Distribution list

what is the different between distribution list and categories. how to use more in the calendar.

RE: distribution list

Hello Noora

Thank you for your question.

Categories are used to group contacts that have something in common, e.g. you might use departments that people work in as categories.

A distribution list is a list of contacts that you want to email messages to on a regular basis, for example you might have a committee which is made up of people that work for different departments which you send emails to.

Therefore in this case the contact's category doesn't have a bearing on whether they are included in your distribution list or not, it's whether or not they belong to the committee.

I hope this helps.

Kind regards
Amanda

Outlook tip:

Change what you see when Outlook opens

Instead of viewing your emails when you first open Outlook, you can change the settings so that your startup view is different.

Here's how:

1. Go to Tools - Options - Other.

2. Change the startup folder under General Settings (e.g. to Calendar).

3. Click OK.
