Limiting individual contacts

[Guest]

My contacts are organized into various folders. When I want to send mail to
multiple addresses, I hit the TO: button to bring up the Contact List, but
every individual contact is listed from every individual folder. Is there a
way that individual contacts form one specific folder can be listed?

In OE Express, there was a separate box to choose what folder to view.

Try right clicking in the window and go to Group by and then you can
probably segregate them then.

No, you cannot.

The addresses that I do not what to show, I checked the hidden box in each of
the contact's properties. Now they do not show, But they are still there if
I need them

Thank you, that worked. I get a few newsletters from magazines. I created a
folder named Mags and dragged the news letters senders into the Mags folder.
Then on each sender in Mags folder I did what you said and marked each one's
properties to hidden. They do not now show up when I click To when composing
a new email. The Group / Folder Mags shows up, but not each contact that is
in that folder.

I tired this too
BUT now I cannot find or bring back my 'hidden' properties contacts
How do I find them again?

There MUST be a simple and common sense way to view/choose/see ONLY specific
contact folders
when sending an email address???
That would be very dumb and useless to not have a way to do this
If you can make seperate and specific folders - there must be a way to view
them when you hit TO:
otherwise what is the use of creating all these seperate folders?
Having them all come up is useless and wrong
I miss Outlook - isn't Visat suppose to be smarter - more user friendly - so
far NOT

If you miss Outlook, why not install it on your Vista PC?
Outlook 2003 and later work fine on Vista.
Perhaps you meant Outlook Express, a completely different program.

Windows Mail Contacts uses Groups rather than Folders.
There is a tutorial for how to use groups:

The Groups feature in Windows Live Mail Contacts is more flexible.
