Contacts problem

[Mike Schatz]

Greetings...

I have a mail group set up, but when I want to add (select) members, nothing
happens. The scroll list of all contacts doesn't appear like it did in
Outlook Express.

Is there a setting I'm missing?

Thanks for any help on this.

Mike

Windows Mail "Groups" are mail lists. You send to the "group", you send to
all of the group contacts.
There's no easy way to remove certain contacts from the group, except to
save the email as a Draft, then re-open it.

The newer Windows Live Mail works better in this area.

I'd like to make sure I understand you. Are you saying that when you opened
the contact group that you set up, there was no names, the list was empty ?

Names are there. What happens is if I want to add another name, I click on
the 'Select Members' button on the right and nothing happens. In Outlook
Express when I did that all the names in my address book showed up just like
when I click on the 'To:', Cc:' or 'Bcc' button to add names when composing
e-mail.

I can always 'Add' a new name by using the 'Add' button on the bottom right,
but that only puts the name in the current group and not in my contact list
like OE address book did.

Thanks Dave, but I know what Groups are; I've been using Outlook and Outlook
Express for years. It's just that the functionality that were available
pre-Vista worked very well and now they don't.
