Contacts viewed in Microsoft mail

In Outlook Express I had the option to show the contacts folder as a pane in
my current view. This option doesn't appear in Vista, at least I can't find
it. Anyone know how to get it?
Thanks
Tony

Hi Tony,

Sorry, Tony. Windows Mail does not have that feature anymore. Contacts open in a separate explorer window now.

You might consider switching to Window Live Mail Beta (WLM) instead. It handles Contacts better. WLM supports Pop3, IMAP, HTTP website (EX: Hotmail) email, and is a lot more stable. Plus, WLM has a separate Inbox for each account. WLM will automatically import Windows Mail messages, accounts, and settings into it. Contacts will have to be manually imported. (Tools, Contacts, File, Import, Address book for current Windows User.)

For US and UK:

For non-US and non-UK locations (direct download): http://g.live.com/1rebeta/WLM_en-us

No, that option is not available in Windows Mail.
