Q: I try to send an email to a Distribution List I created in Outlook, but I seem to have a problem. Frequently, Outlook crashed or produces some type of error. Is there something I am doing wrong?

 

A: Distribution Lists in Outlook are very handy for keeping several individuals informed of events or notices without much effort. The problem you are describing usually happens when we try to send an email to a Distribution List with over 100 contacts. If this is the case, then try to divide your Distribution List into half (A-L and M-Z perhaps). I know it may be a little cumbersome, but you will likely have more success when sending your emails.

 

If you are interested in sending emails as part of an email marketing campaign may I suggest SwiftPage from one of our technology partners. This software will send a personalized email (Dear John, Dear Mike, Dear Judy, etc) to each individual you desire in your Contacts folder. There is a free copy available at:
