How to Create an Email Exchange Group

With an Exchange account, you can set up email groups.

With an account on a Microsoft Exchange server, you can easily send messages to other individuals on your organization's or company's network. If you want to send out a mass email message to a specific group of Exchange users, you can use the distribution list feature of Microsoft Outlook. When you create a new distribution group, you select multiple Exchange users to add to a group for emailing purposes.

Things You'll Need

• PC running Windows XP or later
• Microsoft Outlook 2003 or later

Instructions

1. Launch the Microsoft Outlook application and log in to your Exchange account.

2. Open the "File" menu at the top of the window, expand the "New" submenu and select "Distribution List."

3. Press the "Select Members" button in the pop-up window.

4. Open the "Show Names" drop-down menu and choose the "Global Address List" option. The window will now be populated with a list of users on your Exchange server.

5. Highlight all of the Exchange users that you want to add to your email group.

6. Click on the "Members" button and then hit "OK" to add the selected users to the email group.

7. Press the "Save and Close" button at the top of the window to finish creating your new distribution list. Now you can use this email group to send out a mass email message.
