Contacts and Sending Email

[Guest]

After painstakingly sorting 400+ contacts into folders, I needed to send an
email. After creating a new email, I clicked the "To" button and was shocked
to find that none of the folders that I created in the "Contacts" were there.
I would have to sort through all the people in order to find the ones I
wanted. Yet, when I click on the "Contacts" button, everyone is listed in
their respective file folders.

Previously I was using Outlook Express. My "Address Book" had all my
contact people in file folders and when I pressed the "To" button, the list
of people displayed just as they were in my "Address Book" - in file folders.

Now that I am using Vista and Windows Mail, how can I get to see my
"Contacts" in file folders when sending a new email out?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

I have a similar problem. I tried to transfer all of my addresses from
Outlook Express, but no avail. I have a folder with my contacts, but when I
transferred them to Windows Vista (which has no heading for addresses) I only
get e-mail address, nothing else. To be usable as addresses I must post
individually other information, which defeats its purpose. Very unhappy
with Visa and especially with Windows Mail. Can anyone give a substantial
answer.
Thank you, Irene V in NJ

The answer is "You can't".
You can make all the folders you want, but they won't be recognized when you
compose a message.
