Deleting distribution lists

[saragen]

If I delete a Distribution list, does it also delete the contact from the
Contacts list?

No.

But remember that the person in a DL may not be in a Contacts Folder at all.

Thankyou for your help. I had input all my contacts first before making
distribution lists and because of all the bad 'jibe' about 'DL's I now want
to delete them and only use the Categories for group emails.
When sending a group email to a Category - how do you weed out the contacts
without email addresses?

You will not need to - Outlook will ignore them anyway. You will get a
message saying some don't have an email address. So what.

If you want to see who doesn't have one, show the "email" field in the
Contacts Folder in any table styled View (eg By category). Turn on Advanced
Toolbar, click Field Chooser, drag the email field onto the view (drop it
beside the other fields ate the top of the table). You can sort by email -
just click that column header.
