Microsoft 365 (Outlook for Mac) - Create a Contact List

A contact list is a grouping of email addresses collected under one name. A message sent to a contact list goes to all recipients listed in the list. You can include contact lists in messages, meeting requests, and in other contact lists. Note: If you have a Microsoft Exchange account, contact lists are not saved to the Exchange server. Any lists that you create are saved on your computer and are available only in Outlook for Mac.

  1. Select Preferences.
  2. Under Personal Settings, click General.
