Microsoft, in its infinite wisdom, appears to have removed the plus sign next to Microsoft Office 365 Group email addresses. I have a group called All that has all employees assigned to it. Before this week you could type in [email protected] in a new email message TO: field, and a plus sign would appear next to it. If clicked it would explode the distribution member email addresses into the TO: field which enabled group owners to remove certain addresses from receiving the email. This is now gone.

When I investigated this there is a new Group Settings under a Group tab in Outlook 2016 that appears when I click on an email in the inbox that was sent to a Group email address. I received a popup saying something to the effect of Check out our new Group Settings!

The DisableDLExpansion registry value is supported in Outlook 2007 and up. To use it in Outlook 2016, add the DisableDLExpansion DWORD to the registry at HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\office\16.0\Outlook\Options\Mail\ and set the value to 1. For the other supported versions, change the version number in the registry path. As with moderated groups, users will be able to open the distribution group and view the members but will not be able to expand the list to bypass list controls.

But although the distribution lists appear in the contacts folder they do not contain any members. What I have read so far indicates that Distribution Lists cannot be imported into a new Outlook installation.

I tried this before and it worked for me. First I would export the DL to a csv file (the DOS version), then using the new Outlook to import the csv file (DOS version). Make sure to only export the DL and nothing else.

Do not drag it (or try to drag) from the mail list because then you import only the sender of that mail a,d not any lists in annex. I just discovered this. Very helpfull tips on this forum for the rest.

I had the same problem of importing the sender - not the list. The following worked for me: I located the msg file on my computer (not in outlook). Then I double-clicked it and it opened. The icon for the attachment looked different and when i dragged it to my contacts icon it worked fine. Hope it works for you.

When i try to use UIPath to obtain the CC recipient(get outlook mail message->ListMessages(0).CC.ToString), UiPath returns a null value.

Is there any way I can obtain the distribution list email as the CC recipient?

This does not work because the email is a distribution list. It returns null as the CC recipient. I would love to send you a sample email for testing but unfortunately the email is work related, so sorry about that.

Step 2- If you directly run the shell script or invoke the shell script - You may encounter error stating- "cannot be loaded because running scripts is disabled on this system. For more

I am trying to export a .csv file of names/email addresses from a specific Exchange (online) Distribution List. I see that I can export all Contacts in the Exchange Admin Center, but I can't find a way to just get a list of who is on a specific DL. Is this possible in Exchange Admin Center?

Do you want to export the members of a specific DL to a CSV file which includes the members' displaynames and the DL's names/email addresses? If so, based on my knowledge, realizing this action via EAC seems not be available.

When you are using Outlook, you can easily export all contacts to Excel with Outlook Export function. But there is no feature for you to extract or export a distribution list to Excel in Outlook. In this tutorial, we will show you how to export distribution list as csv file and then import it to Excel from Outlook.

This method will introduce the Break Up (Contact Group) feature of Kutools for Outlook to split a contact group to multiple contacts, and then copy these contacts to Excel. Please do as follows:

3. Now in the Contact Group dialog box, select contacts you will break out, and click the Ok button; and then click the Yes button in the popping confirmation dialog box. See screenshot:

Now the contact group has been broken, and each member of this contact group has been saved as separate contact in the new contact folder.

6. Create a new workbook in Excel, paste the list of contacts into the workbook, and save. (Note: If you need to export the contact group and save as CSV file, please save the workbook as CSV file.)

I do not think it is possible in eMC, if I am wrong someone will correct what I say.

We used 3rd party software to collect, collate, update & maintain addresses - also we use a dedicated program to mail out, (we mail 170,000 twice each month) that has the possibility to personally address & edit content individually or by group). We had before attempted with several different email clients and none were successful even with quantities less than you have.

Securely scan emails and calendars to extract email addresses, contact details, interaction metrics, and relationship networks from emails, calendars, and email signatures. Connect to Microsoft 365, Outlook, Exchange, or Gmail to extract contact...

Dynamic distribution groups (DDGs) are mail-enabled Active Directory group objects that are created to expedite the mass sending of email messages and other information within your Microsoft Exchange organization.

The DDGs in Exchange Online behave differently when compared to DDGs in the on-premises version of Exchange Server. Unlike regular distribution groups that contain a defined set of members, the membership list for DDGs is based on filters and conditions that you define. This membership list is initially calculated and stored for each DDG upon creation or when its membership rules are modified, and then refreshed once every 24 hours. When an email message is sent to a DDG, it's delivered to all the recipients present in the membership list at that time.

A DDG includes any recipient in Active Directory with attribute values that match its filter. If a recipient's properties are modified to match the filter, the recipient could inadvertently become a group member and start receiving messages that are sent to the group. Well-defined, consistent account-provisioning processes reduce the chances of this issue occurring.

DDGs aren't synced from Exchange Online to Microsoft Entra ID or to your on-premises Active Directory. Therefore, features such as Azure Conditional Access don't support being scoped to an Exchange Online DDG.

You can combine multiple rules to define membership with pre-canned filters, but only the logical operator AND is supported. You can create DDGs with pre-canned filters using either the Exchange Admin Center (EAC) or the Exchange Online PowerShell.

If you want to specify rules for attributes other than the ones mentioned in the preceding table (in Pre-canned filters in Dynamic Distribution Groups), or you want to combine multiple rules using logical operators other than AND, you must use a custom recipient filter. You can create DDGs with custom recipient filters by using only Exchange Online PowerShell, and by using the RecipientFilter parameter.
