Windows Mail w/Vista

[Guest]

We bought a new computer in March. It came with Microsoft Vista and Windows
Mail. I am not too computer literate and since most of my computer working
is easy, I just re-entered my address list as I needed it. Didn't try to
transfer it from the old Outlook. I had gotten used to going to Tools>select
recipients to put my contact's e-mail address on my e-mail. Well, today I go
to Tools>select recipients and there is not one contact listed! I minimize
my new e-mail and go to Contacts and there they all are.

What has happened in the Tools selection list on a new e-mail that causes it
not to pull up my contacts so that I can select a recipient(s)?

The Microsoft webpage has misled you (and many before you, don't feel bad <g>)
into posting your question in the wrong place. This newsgroup is not for Vista
or for Windows Mail; it's for a different program, Microsoft Access.

I'd suggest scrolling down and posting in an Outlook newsgroup. I'd suggest
windows.vista.general but I hear that it's deluged with trolls posting vitriol
and misleading answers; if you do post there, wear your Tyvek flameproof
coveralls and don't take the attacks too seriously.
