Support writing email to contact group

[mithodin]

Many e-mail clients support sending an e-mail to multiple contacts at once via contact groups. Rainloop does not allow this, which makes sending mail to larger groups of people rather tedious and error-prone. Please add support for contact groups.

I agree, it's an essential feature please :)

Yes, add contact groups in Rainloop please.

Thank !

Not perfect, but you can define a contact with concatenated email addresses. Then, when you select this contact in the email composing screen, it will be exploded into separate email recipients :)

For that, upload the plugin excel-multirow-maillist-parser to rainloop/data/_data_/_default_/plugins and activate it in your Rainloop admin panel / plugins tab. Then create a contact with 1 email address defined as : [email protected],[email protected],[email protected]

A bit late, but i would like this functionality as well.

Unfortunately i am unable to activate excel-multirow-maillist-parser in the plugins panel: "Invalid plugin package" Rainloop is v1.16.0, tried on 1.14.0 as well.

Comparing it to another simple plugin, snowfall-on-login-screen, everything looks the same

Actually, I am now running with https://git.pofilo.fr/mirrors/rainloop-webmail/src/branch/master/plugins/contact-group-excel-paste Tested on both 1.14.0 and 1.16.0

Got it to load by renaming to the plugin folder from excel-multirow-maillist-parser to parse-excel-list to match the class name ParseExcelListPlugin.

With this version of the plugin, I found out I couldn't type anything in Name for the new "group" contact, because it is expanded to "groupname" <[email protected],[email protected]> which is an invalid recipient syntax and had to leave it blank, which limits the usability of it.

Can you please test on your installation of contact-group-excel-paste if it allows to have a name for that group contact?

Yes, this is what I have :

Well, I know it's been a long time for this but I've managed to follow along and have the plugin for the parse-excel-list showing on my plugin page, but when I click on it, it shows an "invalid plugin" error. Anyone interested in throwing me a bone here to help out?

Hi, I'm running Rainloop 1.17.0 with the plugin contact-group-excel-paste, make sure you have the right folder name :

Yes, this is what I have :

I got the plugin to show under Plugins [using your version from https://git.pofilo.fr/mirrors/rainloop-webmail/src/branch/master/plugins/contact-group-excel-paste] and its activated but when I try to add this:

I get this issue:
