Outlook Groups-use or not?
I have been reading the entries concerning Contact Groups and several times
have been advised not to use Contact Groups. Why, then, is there a link on my Contacts window that says "Add new group"? I added one and now don't know how to add contacts to it. Should I even bother? Threads here even advise against using DL's and say to use Categories and Custom Views. Please explain. Thanks.

That is to group the folders, not to create a distribution list.

Outlook Groups-use or not?
I want a new goup titled iPhone so I can restrict my iPhone phone book (via
synch) to only my more important contacts thereby reducing clutter in the phone book. iPhone will NOT synch to distribution groups, only to "Groups" per Apple TS "Judy Gleeson (MVP Outlook)" wrote: What would you like explained?
