Hello,

Outlook.com lets you edit, add, delete and rename groups. This functionality is called "Manage Groups" and can be accessed from the "Manage" drop down menu in the header when on the People page.

Outlook.com also lets you add and remove people from a group.

  1. Visit the People page
  2. Select the contacts that you want to add to a group by clicking on the checkbox next to their name in the contact list
  3. The header shows an item called "Groups"
  4. Select the group you want to add this person to and click apply.

From this menu, you can also create a new group and manage groups.

    Hello Everyone,

    We're sorry for the inconvenience that this issue has caused you. We recommend that you keep your web browser up to date to get the most out of Outlook. If you’re not using an updated browser, some parts of Outlook might not work and it might not display properly.

    If you’ve signed in to Outlook with a particularly old browser (like Internet Explorer 6), you’ll be automatically redirected to the Outlook basic experience.

    Upgrading should only take a few minutes. To get started, choose one of the browsers below:

    ·         Internet Explorer

    ·         Google Chrome

    ·         Firefox

    ·         Safari

    To manage your group contacts, follow these steps:

    1. Sign in to https://people.live.com
    2. On the People page, click All and then choose the Group name.
    3. Click on the group name and you will see your list.
    4. Click the contact to view his or her details or to edit it.

    If you have any clarifications, please let us know so that we could assist you better.

    Thank you!

    Hubby solved my problem. I needed to click on the All button on the main People page not on the Manage Groups page.
