    Folders in Live Mail Address Book - Windows 7


    Would very much like to have folders like in Outlook Express. I would like to hit the "To:" button and select a folder and pick and choose recipients and then tap another folder and select from it. I need to have my contacts segregated in to groupings like above.

    As is when I drag and drop into a "catagory" and hit the "To:" button I get everybody in that category.

    There must be a better way - I would buy a dummy book if I could find one.

    Please,

    Hi Jim, Welcome to Seven Forums.

    If your using Windows Live Mail, you need to sign-in with a Hotmail account, use it to store all contacts. It can be deleted if you don't intend using it. Then you will be able to categorize them in groups.

    Thank you


    I will try that - I have 500 contacts and hope to drag and drop them into folders. Will this change my e-adress????
