Hi, @Jerome, Rhonda

I noticed you posted under Outlook New. Have you already checked the “People” section in New Outlook to see whether you can create a contact list?

If you haven't already, follow these steps to create a group email list:

Open New Outlook and select “People” from the side panel.
Select the arrow next to “New contact” and choose “New contact list”.
Enter a name for your group, such as “Family” or “Friends”.
Add the recipients’ names or email addresses.
Select “Create”.

To email the group later, compose a new message and enter the contact list’s name in the “To” field.

For more details, see Microsoft's guide: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/people/create-edit-or-delete-a-contact-list-or-contact-group-in-outlook

Thanks!

Answer 1

For new Outlook for Windows, create a contact list. This is the Outlook feature used to email a group of people from the address book.

In new Outlook, select People on the side panel.
Select the dropdown arrow next to New contact.
Select New contact list.
Enter a Contact list name.
Add the recipients by entering their names or email addresses.
Select Create.

To use it later when sending mail:

Select New mail.
Select To, Cc, or Bcc to open the address book.
Search for the contact list name.
Add it to the message.

If the goal is only to send email to the same people regularly, a contact list is the right choice. A Group in Outlook is for broader collaboration features, not just grouped email sending.
