    Accessing contacts groups...

    Man, adjusting to Win Mail is difficult after years of Out Express. In OE6 I
    was able to divide my contacts into sub-categories or groups, such as
    "Co-workers", "Family", "Online friends", etc. for easy reference and
    access. I finally figured out how to set up groups and add names from my
    Contacts, by when I click the Contacts icon there's no listing of my groups.
    When I create an email and click To: my Contacts show but not those in my
    Groups.

    How can I access the Groups after I've created them? This is so unintuitive.

    Did you scroll down to see if the "Group" name appears in the listing of
    contacts?

    I use a "_" in front of all of my group names "_Test", this allows them to
    appear at the top of the listing

    Thanks, that's a nice tip. It's a shame such trickery is needed just to get
    an "improved" product to function as well as it's predecessor.
