How to send a mail to all contacts in outlook

To send an email to all contacts in Outlook, you can follow these steps:

Method 1: Using the "To" field

1. Open Outlook and create a new email message by clicking on the "New Email" button in the Home tab.
2. In the "To" field, start typing "contacts" and select "Contacts" from the dropdown list.
3. This will open the Contacts folder, where you can select all contacts by pressing Ctrl+A.
4. Click on the "To" field again to add the selected contacts to the email.
5. Write your email message and click on the "Send" button to send the email to all contacts.

Method 2: Using the "Distribution List" feature

1. Open Outlook and go to the "Contacts" folder.
2. Select all contacts by pressing Ctrl+A.
3. Right-click on the selected contacts and select "Create a new distribution list" from the context menu.
4. Name the distribution list (e.g., "All Contacts") and click "OK".
5. Go back to the "New Email" window and click on the "To" field.
6. Start typing the name of the distribution list (e.g., "All Contacts") and select it from the dropdown list.
7. Write your email message and click on the "Send" button to send the email to all contacts.

Method 3: Using a VBA script

1. Open Outlook and go to the "Developer" tab (if you don't see this tab, you can enable it by going to File > Options > Customize Ribbon and checking the box next to "Developer").

2. Click on the "Visual Basic" button to open the Visual Basic Editor.

3. In the Editor, insert a new module by clicking on "Insert" > "Module".

4. Paste the following code into the module:

   Sub SendEmailToAllContacts()
    Dim olApp As New Outlook.Application
    Dim olMail As MailItem
    Dim olContacts As Contacts
    Dim olContact As Contact
   
    Set olContacts = olApp.GetNamespace("MAPI").GetDefaultContactFolder
    For Each olContact In olContacts.Items
        Set olMail = olApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)
        olMail.To = olContact.EmailAddress
        olMail.Subject = "Your email subject"
        olMail.Body = "Your email body"
        olMail.Send
    Next olContact
   End Sub

5. Replace the email subject and body with your own values.

6. Click on the "Run" button (or press F5) to execute the script.

7. The script will send an email to each contact in your Contacts folder.

Note: Before using the VBA script, make sure you have enabled the "Developer" tab and have the necessary permissions to run scripts in Outlook.
