Create a group in Outlook for Mac

1. Open Outlook for Mac. 

2. Select File > New > Group. ​​​​​​​

3. Fill out the group information 
   
   

4. Group name: Create a name that captures the spirit of the group. 

   After you enter a name, a suggested email address is provided. "Not available" means that the name is already in use. If so, try a different name. Once you have specified a group name, it cannot be changed.

5. Description: Optionally, enter a description that will help others understand the group's purpose. This description will be included in the welcome email when others join the group. Click Next.

6. Type member email addresses or select members from the contact list to add to the group. You can also add guests -- people outside your school or your organization.

7. Privacy: By default, Groups are created as Private. This means that only approved members in your organization can see what is inside the group. Others in your organization who are not approved also cannot see what's in the group.

   • Select Public to create a group wherein anyone within your organization can view its content and become a member. 

   • Select Private to create a group for which membership requires approval and only members can view the content.  

8. Classification: Choose a classification. Options available depend on what your organization has set up.​​​​​​​

9. Click Create. You'll see a welcome mail in your newly created group inbox.
