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.
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 → 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.
How to create a group – Web (Outlook.com / Outlook on the web)
– Open People, then click New contact list (or New → Contact List).
– Name the list, 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!
As key project members in many of our IT projects whether, actively assisted or simply advised what they do not know about IT, in our opinion isn’t worth knowing!
