After you add contacts to your Web-Based Email Contacts list, you may want to group the contacts into lists, such as a list of employees or a list of customers. By grouping contacts, you create a Distribution List that makes it easy to send an email message to all contacts in a specific list at one time, without having to add the contacts individually.
The following sections show you how to create contact distribution lists in different versions of Web-Based Email.
