On our Drupal-site (7.12), user-accounts belong to families, so multiple email
addresses are quit useful. The module http://drupal.org/project/multiple_email takes care of that nicely.

However, we use http://drupal.org/project/mass_contact to send mails to all members of a certain
category (role), and these mails should be sent to all persons, not just all
accounts. In other words: to all email addresses of these accounts.

This did not happen when I tried. Only the primary email addresses received
the mass_contact-email.

In which way the multiple email addresses can be used to receive email?

The "multiple email" module (and the use case that lead you to using it) is obscure enough that there is not likely a simple way to send a mass contact to all email addresses of all accounts (of a given role). You would probably have to hack patch your Mass contacts module to work with your use case. Or maybe there is another module that will allow for the multiple email addresses per account. I think it might be a better solution to have a group of accounts for a family and work out whatever complications that introduces to the system, but at least then it would be simple to email all user addresses. (A family could have "user reference"—e.g. with entity reference module—to other members of a family or there could be a "family" entity that groups all users of a family).

You might also try and post a support request in one of those modules' issue queues to see if anyone else has ever tried doing this.

I would have suggested that, or searching the issue queues, but the multiple email module really only has a handful of D7 users if you look at the stats. It's still a very early dev release.
