How to Create a Mailing List Using Windows Mail
By Fiona Cameron
A group mailing list is useful when you need to send email to a regular group of individuals in your Address/Contacts folder. There is a specific procedure you can follow to create a group mailing list using Windows Mail and Windows Contacts.
Step 4

Click the "Add to Contact Group" button to add existing Windows Mail contacts to your group. When the Window Contact folder opens, select the contacts you wish to add to your group.
Step 5

Click the "Create New Contact" button to add a new contact to your group and the Windows Mail Contact folder simultaneously.

In the "Contact Name" field, type the name of the contact, followed by his address in the "Email" field. Then click the "Create for Group Only" button if you want to add a new contact to your group mailing list without adding the contact to the Windows Mail Contact folder. Click "OK" to finish creating your group.
