Hotmail email groups
Hotmail email groups, also known as Hotmail distribution lists or Hotmail mailing lists, allow you to send the same email to multiple recipients at once. Here's how to create and manage Hotmail email groups:
Creating a Hotmail Email Group:
- Log in to your Hotmail account.
- Click on the "Contacts" tab.
- Click on "New Contact Group" (or "New Distribution List" in some versions).
- Enter a name for your group and add the email addresses of the people you want to include in the group.
- Click "Save" to create the group.
Adding or Removing Members from a Hotmail Email Group:
- Go to the "Contacts" tab.
- Find the group you want to manage and click on it.
- Click on "Edit Group" (or "Manage Group" in some versions).
- Add or remove email addresses from the group by clicking the "+" or "-" buttons.
- Click "Save" to update the group.
Sending an Email to a Hotmail Email Group:
- Compose a new email as you normally would.
- In the "To" field, enter the name of the group you want to send the email to.
- The email will be sent to all members of the group.
Tips and Considerations:
- When you send an email to a group, all members will receive a copy of the email, including the sender's email address.
- You can only add email addresses that are already in your Hotmail contacts list to a group.
- You can't add email addresses from other email providers to a Hotmail group.
- Hotmail groups are not the same as Microsoft Exchange groups, which are used for business purposes.
- If you're using a Hotmail account with a Microsoft account, you may need to use the Microsoft Outlook app or the Outlook.com website to manage your email groups.
