RE: How many Contacts will each Distribution list hold?

We entered many more than that, went to save and then realized it could only
hold the 150. How do we transfer the overage to a new distribution list
without deleting and retyping all of them again.

Does File, Save as include the unsaved items? Can also file, print to an
electronic format and use OCR to make them editable so you can copy and
paste.

Outlook has no limit on the number of names/addresses in the DL = this is
normally a limit imposed by your ISP. You would be much better off using
categories to send large numbers of mails to people. Or even mail merge.
Distribution lists are problematic at best and useless at worst.

If you are in a corporate environment, the Exchange admin may have set an
upper limit on the number of names in a DL. If you are, talk to the mail
admin.

is this a pop account? I believe there is a limit - based on character
count. I'm not sure of the size as I don’t send to large DLs.

Diane,
It is a Comcast.net email account I can't remember which is which. I have an
MSN account also, but I've tried both, however this latest error message was
on the Comcast.net account.
So you're saying there is a email limit to OUTLOOK? If so, how do you
increase it?
Thanks for your help.

Can you post the exact text of the message?

The character limit is quite large, I'm sure, but however large it may be,
it can't be changed, to the best of my knowledge.

Bill,
here is the text

Hi All,
Please look at the link for more Reunion information:
http://www.nmcb14alumni.com

Toward that end, a listing of BN personnel is being developed. I am emailing
you because I have my own personal list that I have accumulated over the
years and have tried to keep somewhat current. If you DO NOT want your email
information distributed then please let me know. If you DO NOT want to be on
my email list, also let me know. And MOST IMPORTANTLY if there are names and
data you have on current or former BN members please email their information
Ken Erickson @ kenxxx@etcmail.com with a copy to me @
CaptRexxxxxx@comcast.net or call me @ 901-xxx-xxxx.

Also, if you can volunteer any time to help compile the BN
members please let us know. You help is needed so the Alumni Association can
continue to help your fellow FOURTEEN Seabees and shipmates.

Brian,
Sorry for the name mix up.
"an unexpected error has occurred" this is the text within a box that says
Microsoft Office Outlook
Thanks again for the help.
