Sorry. Poor choice of words. I should have said "category"
In Outlook Express, my address book was arranged by what
I called groups, or folders. I named them such as
Family, Friends, Business and kept the appropriate
contacts or addresses in them.
When I switched to Outlook ver. 2002(10.6515.6625)SP3, I
imported my Outlook Express address book into my new
Contacts list. I then went in and created "categories".
When I try to address an outgoing email, I get only the
straight sequenced contact list. Not by category.
However, when I click on Categories in the Folders list,
I get the categories list, with + by each category, and I
can click the + to expand and see each item within. But
I can't address an email from there.
What I would really like to see is my address list with
expandable categories or folders when I click on a button
to address new email. Do I have to go back to OE to have
that function> Thanks for your help.
Lost and confused.

State your Outlook version and what you mean by groups.
Outlook does not use groups.

I changed over from Outlook Express to Outlook. I
imported my address book to Contacts. I created groups
for my contacts, such as Family, Friends, Business,
etc.
However when I make new mail, Outlook only shows me the
whole list of contacts in alphanumeric sequence, not by
the groupings. How can I look for addresses within the
groupings?
