I have my Outlook set up talking to my Exchange server. All is working
fine. Now I'm about to add distribution lists to my list of contacts but
I've run into a snag. For each contact in my contacts list they may have
more than 1 email address: (e.g. John Doe has a primary email of
but he also uses which I have put in as his
E-Mail 2 field of his contact). If I want to include John Doe in my
distribution list how can I get Outlook to include BOTH of his email
addresses? I can only think of creating 2 seperate contacts, one for each
email address, in order to do this but then I will really pollute my
contacts list.

Is this possible?

Thanks!

When you click Select Members, there should be two entries for John Doe, one
for each address. Choose them both.

In my case I have a list of about 400 contacts. Each of the contacts is
assigned a category which I can see and even set the "View" to. When I hit
Action to send an email to the contacts in the category it only selects the
primary email of each contact. If I go the route of creating a DL and
Select Members it does not show me a Category column so I don't know what
names to pick.
