How to Create a Group List in Outlook

Need to get a message out to a group of people? Do you often need to email the same group of people? This list (group) of people is called a “distribution lists” in Outlook. These lists make it easy to email a group of people.

To setup a mailing list in Outlook, follow these instructions:

Select File, then New and Distribution List from the menu. In Outlook 2010, select the New Items button, then More Items, then Contact Group.

This will open the Contact Group window. Give your group/list a name and click on Add Members and select the people that you want to add from your Outlook Contacts, Address book or create new ones.

After you have the contacts that you want in the group, click Save & Close.

Now when you create a message, you should be able to type in the name of the contact group that you created.
