Vista - Contact groups in Windows Mail

clagger · 11-12-2008

Hello

I would like to set up contact groups in my mail account. I have followed all the instructions but can't find "New Contact Group" as an item in my toolbar. I am now at a loss as it seems to be missing.

Can anyone suggest what I now need to do.

Thanks

If the toolbar in Contacts doesn't have all the options, then the
folder type for Contacts is incorrect. Try this:
Open Windows Contacts. Right-click somewhere in that
empty white space to the far right. Select Customize This Folder,
click the little triangle, and from the dropdown list select Contacts,
then click OK.

I wanted to do the same and realised you have to select categories on the
toolbar and name it whatever you wish.
