What does this do?: Setting up a group allows you to create your own email distribution group that you control and can be internally emailed, as well as allowing outside vendors to email. It also allows for collaboration between group members, but primarily Sharepoint / MS Teams should be used for such cases.
Open Outlook
Scroll down below your inbox, you will see Groups
From here you can see Groups that you are apart of and if you right click on Groups you can: Create a New Group and Browse existing Groups
To create a new Group, click New Group
You will put the name you wish to use in the Name box, it will auto populate the email address box with that name, to keep it simple
If the name/email is available, you will see a check
If the name/email is not available, you will see a red X and need to go back to the drawing board and come up with a new name
You can include a Description to help others understand what the purpose of the Group is
You can change the Privacy here, to make it so anyone can join, or only approved members
You will then be prompted to add members, just type in their name and hit add
From here you can share files, send messages, edit group members
