SharePoint provides OOTB functionality to email selected users from any SharePoint Group. You can go to any SharePoint group and select the users and click Actions — > Email Users.
Limitation:
The email users functionality will not work , if you select large number of users .It will show a message “Too many e-mail addresses were selected“.
Below is the inbuilt JavaScript method called when you click on Email Users.
function BtnEmailClick(viewId)
{ULSJyi:;
var emails = GetSelectedUsers(viewId, "email", ";");
if (emails.length == 0)
{
alert(noUserEmailSelectedMsg);
return false;
}
emails = "mailto:" + escapeProperly(emails);
if (emails.length > 2083)
{
alert(tooManyUserEmailSelectedMsg);
return false;
}
window.location = emails;
return false;
}
There is no fixed number limit on the number of users selected, but it depends on the total characters of user emails selected.You can see there is a validation performed that total length of emails should not exceed 2083 , because maximum URL length is 2083 in almost all browsers.See the Microsoft Knowledge base article.
