How to add multiple emails’ senders to distribution list (contact group) in Outlook?

Author: Kelly Last Modified: 2017-04-11

You may know how to add one email’s sender as a contact in Outlook, but how about adding one email’s sender as a member of distribution list (contact group) directly? And what if adding multiple emails’ senders to one or multiple distribution lists (contact groups) in Outlook? Below solutions will help you work easily!

Easily add contact group members from emails' senders or recipients in Outlook

Normally, we can copy a sender or a recipient from an email, and then add it as a contact group member with Add Members > From Address Book, and it seems no way to add multiple emails' multiple senders or recipients into a contact group in bulk. But, with the excellent Add to Groups feature of Kutools for Outlook, you can easily add multiple emails' senders or recipients into contacts groups in Outlook with several clicks only.
