    In Outlook.com, create a contact list from the People page:

    1. Go to People.
    2. On the toolbar, select the arrow next to New contact.
    3. Select New contact list.
    4. Enter a name for the list.
    5. Add names or email addresses.
    6. Select Create.

    To add more people later:

    1. In People, select All contact lists or search for the list name.
    2. Select the contact list, then select Edit.
    3. Enter additional names or email addresses.
    4. Select Save.

    A contact list in Outlook.com is also commonly referred to as a distribution list.
