| Guest | Creating Contact Groups in Windows mail My Vista Mail help files say I can create a contact group by clicking on the "New Contact Group" on the toolbar. Problem is there is no "New Contact Group" item on my Vista Mail toolbar when using the Windows explorer. Despite looking through all the discussion group replies, and going to the suggested tutorial, I STILL can not get the 'New Contact Group' button to appear. Thanks in advance for your HELP! |

Obviously I can't even figure out how to post in these forums with trying 3 times, but I've been really trying with this newsgroup bit! Thanks in advance, too! |

Do you make sure the right-click is the first thing you do after opening the contacts window? Are you sure you're using the Windows Mail program, not the different program with a similar name, Windows Live Mail? Vista comes with one newsgroup server already connected, labelled Microsoft Communities. I forget the details of how to get started in it, though. |

| Guest | Re: Creating Contact Groups in Windows mail The triangle is to the right of the current folder type in the new window that opens when you click Customize This Folder. The Contacts you should then click is on the list that appears after you click the triangle, not the one in the toolbar of the contacts window. Apply will be grayed out and sometimes hard to see until you click the right Contacts. OK should be visible, though.
