Create a distribution list

If you regularly send e-mail messages to a group of people, you can create a distribution list to simplify addressing messages and meeting requests. After a distribution list has been created, you can send a message or meeting request to multiple recipients at the same time. Distribution lists can include anyone with a valid e-mail address.

  1. On the main toolbar, in the list next to New, click Distribution List.
  2. To add a member of your organization or a personal contact to your distribution list, in Add to Distribution List, type the person's name or e-mail address, and then click Add. Repeat this step for each person you want to add.

    Note  If Microsoft Office Outlook Web Access can't resolve a name or e-mail address, the Check Names screen opens. Use the Check Names screen to resolve your entry with the correct person, and then click Apply.


  3. To add a person outside of your organization to your distribution list, in Add to Distribution List, type the person's e-mail address.
  4. Click Save.

Tip  To delete the distribution list from your address book, click Delete Button image on the toolbar. To send a message to all members of the distribution list, click Send mail to list Button image on the toolbar.
