Windows Forum / Windows Vista / Mail / May 2008Folders & Groups in Vista
When using XP/Outlook Express (OE) I was able to sort my 250+ addresses into Folders and Folders into Groups but Vista does not permit me to do it. Folders permitted me to sort by major catagories and Groups permitted me to send bulk distribution within a Folder. If I make a Contact Group in Vista if works like Groups in XP/OE sending mass distribution from the Vista Group. Anyone know how to bring this OE capability back into Vista? Folders don't exist in Vista's Windows Contacts. As to what you can do with Groups, see http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/69738-contact-groups-windows-mail.html  SignatureGary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (WLMail) > When using XP/Outlook Express (OE) I was able to sort my 250+ addresses into > Folders and Folders into Groups but Vista does not permit me to do it. > Folders permitted me to sort by major catagories and Groups permitted me to > send bulk distribution within a Folder.

Gary -- The Contact Group acts like the old Groups in Outlook express. It is used for bulk mailing. Folders, in Outlook Express held sorted names where you could pick and choose who you wanted to send to. FYI -- if you place a + in front of the Contact Group name (in Vista) it will be at the top of the list when sending out emails in Windows Mail. When you click on "To" and the contact list comes up, the Contact Group will be at the top. Thanks for trying but I knew about what you were saying. > Folders don't exist in Vista's Windows Contacts.

Unfortunately, Windows Live Mail Contacts doesn't have folders either. Its groups are a little more flexible in that you can expand the group on the To line and delete members of the group. So, it isn't just an all-or-nothing mailing list as in Windows Mail. SignatureGary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (WLMail) > Gary -- The Contact Group acts like the old Groups in Outlook express.

Gary -- Never thought of that but when I have a Retiree List of a hundred or so people and only want ot send out to a few that becomes counter productive. Should have ordered my new computer with XP.
