Creating a Contacts Group

If you frequently send one message to the same group of people, you can gather all their addresses into a group, and then all you need to do is enter the group name to send the message to all the individuals. It's a real time-saver.

Create a Group

In Windows Mail, click the Contacts button to display the Contacts folder.

In the Contacts folder, click New Contact Group to display the Properties dialog box.

On the Contact Group tab, type a descriptive name, or alias, for the group.

Click Add To Contact Group.

Click to select the name of someone you want to include in the group. Hold down the Ctrl key and continue clicking names until the contact group list is complete.

Click Add.

Type a name and an e-mail address for someone you want to add to the list but don't want to save as a contact, and then click Create For Group only.

Add any further information to the Contact Group Details tab.

Click OK.

Try This!

Create a group. Start a new e-mail message, and use the group name as the address in the To line. Send the message, and then look at that message in your Sent Items folder. Note that the address of each member of the group is listed.
