Unable to modify or add users to distribution groups using Outlook 2010/2013

I'm unable to add or remove users from a distrubtion group in our GAL anymore since the Exchange server migration. Also all emails to prevous groups fail and bounce back. I tried deleting them and recreate them in the Bussiness Portal but I'm unable to add any users to any group now. 

 

"Outlook is trying to retrieve data from the Microsoft Exchage server W14CLBCH2.W14D.comcast.net."

 

Outlook will remain unrespoinsive until I force close it.

 

Others are having the same issue. It's nothing but problem after problem with Comcast's email servers.

So from the link above, seems they are aware of the problem. Only work around I could figure out was tyo either add a alias or forwarder. This only works for one person though. So in forwarding, you can create a distrubution with something like Gmail and then add peoples emails there. Then forward to that gmail account.

Ah just tried Gmail forwarding, and they only allow one email forwarding address. Nevermind.
