Restore deleted distribution list
I accidently deleted an entire distribution list in Outlook 2007. I wanted
to delete a single contact from the list and clicked on the "X" and my entire list was deleted with out prompting me if I wanted to delete it or a single contact from it. I have checked my deleted items under the mail tab as well as my recyle bin and can not find the list. I had over 150 people on the list. How do I restore the entire list to my contacts? If I can not restore the entire distribution list is there a way to recreate it by importing the contact from a prior email I sent to the list? Thanks in advance for any assistance Bill |

Restore deleted distribution list
What you did places the DL in the Deleted Items Folder. If you also deleted
it from there, you'll need to restore it from your most recent backup. A DL with 150 entries is a distinctly bad idea. A DL of that size will become corrupt very quickly and few mail servers permit that many recipients for a single message. You need to consider more reliable methods for grouping recipients (such as Categories) and better methods for sending to multiple recipients (such as mail merge to electronic mail) -- Russ Valentine "BillMac" wrote in message ...
