A Personal Distribution List is a collection of contacts. It provides an easy way to send messages to a group of people. For example, if you frequently send messages to every member of a department, you can create a distribution list with the name of the department that contains the names of all its members. A message sent to this distribution list goes to all recipients listed in it. Recipients see their own names and the names of all other recipients on the To line of the message instead of seeing the name of the distribution list.

In the File menu, point to New, and then click Distribution List.

Type in a Name. The distribution list is saved in your Contacts folder by the name you give it.

To add members to your list, click Select Members to add names already in your contact list or the campus address list, or choose Add New to add names of off-campus addresses not in your contact list.

When finished click Save and Close.
