Ideally, Microsoft would make a Contact Group with TO, CC and BCC combined but that’s not likely any time soon (Microsoft, please prove us wrong). Often broadcast emails go to three groups:ĬC: secondary recipients, also visible to all.īCC: people who get the email but recipients don’t know that, the ‘Blind Carbon Copy’.Ĭontact Groups have no way to handle that, it’s a single group only. That’s how it works in Microsoft demos and training but the Real World is more complicated.
The problem with Contact Groups is they are limited to a single mail field only, usually the TO field. Instead of entering all the names in the TO box, just type in the Group name instead. In this example we have a list of favorite bookmakers, known in some circles as turf accountants or bookies.Ĭontact Groups make sending out an email easy. For example groups like: ‘Regional Managers’, ‘Branch Staff’, ‘Neighbours’, ‘Club members’ etc. They are often used in business but are also useful for individuals or families. Outlook Contact Groups are a way to combine a list of contacts under a single name. Here’s how to make Outlook Contact Groups work with both CC and BCC’s as well. Thanks for joining us!
