Then, click the Send button to send the message.

Important Reminder: The maximum number of messages that you can send is 250 per day. Having said that, if you happen to have more than 250 contacts on your Address Book, the system might locked you out when you send an email to every single one of them. This is to prevent its members from receiving unsolicited bulk e-mail messages (junk e-mail or spam).

For sending email to all contacts, Outlook provides you with no quick feature to select all contacts at once while composing email. Of course you can select all contacts by selecting the first contact and the last one in the contact folder with holding the Shift key on the keyboard simultaneously. But that may be time-consuming if there are hundreds of contacts existing in this Contacts folder. The best way for sending email message to all contacts in Outlook at once is to create a distribution list with all contacts inside, and then send email to this distribution list. Please browse this article for more detail information.

How do I send an email to everyone in my Outlook contacts?

You can go to https://outlook.live.com/people/ and select All of your contacts by selecting the circle to the left of Contacts and then click Send email.

How do I send an email to all my contacts without showing addresses?

To send emails to small groups where everybody knows each other, use the Cc field. Enter all of the addresses there, separated by commas. To hide addresses, use the Bcc field, just like the Cc field. No one will be able to see the addresses added in this field.
