It applies for clicking the TO: field to get the list of recipients.
(Far as I am concerned THAT is the only way I will use email.
There is no typing involved).
The same on my side.
Knowing that the original poster
wants to do the same thing, Win Mail sucks.
In OE you could create list A of 10 contacts/list B of 20
contacts and list C of 15 contacts. Only the default list A
would come up and show 10 contacts. If you wanted list B
you click for it to show and only 20 contacts showed, etc;
Interesting.
Thanks for explaining. I did not see what the OP was after :-( :-(
I had been working with OE and its WAB since OE first appeared and never
used any extra lists, just one.
Then I changed the source of the addresses to directly using the Outlook
which worked perfect until Outlook 2003.
Never had any need to use extra "groups".
In my above example, with winmail you have a large list of
45 contacts showing at all times. For people with 200 contacts,
it is a total nightmare.
A "nightmare" with just 200 contacts??
Come on, you seem to be a rather fearful person <bg&d>.
Where might be a problem?
Just typing a letter or 2 or 3 and that's it.
There are > 1.000 contacts in my Outlook PST and I imported them all
into "Windows Contacts".
The only "nightmare": Data getting out of sync as there is no tool for
synching Outlook Contacts and the rather poor "Windows Contacts" and the
data therefore - naturally <!!> - differ sooner or later. And importing
Outlook data into "Windows Contacts" is quite something {siiigh}.
