Email Distribution Lists in Entourage

P

prvtnet

I just switched to Entourage from Mac Mail and I am having trouble
figuring out how to set up a distribution list for email. I am sure it
must be possible. In Mac Mail you can just type in the name of a
directory in your address book into the Bcc box and everyone in that
directory gets the email. That does not work in Entourage.

How do you bring in a distribution list (category??) en masse to the
Bcc box from inside the Entourage Mail app? Any help much appreciated.

Entourage's address book uses "group" for a distribution list. Create a
group, add contacts to it. You can drag them in, add with the + button, and
so on. Then to send mail, just type the name of the group into the
appropriate field: To, CC, or BCC. using BCC isn't really necessary though
because, by default, Entourage will hide the individual addresses of a group
and show only the group name. (You can opt to turn this on or off when
editing the group.)
