How to add a large group of emails to a new Outlook group?

[Roadstir_VA]

I am getting a reunion together and received a group email with 60 addresses.  How would I add these 60 addresses to a newly created contact group all at once?

Thanks

To add a large group of emails to a new Outlook group or contact group all at once, you can follow these steps:

1. Open Outlook and go to the "People" section.
2. In the toolbar at the top, click on the "Home" tab.
3. Click on the "New Contact Group" button. This will open a new window for creating a contact group.
4. In the contact group window, enter a name for the group in the "Name" field.
5. Click on the "Add Members" button in the toolbar at the top.
6. From the dropdown menu, select "From Address Book". This will open the "Select Members" window.
7. In the "Select Members" window, click on the address book or contacts folder that contains the emails you want to add to the group.
8. Hold down the "Ctrl" key on your keyboard and click on each email address you want to add to the group. This allows you to select multiple email addresses at once.
9. After selecting all the desired email addresses, click on the "Members ->" button to add them to the contact group.
10. Once you have added all the email addresses, click on the "OK" button to close the "Select Members" window.
11. Back in the contact group window, you will see the list of email addresses you added. You can review and modify the names or email addresses if needed.
12. Click on the "Save & Close" button to save the contact group.

Now, you have successfully added a large group of emails to a new Outlook group or contact group. You can use this group to send emails or manage the contacts collectively for your reunion.

The steps provided to add a large group of emails to a new Outlook group or contact group can be followed in various versions of Microsoft Outlook, including Outlook 2019, Outlook 2016, Outlook 2013, and Outlook for Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365).

The specific steps may have slight variations in different versions of Outlook, but the general process remains the same

Thanks so much for the help.  Here's my situation- I received an email from a school I attended and that email was addressed to everyone from that class that they have email addresses for.  How do I take everyone on the distribution list in the email and add them to the new group.  I have not imported them or done anything to this addresses.  They are just sitting in the To section of that large email.  I looked for a way to cut & paste these addresses but have had no luck.  Thanks

If you have received an email with multiple recipients in the "To" section and you want to add them to a new Outlook group or contact group, you can follow these steps:

1. Open the email that contains the list of recipients in the "To" section.
2. Select and highlight all the email addresses in the "To" field. You can do this by clicking and dragging your cursor over the email addresses to select them.
3. Right-click on the selected email addresses and choose "Copy" from the context menu. Alternatively, you can press Ctrl+C on your keyboard to copy the addresses.
4. Open Outlook and go to the "People" section.
5. In the toolbar at the top, click on the "Home" tab.
6. Click on the "New Contact Group" button to create a new contact group.
7. In the contact group window, enter a name for the group in the "Name" field.
8. Click on the "Add Members" button in the toolbar at the top.
9. From the dropdown menu, select "From Address Book".
10. In the "Select Members" window, click inside the "Members" field.
11. Right-click in the "Members" field and choose "Paste" from the context menu. Alternatively, you can press Ctrl+V on your keyboard to paste the copied email addresses.
12. The email addresses you copied from the original email should now appear in the "Members" field of the "Select Members" window.
13. Click on the "OK" button to add the email addresses to the contact group.
14. Once you have added all the email addresses, click on the "Save & Close" button to save the contact group.

Now, you have successfully taken the email addresses from the "To" section of the original email and added them to a new Outlook group or contact group. You can use this group for further communication or management within Outlook.
