Creating Local Distribution Groups

A local distribution group works just like a regular singular e-mail address, only it includes many recipients automatically. Local distribution groups allow you to send mail quickly to groups of people without having to enter individual addresses.

Note: Distribution groups are not e-mail lists. If you'd like to create a mailing list, use UT Lists.

Setting Up A Local Distribution Group

  1. Start Outlook.
  2. From the File menu select New, then select Distribution List.
  3. Enter a name for your distribution list and then select the Select Members button.
  4. Search any of your address books and select the Members button for each address.
  5. When you are finished adding addresses, select the OK button, then select the Save and Close button.

Your new distribution group will show up under Contacts.
