How to Create a Mailing List in Outlook 2010

February 7, 2012

Outlook 2010 is an extremely useful tool that helps you organize and manage your email messages, tasks, appointments, and calendar with minimum fuss. Outlook is also great for sending out newsletters to a group of people, as it allows you to create a mailing list. While in earlier versions of Outlook, the feature was referred to as Distribution lists, in Outlook 2010, it is referred as the Contact Group. So the next time you want to create a mailing list in Outlook 2010, simply create a contact group and address your newsletter to that group.
