Mobility Site - View Single Post - Distribution list will not activesync to contact list

CHickman · 08-24-05, 08:14 AM

After running into this problem and searching the archives, I just created a contact entry for each individual in the distribution list and assigned each to a category. For instance, I have 6 people in a project group for Georgia State University. I created a contact entry for each person and assigned them the category "GSU". When you want to send a message to the group, you can view the contact list by clicking on the To: text and filtering the contact list by category. This works for short distribution lists. It becomes very painful for longer distribution lists as I haven't found an "add all" feature.

Hopefully MS will improve this functionality with WM5. I hope this helps!
