Create a Distribution List

Within the Entourage Address Book, you can select multiple individuals and entities and combine them into groups. Generally, persons are grouped because they share a common function or interest, such as a work unit, functional area, or committee. After a group is created, the group name can be used to send e-mails to all persons within the group. This reduces data entry and assures that no members of the group are inadvertently omitted. To efficiently send e-mail messages to a group of people, such as business associates or relatives, you can create a group in your address book. You can also include a group as a member of another group.
