A newsletter is a powerful marketing tool that can benefit by having as many email addresses in it as possible – so here is how to easily export your autocomplete list of every email address you’ve communicated within Outlook and then import it into MailChimp
Please Note: An Autocomplete List is different than a Contact List – Outlook builds a local cache of all the emails you have sent correspondence to – while a contact list is email addresses you have manually added as “contacts”
