Easily split a contact group (distribution list) in Outlook
Kutools for Outlook
Imagine having a contact group containing hundreds of email addresses, and you find yourself needing to divide some of these addresses into a new contact group. Directly accomplishing this within Outlook may appear unfeasible, requiring a workaround of exporting the contact group to a text file, dividing up the text file, and subsequently forming new contact groups with chosen members - a process that's overly cumbersome!
Fortunately, Kutools for Outlook introduces the Split to Multiple Contact Groups feature, designed to effortlessly segment a contact group or distribution list in Outlook, simplifying the task considerably.
