The CC group has a space between the colon and ‘CC’. One for the main or TO recipients plus others for CC and BCC. The fix is fairly simple, make three Groups with similar names. Ideally, Microsoft would make a Contact Group with TO, CC and BCC combined but that’s not likely any time soon (Microsoft, please prove us wrong). Often broadcast emails go to three groups:ĬC: secondary recipients, also visible to all.īCC: people who get the email but recipients don’t know that, the ‘Blind Carbon Copy’.Ĭontact Groups have no way to handle that, it’s a single group only. That’s how it works in Microsoft demos and training but the Real World is more complicated. The problem with Contact Groups is they are limited to a single mail field only, usually the TO field. Instead of entering all the names in the TO box, just type in the Group name instead. In this example we have a list of favorite bookmakers, known in some circles as turf accountants or bookies.Ĭontact Groups make sending out an email easy. For example groups like: ‘Regional Managers’, ‘Branch Staff’, ‘Neighbours’, ‘Club members’ etc. They are often used in business but are also useful for individuals or families. Outlook Contact Groups are a way to combine a list of contacts under a single name.
Here’s how to make Outlook Contact Groups work with both CC and BCC’s as well. Thanks for joining us! You'll get a welcome message in a few moments.
