Hi,
I am going to change my default email and wish to inform
all my approx. 600 contacts. Is there any way to do that
without having to click on each contact in the address
book?
Thanks
 
You can select them all in your Contacts Folder and then choose Action-> New
Message to contact.

Ask your ISP how many people you can address in one mail. It is very likely
that this has been limited.

Hope this helps!
 
Roady has a point about the ISP limit on sending to multiple recipients.
Another thing to consider is that these days, it's a good idea to hide
the e-mail addresses when sending to a large group of people, to keep
the addresses private and keep them out of the hands of spammers.

For these reasons, you might want to consider doing a mail merge to your
contacts, so that each contact gets an e-mail message addressed only to
him or her. If you have Word installed, and it's the same version as
Outlook (e.g. both 2000 or both 2002), you can do a mail merge to your
contacts folder. If not, you might want to look into a 3rd party mass
mailing program. More information on these ideas can be found here:
