Yes, you can.
First search for this category.
In order to do so you have to select search criterion Category after
clicking on the search icon (== magnifying glass).
Now you can type in your category, e.g. family.

It now displays addresses with the chosen category only.

Then select all of them by selecting one of them and pressing Ctrl+A.
Now right click on them and call Write.

That's it.

Be aware there is currently a bug in search part of SOGo.
It will prevent finding anything with characters outside ASCII.
AFAIK this will be fixed in the next version.

Christian Mack

 Thanks for your information, this works. But what I miss is a way to
 send all those people a BCC. I don't want they see each others e-mail.
 
 Is there a way to send all people in a category a BCC ?

Yes, you can. First compose a new mail, from this browser window select the 
addressbook (contacts). There you have the choice between To, CC and BCC

Kind regards,
Martin

Great, this works!

Is something like this possible from Thunderbird too?

Yes, but categories are not synchronized between Thunderbird and SOGo.
So you can't use both easily.

 Yes, 

How?

They are synchronized ;-)

I did a test with Family and that worked fine. Maybe because it's a
default category what was on both sides. I changed it in the Sogo
webinterface, and I saw it in Thunderbird.

But I have problems to add a categorie to a card in the webinterface of
Sogo. I am working here with relative older browsers from Debian stable,
and it does not work well with all browsers (Iceweasel, Chromium, Epiphany).

With regards,
Paul.

It's partially true.
Events categories are not synchronized
Contacts sare synchronized

[SOGo] What can I do with categories?

2011-11-22 Thread Paul van der Vlis
Hello,

Categories are a nice feature, but I don't know what I can do with it
except seeing it.

Let's say a category is family, can I send e.g. an e-mail to all
people in that category?

With regards,
Paul.
