This article discusses how to create an Outlook contact list or contact group. A contact list or group is a collection of email addresses that is useful for sending email to a group of people without having to enter each recipient's email address one at a time. In addition to using a contact list or group to send an email, users can create an Outlook meeting and invite the contact list or group to the meeting.
1. On the left side panel, select People.
2. Select New Contact Group from the drop-down arrow next to New Contact.
3. Enter a Name for your new list, then select Add Members to add contacts to your new list.
4. When you are finished, select Save & Close.
5. To send an email to the contact group, select New Email. In the To: field, type the name of your contact group. All members of your contact group will receive the email.
6. To send a meeting invitation to the contact group, select the calendar icon in the left navigation pane, and select New Meeting. In the Required or Optional field, type the name of your contact group. When you send the meeting invitation, the contact group members will receive the invitation.
