How do I assign contacts from my contact list in a new list

edI don't know how to explain this so I am going to tell you what I did and
what did not happen.
In my email Inbox I click 'New' then 'To'. This brings up the 'Select
Names' window.
In the 'Show Names From' drop down menu there are 2 choices: Contacts and
Outlook Address Book. I set up a new one called Vendors.
I would like to be able to click on 'Vendor's' and have each of our
vendors come up in the 'Name' list so I can pick the vendors I want the email
to go to. I am trying to take names from my contact list and put them in
the 'Vendors' list but no matter what I try I have been unsuccessful.
Can anyone help?

The Outlook Address Book is a container for address lists built from your
contacts folders. You have a default folder named Contacts and have
apparently added another contacts folder named Vendors, right? If you want
names to appear in the Vendors list, copy or move them from the Contacts
folder into the Vendors folder. You can drag or Ctrl+drag them or use the
Edit | Copy to Folder or Move to Folder commands.

I can drag them from my contacts to the Vendor folder in my 'Folder List' but
when I click on New/To:/Vendors there are still no names in the 'Name Box'
