I have successfully transfered my Contacts email list from XP Professional to
Windows Vista Business and I want to use Windows Mail for my emails.
Microsoft Knowledge Base has an explaination article describing how to
sort/display the Contacts list in Last Name, First Name format. I cannot
find a similar article for Windows Mail in Vista Business OS.
Any one know how to do this?
 
Windows Mail works the same in all editions.......
In the Contacts folder:
Change the View to "Details".
Right-click on the "Name" column heading, click on "First Name", then click
on
"Last Name"
Click on the "Last Name" heading to sort by that, or click on "First Name"
heading to sort by that.

In a Create Mail window:
Click on To:
Click on the "Name" column heading... it cycles thru 4 different sorts
 
When you type in the names in your contacts, there is a small arrow at the
end of the line. Click it, and it will allow you to insert a comma between
first and last names and then everyone will be alphabetized by last name.
