New Way to Manage Email Distribution Groups

Owners of shared mailboxes in Outlook that use a distribution group can manage memberships using a new portal. A few things to keep in mind:

  • Distribution group membership for shared mailboxes in Outlook is now managed from a portal.
  • If you are unsure what distribution list(s) you own, visit the portal to see the name(s) of lists you own.
  • Our KnowledgeBase article offers instructions on managing distribution lists when using the portal. For additional information, please review this article from Microsoft.
  • Distribution groups are primarily used to manage shared mailbox owner/member permissions. This change only impacts those who manage distribution groups through Outlook on the web.

If you need assistance with your technology, please contact the UWM Help Desk.
