Organizing email address in Vista Windows Mail

05-01-2008

I'm new to Vista so, I probably missed a few hundred posts about this MS
screw up. I just installed Vista Home Premium on a new build. Actually
everything went better than most I have done.
That is till I downloaded my address book from XP. They went in flawlessly,
opened up to see if I needed to organize the several files I have.
Family-Personal-Work-Etc..
Well now-------some MS geek decided it would be funny to put them all into
one big alphabetical unorganized LONG list. Started goggling MS blogs,
"can't be done" was the only
answer that I could find. This is hard to believe. Surely they have fixed
it or someone has found a work around by now. Can anyone help????

Yes, I organized Contacts, but as we know it didn't transfer to address
book, what am I saying there is now address book, only CONTACTS and an
unorganized list in
Windows Mail.

Hi Ron,

Sorry, but Outlook Express is not compatible with Vista. You can use the Office Outlook 2003 or newer though with Vista.
