Importing from Outlook

To create a Mailing List using Outlook (XP/2002, 2003, 2007) as the source, click the New List button New List Button at the top of the Mailing List Manager. Give your new Mailing List a name (required) and description (optional), and click Next to continue.

You will then be brought to the list of sources for your Mailing List:

Select a Mailing List Source

Select Outlook (XP/2002, 2003, 2007) from the list, and click Next to continue. This will generate a list of all of your Outlook Contacts. You will be able to view both a list of all individual contacts, or a list of all of your distribution lists.

 

To view a list of all individual contacts, select Show All Contacts at the top-right of the menu (selected by default).

To view a list of all distribution lists, select Show All Distribution Lists at the top-right of the menu.

List of Outlook Contacts

All contacts with a check box selected will be imported, and all contacts with a check box cleared will not be imported. To select all contacts in the list, select the Select All check box at the bottom left of the menu. To deselect all contacts, clear the Select All check box.

After you have selected all of the contacts you wish to import, click Next to continue.

 

You will then be asked if you would like to synchronize with the Outlook Contact List:

Synchronize with Parent List?

Click Yes to synchronize your new Mailing List with the source Outlook Contact List. When you do this, any changes made to the Outlook Contact List will automatically be made to this Child List as well.

Click No to save your new Mailing List without synchronizing with the source Outlook Contact List.

 

Your import is complete. You will now be returned to the Mailing List Manager, with your new Mailing List available for use.
