We’vepreviously explainedhow you could add contacts to Outlook in Windows 10, but what if you want to manage them? You might have a group of people and contacts you’d like to put together under one folder, or you might want to create a list so you can send emails out in bulk. In this latest Office 365 guide, we’ll explain how you can do just that, and some more.

Create a contact list to make contacts easier to find

One of the easiest ways to manage contacts in Outlook is to create a contact list. With a contact list, you can logically organize your contacts, and find them more easily. Here’s how you can do this.

If you want to add an existing contact to the list, the process is really easy. Simply select it from the contact list and drag it over to the My Contacts bar on the left side of the screen. You can also create a new contact in the contact list, click theHome taband select the contact folder in the navigation bar.

Create folder groups to send emails out in bulk

A second cool way to manage contacts in Outlook is to create what’s called a contact group. With this feature, you can create a set of contacts that you can use to send out emails in bulk. This is what was once known as distribution lists in older versions of Office. Here’s how you can set it up.

Once you do this, you can send out an email in bulk to someone by clickingMailin the navigation bar. Then clickHome and New Mail. Then you can select the contact list in theAddress Book drop-down box.

How do you use Outlook?

Managing contacts in Outlook is just one of the many things you can do with it. We’ve previously explained how you couldsolve problems with attachments,attach files, andset up and manage your email account. Be sure to keep it tuned to ourOffice 365 Hub, where we’ll be diving deeper into each of the Office 365 apps.
