In this article we will review how to create an e-mail distribution group in Microsoft Outlook.
Environment
Microsoft Outlook on the Web in a desktop browser.
Steps
Hint: (Note that this would only work for Manhattan University emails.)
- Navigate to Microsoft Outlook as you normally would.
- Click the drop down button to the right of New mail at the top left and click Group.
- At the new group window, type the name of your group. This name will auto generate an email, but you can adjust the email as you see fit.
- Select the privacy level.
- Private - Only approved members can see what's inside
- Public - Anyone in your organization can see what's inside
- Determine subscription. You will likely want to check mark that Members will receive all group conversations and events in their inboxes. They can stop following this group later if they want to.
- Click Create
- Now you will be directed to a screen allowing you to add members to your group.
- Enter name or email and select. You will see them added below.
- Select level of access. In most cases you would select Member.
- Click add at the bottom when done.
- Congratulations. Your new group has been created.
- To go to groups, from your inbox, scroll to the bottom of your folder list and click Go to Groups.
- You will now see your group and can click into your desired group.
- Clicking on your group in the area to the right will show an overview of the group.
- Clicking on your group from the left side menu will bring you to the group inbox.
- Clicking the Members tab will allow you to manage group membership.
- Click the + people icon at the top right to add people. It will bring you to the add new people window. Follow same instructions provided above.
