creating my own email groups

[kindus]

I would like to create my personnel mail groups in my outlook, for example myprojectmember, myfriends etc. containing lists of mailids, I tried to create thru contacts option, but it doesnot allow to enter more than one mail id. The purpose being to avoid typing list of mailids again and again.

Please help with necessary steps.

thanks

What you want to create is a new Distribution List.
Found by going File->New->Distribution List.
In here, give it a name at the top, eg, Friends, then add in your email addresses by clicking Select Members, where you can add names from your address book/contacts, or add new, where you can add in a new email address that you dont have in your contacts.
Then when sending mails, just type in the To: filed, Friends, and hey presto!! Jay~

Have you tried creating a "Personal Address Book" (via Tools | Services)?

Remember that once you create a one and insert membernames from the Global Address List *if* the email address should change (for any reason) on the server, you will have to MANAULLY change (delete/add back) the membername into the PNAB. This is also true for Distribution Lists and Contact Lists. (or so I have found)
