In XP's Outlook Express I could make sub-folders for different groups email
addressed and only the addressed in the folder I was looking at showed up.
This was very convenient as I have large groups of addresses I only use
seldom and it separated them from family addressed I use often.
The Problem: Vista mail lumps all the addresses in my Contacts sub-folders
together in the "select recipients" window when I go to add an address, and
I must wade through hundreds of them to find the one I need even using the
name search window. Can I set up address sub-folders that Vista mail will
use to only show me the sub-folder titles and not all the included addresses
of every folder?

You can create the folders, but WM will not show them when you click on To:,
CC: or BCC:

However, you can do it bassackwards if you have folders... open your
Contact folder, open your sub-folder, select your recipient(s), right-click,
select Action - Send Email

Your answer was a great help. One more additional question, please. How
would I go about putting the addresses into the "BCC" block instead of "To"?
I guess I can cut n paste them if that is the only way.
Like capt Brigg said, "another good thing gone away."

I'm afraid Cut & Paste is the only way to move them to the BCC: field...

Thanks Dave,
What a great feature, gone. I used it a lot.
