Managing Contacts List

[Guest]

I hope someone can help me please.
I cannot seem to organise my contacts into folders as I could in outlook
express. Let me explain:
If I had an email to send to four or five friends, the list would show 'main
identtity contacts' and I would scroll through to select the recipients.
If I sent a business email to business contacts, then I would select the
'Business' folder I had created and select the contacts.... SIMPLE!
Since getting windows mail, all my contacts are lumped together- I have to
scroll through a hundred or so people to find a couple of contacts. I tried
creating a couple of folders ie 'Friends' and 'Business' but this just seems
to lump all the contacts together for mass mailing. Any help before my total
breakdown would be great!

No solution, but I have the same problem.

Contact Groups is a partial solution, but I've terrible memory for names. I
used to keep contacts in relatively short folders so I could pick the
appropriate folder and scroll through till I found whatsiname.

Also importing addresses from Outlook Express, the folders aren't imported
only the "main identities"

This looks like a loss of functionality on moving to Windows Vista.

Agreed sadly! Microsoft should realise that home users may only want certain
people to read emails (you should see what I don't send to my mother!!) I
don't need to send to a whole group, especially in business!
