I am using W XP and Outlook 2003. I have just moved all my contacts to
Outlook from Yahoo. I am having trouble understanding the difference
between Categories and Distribution Lists. In Yahoo a category
functions as a collection of contacts to send an email to. When I set
ua a category in Outlook I have not figured out how to put the
Category Name into the To field of an email message. Or should I have
set up my categories as Didtribution Lists and then enter the name of
the Distribution List in the To field.
Also when I am creating a new distribution list and I get the Select
Members screen, in the select Show Names From field I can select from
Contacts or Outlook Address Book. If I select Contacts I can see all
the data I have entered but if I select Outlook Address Book It says
there are no entries in the book. What is an Outlook Address Book and
how does it differ from Contacts. What should I be using?
As you can see my level of confusion is great.
Thanks for any and all help.
