Help creating Distribution list with contacts in Windows Mail

[Guest]

I have imported a list of contacts into Windows Mail and cannot figure out
how to create Distribution lists like I used to in Outlook Express...can
someone help?

 

[Dave]

They are called groups. When you open the Contacts folder, there should be a
button on the toolbar for "New Contact Group"

Dave - it must be me but I don't have or don't see the Groups or New Group
button...these contacts were imported from Outlook Express...any other
suggestions? Thanks very much - MJM

Your Contacts folder has apparently switched from it's proper default
template.
Open Contacts
Right-click on a blank area of the right pane, and select "Customize this
folder"
in the pull-down box, select "Contacts"
ok

Dave - yes thank you -- I have finally figured it out..couldn't have done it
without your help -- thank you very much...what do I owe you

You are welcome.
Just remember how to do this... because Vista seems to forget, or changes
the folder file template sometimes.

Thanks Dave, just what I needed.
