Use the By Category view to help you select all the contacts in a category.
Choose Actions | New Message to Contact. Cut and paste the addresses from
the To box to the Bcc box.

I dont understand how to do it. I need to email updates to all my good
clients but I dont want them to be able to identify each other via email as
some are competitors. I need something that allows me to mass email them but
without them being able to see who else has recieved the email.
Please explain if this is possible and how to do it.
Thanks

Some form of sending individual emails is the way to go. Either try mail
merge (look it up in the help) or try our email scheduler
(http://www.repeatmail.com) which will allow you to send multiple individual
emails, html or plain text, with attachments, either as a one-off or
regularly at a specified time and interval. The recipients list can be drawn
from your Outlook Contacts, a plain text file,database or spreadsheet. It
also allows you to specify the interval between each send so as to avoid
triggering any spam limits on your account. Outlook is not needed to send.
Your machine needs to be switched on, but you don't even have to be logged
in. Works with Win 98/XP/2003/Vista
Neither a mail merge nor your product is necessary to accomplish what the OP
said he wanted to do. Both are reasonable alternatives.

The info below is from 2005, using Outlook 2007, how is the below done? I
don't see "New Message to Contact" in the Actions. What window/view of
Outlook 07 must one be in to click the Choose Actions? (Do I start with a new
mail message? Or somewhere in the Contacts, or somewhere viewing an existing
email message?)
What view must one be in to choose the "By Category view"? (Is it a subset
of something that opens after "New Message to Contact" (above)?)
Thank you Sue for continuing to be so helpful (by other posts you have
answered).

"By Category" IS the view. You can't miss it. It's right there in the
Navigation Pane as a one of the default choices when you are looking at your
Contacts. The Actions menu is in the Menu bar of every view of the Contacts
Folder.

The problem was that I added each of the (55) email addresses as a contact,
and categorized each one of those 55 as category "green" (I gave it a new
name), did "Save and Close", however not one of them kept the category I gave
it (although each was added as a contact). I had to go through the entire
contact list and re-tell Outtaluck that it was to be in a particular
category. (Not only that, but they don't show as the green category color
when not viewed by category, and you have no way of telling it's in any
category without the category column/field in the view.)
The second problem is that there is no "Actions | New Message to Contact".
It's "Actions | Create | New Message to Contact"!

I assume that by now you have figured out how to create Contacts correctly.
"Green" is not a category. Did you have remaining questions?

Not here. Green is a color I can assign to a category if I want.

When I first installed OL 2007, I had a bunch of default categories named
"red category", "green category", "yellow category" etc.

I bet running the "upgrade to Color Categories" utility removes the option
to use a color as a category because it assigns the colors to existing
categories. Since I ran that first thing, I never saw a color as a category.
