How to Make an Email Group in Outlook

Creating an email group (also known as a contact group) in Microsoft Outlook helps sending emails to a specific set of people easier and quicker. We’ll show you how to make an email group, use the group, edit the group, and delete the group, in Outlook’s web, desktop, and mobile versions.

In case you don’t know, an email or contact group in Outlook is a set of multiple email addresses. You create a group, add people to that group, and then use that group’s name to send emails.

However, you can use the contact groups created in Outlook’s web or desktop version in the mobile app.

How to Send an Email to a Contact Group in Outlook

After creating an email group, you can send an email to all members of the group. Doing so is as easy as sending an email to an individual person. You type in the group name instead of someone’s email address in the To field, and Outlook sends your email to everyone included in that group.

Outlook will deliver the email to everyone in the selected email group.

From now on, you can use the group’s name instead of individual email addresses in the To field to email several people at once
