Default How to import e-mail addresses from Excel to a distribution list.

I have a list of e-mails in Excel and want to make a distribution list in
Outlook of that Excel list. I transferred to Contacts and get a single entry
with the Excel icon. But the list does not spread out nor does it create
separate contacts. My list has Full Name, Company, State and E- mail address.

Pasting into Member did n ot work. It picked up only one of 308. What did
work was pasting directly into the bcc box. All 308 pasted and are receiving
the message. A tip I did not follow: Disable the read receipt function
before sending.

Whether it works or not depends on the format of the addresses, which you
did not specify.
