What Are Email Groups?
Note: This section is only for people unfamiliar with Gmail and Google Groups. Feel free to skip ahead to the walkthrough on using Gmail groups.

An email group (contact group) is a collection of email accounts to which you send emails. When a group owner sends an email to an email group, all the email contacts in that group label will receive the same email.

Creating groups in Gmail is one of the quickest ways to send multiple emails.
Instead of manually adding multiple recipients, you’re directly adding the contact group label to your email address field instead.

But is a Gmail group different from a Google Group?
Yes!

A Google Group is basically a discussion group for multiple people with similar interests.

Each Google Group has a group email account and a single, shared inbox.
Additionally, you can use the group settings to set a Google Group’s group type as:

Email List: for sending emails to/from a single email ID.
Q&A Forum: for asking or answering questions.
Web Forum: for community members with similar interests.
Collaborative Inbox: to assign topics for each group member and track them.
Unlike Google Groups, a Gmail group is only a Gmail distribution list — it’s a collection of email addresses. It doesn’t have a common group account ID, group type, or collaborative inbox.
