Create a mailing list on outlook

Here's a step-by-step guide to creating a mailing list in Outlook:

Prerequisites:

• You have an Outlook account (e.g., Outlook.com, Office 365, or Exchange).
• You have a list of email addresses you want to add to your mailing list.

Create a new contact group:

1. Open Outlook and click on the "People" icon in the navigation pane.
2. Click on "New Contact Group" in the "Home" tab.
3. Enter a name for your contact group (e.g., "Marketing List").
4. Click "OK" to create the contact group.

Add contacts to the group:

1. In the "Contacts" window, click on the "Add Members" button.
2. Enter the email addresses of the contacts you want to add to the group, one per line.
3. You can also search for contacts in your Outlook address book by typing their name or email address in the search box.
4. Click "OK" to add the contacts to the group.

Edit the group settings:

1. Right-click on the contact group and select "Edit Group".
2. In the "Edit Group" window, you can add a description, change the group name, or modify the group settings.
3. Click "OK" to save the changes.

Send an email to the group:

1. Open a new email message in Outlook.
2. In the "To" field, type the name of your contact group (e.g., "Marketing List").
3. Outlook will automatically expand the group name to include all the email addresses in the group.
4. Compose your email message and send it to the group.

Tips and variations:

• You can also create a mailing list from a CSV file or an Excel spreadsheet by importing the contacts into Outlook.
• To send an email to a specific subset of the group, you can use the "BCC" (blind carbon copy) field instead of the "To" field.
• You can also use Outlook's "Distribution List" feature to send emails to a group of contacts. To do this, go to "File" > "Options" > "Mail" and click on the "Distribution List" button.
