Is there any option to send email in private to all members at once?

This has been discussed at length in this topic.

Any mass email functionality?

I’m in a similar situation, and after doing some research and thinking, I’ve concluded that this is not Discourse’s problem. So here’s a workaround. Two very important caveats There could be a law against this type of mass sending, depending on where you’re sending to/from. If you follow bad practices, you risk having your sender address (possibly even your root domain; I don’t know exactly how these things work) marked as spam by major services like Gmail. Personally I don’t see an issue wit…

The recommended approach is to export your user list and import that into mailchimp or whatever mass mailing tool you prefer.

If you don’t want to use an external mass mailing tool, I’d suggest to create a category called “Newsletter” or “Updates and Announcements” or whatever and make all new users watch it by default (or better: watching first post). Existing users would have to be made to watch via command line in a one time operation.

As far as I know there is no built-in way of preventing users from un-watching that category, but that would also apply to Mailchimp & co.
