Use a Contact Group (formerly called a “distribution list”) to send an email to multiple people without having to add each name to the To, Cc, or Bcc line individually. The Contact Group feature lets you send an email to a group of email addresses quickly under one name, e.g., “Project Team”. When you send an email to the Contact Group, it goes to all of the recipients you've specified for that group.
