Windows Mail Address Book

Previously using windows xp and outlook express, I had created a folder for
my wifes e-mail address and I made several different folders for my various
veteran groups. Within each veteran group I had the e-mail address of the
veterans who served in that group. It was very easy to isolate my address'
that way. With Vista Windows Mail I see that I can create different "Contact"
folders, but when I create a new e-mail and go to the address book to select
the recipients, ALL the address (both mine and my wifes) are listed in one
long alphabetical list!

Is there a way so that ONLY MY contacts (address) can be listed?

Thanks

Re: Windows Mail Address Book

Creating separate Windows logon profiles will create separate contact lists for each profile.

Re: Windows Mail Address Book

Windows Mail uses Groups rather than Folders. For a tutorial on how to
use contact groups, see
