Windows Mail Contacts Folders Disappear

(Windows Vista Home)

In my contacts folder I have sub-folders for different groups; friends,
releatives, businesses, etc.

When I compose an email and I want to insert a recipient's address,
all addresses appear in a single column, not divided into the sub-folders.

How can I get my addresses to appear in the desired categories?

Hello Rodan

You will just need to use Contact Groups instead of subfolders fo
this. This tutorial will help show you how to create and use them

That method is unworkable for me. I will have to list my entire address
book with all addresses, regardless of subgroup, in a long, single column.
If I create a contact group by identifying some of the addresses as part of
that group, there is no way to exclude some of the group members from the
group for an email unless I go through the entire main list and find the
group members I want to include. I would just insert the group into the
email send-to line and delete the unneeded group members, but only the
group name appears and not the individual members for deselection.

Also, the group icon in the detail view is hard to distinguish from the
individual names icon.

It's a nightmare of awkwardness and obscurity. Rodan.
