How to Create A Group Mail ID

Creating group mail ID addresses in the Microsoft Exchange server is a convenient way for internal and external employees and customers to send e-mail to an address that is then sent on to multiple people. For instance, if you have a support team, a customer can send a message to a specific address, and the entire team then picks it up. Conversely, group e-mail ID addresses can be used internally to send messages to a certain organization within the company.

Instructions

1. Click the Windows "Start" button and select "All Programs." Choose "Administrative Tools" and select "Microsoft Exchange."

2. Click the "Recipient Configuration" icon. This expands a tree with a list of options.

3. Click the "Distribution Group" under the "Recipient Configuration" folder. On the right of the window, click the "New Distribution Group" button. This opens a window that starts the new group wizard.

4. Select "New Group" in the list of options and click the "Next" button.

5. Select "Distribution" from the radio boxes. In the textboxes, enter the name of the group and the alias to which users will send the e-mail. Click "Next."

6. Click "Finish" at the summary window. Exchange creates the new group e-mail address along with its respective group ID.
