[SalesForce] How to send Mass Email from List View in Contact Or Lead using custom button

I have created class for sending a email and calling this "class" and "method" in new custom button..This logic works for "Detailed page Button"and for single record but how to make it work for List views for mass Email ?

This is the Class

global class outbound_Emails{
        webservice static void SendEmailNotification (){
    Messaging.SingleEmailMessage mail = new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage();
    mail.setToAddresses(new string[] {'abc@gmail.com});//
    mail.setSenderDisplayName('From Name');
    mail.setSubject('Sending a Email From SFDC');
    mail.setHtmlBody('This is the Body for testing the send email function via custom button, which i should include in list view');
       Messaging.sendEmail(new messaging.SingleEmailMessage[] {mail});
    }
}

This is the button

{!requireScript("/soap/ajax/20.0/connection.js")} 
{!requireScript("/soap/ajax/20.0/apex.js")} 

var retStr; 
retStr = sforce.apex.execute("outbound_Emails", "SendEmailNotification",{}); 


 alert(retStr);

Assuming you have this button on a related list/list view, you can use the {!GETRECORDIDS} javascript function to get the list/array of id of the selected records. You can then send this array to your apex class and then query the email field to get the email. YOu can do something like this:

{!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/28.0/connection.js")}
{!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/28.0/apex.js")}
var recordIdArray = {!GETRECORDIDS($ObjectType.Contact)};
console.log('the record Ids are' + recordIdArray);
var retStr = sforce.apex.execute("outbound_Emails", "SendEmailNotification",{conId: recordIdArray});

global class outbound_Emails{
        webservice static void SendEmailNotification (list<id> conId){
            list<contact> conList = [SELECT name,email FROM contact WHERE id IN : conId];
            system.debug('the selected contacts are  ' + conList);
            //you can iterate over this list to get the email and send the mail
        }
}

Take a look at the Salesforce AJAX Toolkit documented here. It is a JavaScript wrapper library around the Saleforce Partner API (a SOAP API). Which does provide an operation sendEmail. There is a JavaScript example of using the 'sendEmail' operation via the AJAX Toolkit here.

// single mail request

var singleRequest = new sforce.SingleEmailMessage();
singleRequest.replyTo = "jsmith@acme.com";
singleRequest.subject = "sent through ajax test driver";

singleRequest.plainTextBody = "this test went through ajax";
singleRequest.toAddresses = ["noone@nowhere.com"];

// mass mail request - need to get email template ID

var queryResponse = sforce.connection.query("select id from emailtemplate");
var templatedId = queryResponse.getArray("records")[0].Id;
var massRequest = new sforce.MassEmailMessage();
massRequest.targetObjectIds = [globalContact.id];
massRequest.replyTo = "jsmith@acme.com";
massRequest.subject = "sent through ajax test driver";
massRequest.templateId = templateId;

var sendMailRes = sforce.connection.sendEmail([singleRequest, massRequest]);

EMAIL TEMPLATE NOTE: The Salesforce sample above references an Email Template, you can create these just as you do Visualforce pages. Note that in your case you'll likely want to query for a specific one. Also if you wanted to share your Quote Visualforce page into such a a template, I've used Visualforce Components in the past to share my Visualforce markup between a VF page and a VF Email Template. You can of course just copy and paste into the VF Email Template, depending on how often your page changes this might be easier.

So, since you're code is incomplete I'm going to make a quick assumption:

You are using the standard controller with an extension

Your extension will NOT see the contact directly. You have to create a new variable in your extension that holds the contact provided by the standard controller:

public Contact c {get; set;}
public classname (standardController con) {
    c = con.getRecord();
    //Note: the record will ONLY contain fields available on the page which should work
    //in your case. If you need to access more fields than what is on the page
    //you will need to query for the contact:
    // c = [SELECT Id, Email FROM Contact WHERE Id = :con.getRecord().Id];
}

Once you do that, you should be able to fill your email address by referencing the new variable within your method:

Messaging.reserveSingleEmailCapacity(2);
Messaging.SingleEmailMessage mail = new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage();

**String[] toAddresses = new String[]();**
**toAddresses.add(c.Email);**

// Assign the addresses for the To and CC lists to the mail object.
mail.setToAddresses(toAddresses);  
mail.setReplyTo('xyz@yahoo.com');

mail.setSenderDisplayName('KFC');
mail.setSubject('Your upcoming shift with KFC');
mail.setBccSender(false);
mail.setPlainTextBody('Hi,I am sending a email');

If you are not using the standard set controller with an extension; rather, you are using a completely custom controller, that means you have something like this in your controller:

Contact contact = new Contact();

Shame on you...

Regardless, the answer is much easier:

Messaging.reserveSingleEmailCapacity(2);
Messaging.SingleEmailMessage mail = new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage();

**String[] toAddresses = new String[]();**
**toAddresses.add(contact.Email);**

// Assign the addresses for the To and CC lists to the mail object.
mail.setToAddresses(toAddresses);  
mail.setReplyTo('xyz@yahoo.com');

mail.setSenderDisplayName('KFC');
mail.setSubject('Your upcoming shift with KFC');
mail.setBccSender(false);
mail.setPlainTextBody('Hi,I am sending a email');
