Missing toolbar in windows mail for creating group contacts

I need some help... I have been trying to create a new group contact or mail list in vista's windows mail. When I open contacts their are displayed through explorer and I am supposed to have a toolbar with a button named "New Contact Group" and there is no such thing. I need some help to get this back so that I can create my group or mail list.

I would appreciate any help.

Hi tasila 796,

Right click on a clear space on the create mail toolbar:

There should be 3 Items ticked} Toolbars: Views Bar: Search Bar:

Left click on Customise: In available toolbars buttons, left click on
Contacts:
Left click on add; this should do it for you, Good Luck.

RE: Missing toolbar in windows mail for creating group contacts

I'm having same problem. It's not the contact tool bar. It's the option to
create a new group that is missing. Someone please help us. The option to
create a new group used to be displayed, but now it is gone. This happened
once before, then magically the option reappeared. But it's been days now
and no group option. Help.

Re: Missing toolbar in windows mail for creating group contacts

Posted daily...
Your Contacts folder has apparently switched from it's proper default
template.
Open Contacts
Right-click on a blank area of the right pane, and select "Customize this
folder"
in the pull-down box, select "Contacts"
ok
