A Contact Group, known in previous Microsoft Outlook versions as a distribution list, is the grouping of email addresses into a group. A message sent to a Contact Group goes to all the recipients listed in the group. You can include Contact Groups in email messages, meeting requests, task requests, and in other Contact Groups.There is no maximum number of names that you can include in a Contact Group. There is no maximum number of names that you can include in a Contact Group.
Easily add contact group members from emails' senders or recipients in Outlook Normally, we can copy a sender or a recipient from an email, and then add it as a contact group member with Add Members From Address Book, and it seems no way to add multiple emails' multiple senders or recipients into a contact group in bulk. You can easily create a new Contact Group by going to the Outlook People tab - New Contact Group. However, once you create it, Outlook makes it pretty hard for you to find the newly created group. If you want to send an email to one or more Contact Groups, you can simply create a new email and start to type the group name in the TO field.
Sometimes, instead of forwarding the text of an email or copying and pasting email text, you want the recipient to get the exact email itself: To do this in both Outlook 2013/2016 and Outlook Web App, it’s easiest to find the email you wish to attach and simply drag and drop it onto the email you are preparing to send. Step one: Create a Contact Group First, open Outlook and navigate to the ‘People’ tab using the people icon in the folder pane. You’ll find the folder pane on the left-hand side of your Outlook screen. Next, click ‘New Contact Group’ in Outlook’s main ribbon, located at the top of your screen.
