    Windows Mail - Creating Groups

    Since switching from Outlook Express to Windows Mail, I have not been able to
    figure out how to create groups for mailing E-mails. I have accessed the
    Help and am not able to follow the instructions because I do not have the
    same menu listed for my tool bar as they describe. When I access my
    contacts, my top toolbar says File, Edit, View, Tools, Help and then
    underneath I have a second toolbar with these choices: Organize, Views, Burn.
    Groups is no where to be found. How do I create Groups??



    Thank you!

    Perhaps you're a few buttons short of a toolbar. Are you missing these?

    Your Contacts have lost their specific folder type.
    Open Windows Contacts. Right-click somewhere in that
    empty white space to the far right. Select Customize This Folder,
    click the little triangle, and from the dropdown list select Contacts,
    then click OK.
