Creating a Mailing Group in Microsoft 365

Issue/Question

How do I create mailing groups in Outlook that will serve as a distribution list?

Environment

• OWA

Resolution

1. Sign into OWA.
2. Navigate to the Groups folder in the menu panel.
3. Expand Groups and select New group.
4. Create a Name and Description for the mailing group.
   Note: The title of the group will be listed under the name box. For example, it will look something like Grp_*** which will be shown in the Groups folder once created.
5. For the Email address box, you may use the title as the email address.
   Note: For example, the email address will look something like grp_***@topper.wku.edu and it should populate the email address for you.
6. Select Create and add members to the group.
