Easily Create an Email Group

7/3/2016

Many Thanks to Claire Taggart for this tip!

We have all been there! We have sat down to write an email to the teachers of a year group or department and slowly went through adding name by name tediously before we even get to write the email!

This post is aimed at stopping that and saving you time and wasted energy by allowing you to create your own email groups

Setting Email Groups up using Outlook on your PC

Step 1:

Open your Email on Outlook
On the left hand side column you will see Mail, Calendar, Contacts, Tasks
Click Contacts
On the top tool bar you should see 'New Contact Group' Click this

Step 2:

Name your Group

Step 3:

Add your contact members to your group. Do this by simply clicking Add Contact
You should be able to choose from three different sources
Double click on the names you want to include
When your Group is complete click Save and Close on top left

Voila!
Now when you go to email you should have the option to put in your email group instead of having to include all the emails individually
