INTRODUCTION

Your mailing list may change from time to time. For example, if you've built a mailing list that contains all the people who are working with you on a particular project, and one of the team members leaves the company, you'll want to update the list to reflect the change. Alternatively, you may need to add more people to the list as your team grows. You can easily view and make changes to the contacts included in a mailing list.

TIP

No Names Listed?

If no names are listed in the Select Members dialog box, or if the names you need do not appear, it may be because the wrong contact list is being displayed. Click the down-arrow next to the Show Names From The field and choose the correct contact list from the drop-down list that appears.

TIP

The Add New Button

Although it seems like you should, you don't use the Add New button in the Distribution List window to add names to a mailing list. Instead, you click this button to create an entirely new contact record. Click Add New to open an Untitled Contact window, and then add the contact information as usual.
