Did you know you can bundle any set of contacts into a single group and send a message to everyone with just one address? It’s a huge time saver and eliminates the risk of forgetting a recipient.
Here’s how to create a group: desktop – Outlook 365
- Switch to People: the icon at the bottom of the navigation pane
- Click New Contact Group, or New, then Contact Group
- Give the group a clear name
- Click Add Members, choose From Outlook Contacts or From Address Book, select the people you want, then click OK
- Click Save & Close
Here’s how to create a group: web – outlook.com
- Open People, then click New contact list, or New, then Contact List
- Give the list a clear name
- Click Add Members, pick contacts from your address book or type new email addresses, then hit Create
Why it’s so handy:
One click in the To field expands the whole group, keeping your message tidy and ensuring everyone gets the same info instantly. Updating a group is as easy as editing the list with no need to rewrite dozens of addresses.
Give it a try next time you need to reach a project team, club, or family list.
