Vista - Windows Mail - contact groups

When creating an email in Outlook Express I clicked the 'To' button and then
could click on a drop down menu 'main identity's contacts' which gave me
contacts within groups.

I don't seem to be able to do this on Windows Mail. Is it possible?

Thanks

you have to scroll down the list to find the GROUPS.

You already posted this issue 4 hours earlier under a slightly
different subject header.

I purchased a new laptop with Vista installed. Using Microsoft Mail I am
unable to create Mail Groups. I've been told to click on the toolbar, then
"New Mail Group", but there is no such button to click on. Is there
something I'm missing?

In WinMail, Click on the Contacts button. This opens the Contacts folder.
If you don't see New Contact or New Contact Group on the toolbar, then
right-click on a blank area of the window below the toolbar, and select
Customize this Folder... change the template to Contacts
click OK

Thank you Dave! I do now have the "New Contact Group" button on my WinMail.
Very good.

Dave, Thank you from me too. I had tried everything until I found your advice
here, which sorted out my problem immediately
