How do I obtain a list of my distribution lists?

[Guest]

Within Contacts, distribution lists are identified by a 'double head' icon.
But I have many contacts and only a few distribution lists.
Can I set up a view so that I can review and maintain my distribution lists?

You can setup a view that filters items to show only those that are of
message class "IPM.DistList". You can create a new view here while in the
Contacts folder: View menu > Arrange By > Current View > Define Views
- Choose a view to start with
- Click Copy
- Give the view a name
- Click Filter
- Choose Advanced tab
- Click Fields
- Choose All Distribution List fields
- Choose Message Class
- Set Condition to "is (exactly)"
- Set Value to IPM.DistList
- Click "Add to List"
- Click OK
- Click OK
- Click "Apply View"

See if that helps

Thankyou; yes, this does exactly what I asked for.

In my Distribution Lists, the "Name" on the left column is the e-mail
address, and the "E-mail" on the right column is also the e-mail address.
How can I make the "Name" column show the "File As" name from contacts?

How did you create the DL? If you add contacts to the DL you should see the
contact's display name.
