Send email to a group in Outlook.com or Outlook on the web

A contact group (formerly called a "distribution list") is a collection of email addresses. You can use a contact group to send an email message or meeting invitation to all the addresses at once. You can include contact groups in messages, task requests, meeting requests, and in other contact groups.

An Outlook group conversation is similar to an email thread. When you select a message in the message list, you'll see the original message plus all the replies from oldest to newest. Members who follow the group will also receive messages sent to the group in their personal inbox.

Note: By default, only group members can send email to an Outlook group. To allow non-members to send email to an Outlook group, you'll need to add the non-members as trusted senders. Learn more.
