain to go through the list and uncheck the contacts I
don't want the email to go to.

Start in your Contacts folder and view it in the By Category view. Select
the category you want, then click Tools>Mail Merge. The first dialogue that
appears should allow you to choose your selection as the data source.
 
I can start the Mail Merge procedure through Outlook instead of through Word
as the Microsoft tutorial instructs? That seems to make more sense, but I
was just following the tutorial.

Thanks for your help, I appreciate it.
