when I tried to create a new address book, when I entered the name to send the email, it was on a RED background. Can I send it?

Couldn't find a way to create a new address book, so I used an old one and re-named it and added a new list of names and emails, but when I tried to send an email message, when I typed in the name of the new address book, the field turned RED. Can I send it? How to create a new address book that will work? THANK YOU!

Just to clarify: an addressbook holds an inventory of email addresses. A mailing list is a subset of an addressbook and can be used to send an email that goes to all entries. My inference is that you are attempting to use an addressbook for a mailing list. To create a mailing list, there is a small icon to the right of the 'new contact' button on addressbook pane. If I misunderstood, please clarify. Thank you
