Whenever I try to end a message, I am unable to use my contact groups! For
example when I open the create mail and select "to:" the select recipients
page open, but there are not any contact groups to select. All the addresees
arether but not any groups as there was in Outlook Express! Where did they go?

Hello CasperLA,
Look at the toolbar where Create Mail, Reply etc are. The icon right after
Send/Receive is the Contact icon. Click that.

It's a Windows Mail shortcoming. The Groups feature works correctly in
the newer Windows Live Mail, to which you are welcome to upgrade:

In Windows Mail, you have to do it backwards: open Contacts, right-click
on the Group, select Action, Send E-mail.
