Workaround for Exchange Distribution Lists on iPhone [Tips]

msexchange_iphone

The iPhone uses the ActiveSync technology to sync and view your email, calendars, and contacts.  A drawback of the ActiveSync technology is that it does not support distribution groups.  However, if you have taken the time to setup a distribution list in your Outlook, I have a workaround for you:

  • Find an email that was previously sent to the distribution group in your sent items
  • Click reply all from that older email
  • Delete out all the body and subject content in the email message
  • Save this cleaned email to your Drafts folder
  • The email template containing your distribution list will now sync to your iPhone
