Create address group.

Post by Dave Davison »

Hi..decided to create a group of special friends to whom I wish to send the same email without having to enter them individually but when clicking Help and type the question, the answer (see 1st screen shot) says click [ Calendar > Scheduling > Group Schedules ] but these options are not available in the drop down menu. HELP :scratch: Dave.

I have moved this thread from the Windows (Live) Mail/Outlook Express forum to the Outlook forum because it is about Outlook.
Best wishes,
Hans

You don't want to create a group schedule - that is intended for appointments, not for group e-mails.
For group e-mails, you can create a so-called distribution list.
From Grouping contacts:
Create a distribution list by using names in your Address Book
  1. On the File menu, point to New, and then click Distribution List.
  2. In the Name box, type a name.
  3. On the Distribution List tab, click Select Members.
  4. In the Address Book drop-down list, click the address book that contains the e-mail addresses you want in your distribution list.
  5. In the Search box, type a name that you want to include. In the list below, click the name, and then click Members. Do this for each person whom you want to add to the distribution list, and then click OK.
If you want to include a longer description of the distribution list, on the Distribution List tab, click Notes, and then add it .

The distribution list is saved in your Contacts folder by the name that you give it.
Best wishes,
Hans
