Introduction
Contact groups and contact lists both accomplish the same task: sending email messages to a group of people rather than individually.

- Select the downward facing arrow next to New Contact
- Select 'New Contact List'
- Give the list an appropriate name and search for members using the 'Add members' bar (it will automatically search the Empire State University address book as you type)
- When you are finished, click 'Save'
Contact Groups
