How to Create a Distribution List (Outlook)

Before Setting Up Your List

First make sure that you have On My Computer folders enabled.

With Outlook open, select Outlook from the top menu, then click on Preferences...

In the top row of the Outlook Preferences window, under Personal Settings, click on General.

Uncheck Hide On My Computer folders.

You may have to quit Outlook and reopen it for this to take effect.

Creating Your Distribution List

Select the People tab in the bottom left corner of the Outlook window.

In the window that opens, click on New Contact List in the upper left corner.

An Untitled List will be created. Enter a name for your list, then double-click in the fields Name and E-mail to add entries to your list.

If you don't want recipients on your email list to see each other's contact information, check the Use Bcc to hide member information box.

Click Save & Close in the top left corner when you are done creating your list.

To send an email to your list, create a new message, then type the name of your distribution list into the To field.
