Provide an option of creating 'Groups' and then make it easy to 'drag & drop' from address book in Microsoft Outlook 2016
Also, I am creating a Contact group but assigning who it goes TO and who is CC’d. I have a lot of different groups that I email regularly, but I need to be able to separate out the teams that it needs to be addressed TO and who only needs to be copied on the email. Right now I have it set up as Routing TO, and another one for Routing CC.

This would be a major improvement and is much more intuitive for the end-user. Once the group is created the user should be able to simply grab the group, drag and drop it into any recipient group To Cc or Bcc; This is the most common way to bring groups of files over and the same should be true to add recipients to an email.

yes we would need that. Currently i need about 10-15 different distribution groups but current process is very lengthy to create groups

To be able to grab and copy a list of email addresses and create a group with them by pasting into a new distribution group. Yes,It should be that easy.

If you drag and drop an contact from one account to the other inOutlook 365 it is moved. I would like to have the option of choosing between copying and moving.

When you right click on an email address of someone not in your contacts, there is a quick option to add them to contacts. There should also be a way to add them into a contact group without having to first add them as a contact. It's an unnecessary step when adding contacts.

Outlook 2016 does not permit email dragging from Inbox to the Group but the Web Version does.

When creating contact group with 50 + individuals, the current method is quite time consuming and tedious. If I had the ability to simply select multiple contacts (through a search method) and simply drag and drop them into the Contact Group List life would be fabulous and I could get back a few hours of my time! Thank you :)
