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.
