| | Organizing Contacts While I can put my contacts into folders, when composing email and I click on the "To:" I get an alphabetical list of all my contacts. They are not sorted into the contact folders. In OE you could organize the "To:" list via the "Adress Book", but in Vista there is no Address Book, just Contacts. How can i get the "To:" list organized to show the Contact folders with associated email addresses? |

| | RE: Organizing Contacts I don't know if this is where I'm supposed to enter my post, but here goes: I couldn't figure out how to post a new question, so I am expanding on RNB's question: I am trying to set up my "address book", and while I can sort the contacts alphabetically by last name (which is what I want), when I'm sending an e-mail and click on "To" to select recipients, they are listed alphabetically by FIRST name - which I do NOT want. How can I change this? OE let me arrange them anyway I wanted. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

| | Re: Organizing Contacts When you are looking at the list of contacts after clicking on 'To', click on the 'Name' column header. Each click will cycle to a different sort, for a total of four. I believe that once this is done, it will remember your preference from then on. -- Gary VanderMolen [MS-MVP WLM] "dolphino" <dolphino@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:0C02AB4A-B214-434A-8D45-0CA57B906F38@xxxxxx Quote: >I don't know if this is where I'm supposed to enter my post, but here goes: > I couldn't figure out how to post a new question, so I am expanding on RNB's > question: I am trying to set up my "address book", and while I can sort the > contacts alphabetically by last name (which is what I want), when I'm sending > an e-mail and click on "To" to select recipients, they are listed > alphabetically by FIRST name - which I do NOT want.

| Vista x64 Ultimate SP2, Windows 7 Ultimate x64 | Re: Organizing Contacts While I can put my contacts into folders, when composing email and I click on the "To:" I get an alphabetical list of all my contacts. They are not sorted into the contact folders. In OE you could organize the "To:" list via the "Adress Book", but in Vista there is no Address Book, just Contacts. How can i get the "To:" list organized to show the Contact folders with associated email addresses? Sorry, Windows Mail does not support that feature anymore. The closest thing you can get to a folder to show up in the "TO:" area is a Contact Group. You can see how to make one in this tutorial. http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/69738-contacts.html Shawn |
