Temporarily i have to use a web based email client, so have imported a load of contacts into Gmail.
Created some groups and they all show the contacts in list view and quantity by group name in the left hand panel in the contacts section...so far so good...

Hit compose and try to add a group, not a chance in hell...when I select a group even My Contacts its says no contacts found...
Tried in Firefox, Chrome and Edge....

Google search shows up nothing except clear caches blah blah, no difference.

Any ideas ?

Just to clarify the method that should work using the Google web address https://mail.google.com/mail/?tab=wm :-

- You Hit Compose to create new message,
- You then Click on the 'To:' text that Opens which displays the Contacts Page,
- You then click 'My Contacts' to expand the list were you should now see your previously created / imported Group name(s).
- If so, clicking on the group name should display the list of contacts contained within and you can then click 'Select All' or select each address individually.

The above works for me.

Done all that...groups show and the amount of contacts in the group etc, but when I try to add the group to the mail and select the group from the contacts page it shows no contacts..have just created a brand new account and tried on another laptop ...exactly the same...
Used your link, the same...

The time Ive wasted on this it would have been cheaper to have bought a new domain and email package...

This just confirms why I dont use web based email like gmail , outlook et al..
