Outlook uses contact groups to store the members of a distribution list. After you create a contact group and add contacts, create one email message and address it to the contact group. That way, everyone in the distribution list receives the same message and you save time.
Instructions in this article apply to Outlook 2019, Outlook 2016, Outlook 2013, Outlook 2010, and Outlook for Office 365.
