How to Send Emails to Multiple Emails Automatically in Outlook

Last Updated: January 31, 2023

Sending repeat emails to multiple addresses can be a monotonous process. Adding a few hundred recipients to the "To:" field is a serious waste of time. Outlook allows you to streamline this process with something called a "mailing list" or "distribution list" - this article will teach you how to put one of these lists together.

Put the option CC and BCC on. There you can write the contacts who get the email, and the email is sent to all the contacts you input.
