How To Make A Distribution List In Microsoft Outlook

There are very few email management programs as useful in providing so many features as Microsoft Outlook. Developed by the Redmond based software maker, Outlook offers many useful features apart from the basic email sending and receiving options. Users can access calendar, schedule interviews, manage appointments, allocate tasks, set events, and perform many other things in Outlook. When used to its true caliber, Microsoft Outlook can really enhance the overall emailing experience.

One of the most striking features in Outlook is the ability to make contact groups. Actually, this Distribution List feature is used by users when they wish to send a particular email message to a group of people. When the set Distribution List is used, the contacts included in the directory will receive the same email message, all at the same time.

This really saves a huge amount of time because the email message is sent to a group instead of manually typing every email address. The OmniTech Support team guides you how to create a Distribution List in Outlook. Here are the steps involved:

Instructions

• For making a Distribution List in Microsoft Outlook, go to File and then click on New. Then, select the Distribution List option from the drop down menu.
