thank's for your shared.....
That bit of shared info is 5 months old. MS has been "working" on the problem since October (7 months ago). The most recent post to that thread is here:

Hello everyone,
We apologze for the delayed response on your inquiry. I understand that you are having issues on Windows Live Mail 2012 with your grouped contacts. Please be informed that this issue is still under the care of our Escalations team and is still undergoing further investigation.
Rest assured that once an update is available, everyone will be notified. Your patience and understanding regarding this matter is highly appreciated.
Thank you.
You have no idea how aggrevating is your message, Ms. Marites Ma. You are the second moderator who posts to this thread the same apology, without saying what is the source of your information. Do you think that after 4-5 months anyone here trusts or believes that Microsoft cares about us or about fixing this product? Or is this an automated message you were picked to send to open threads on a rotation basis? PLEASE SPARE US FROM ALL THE FAKE CARE OR P.R. A resolution/fix is long due and we expect nothing other than results. If you read previous posts you should have realized that we are ways beyond falling to such P.R. We also run out of patience and moved on to Gmail, Thunderbird and other reliable products. I personally, don't use any Microsoft product anymore, unless there is no other choice.

Microsoft had a good mail program with Outlook Express and Windows Mail. They started getting more and more problematic with the Live series (2009, 2011, 2012). I'm using WLM2009 since it's still supported on Windows 7 and 8. The mail app in Windows 8 can't compare and the generally slow response of web based solutions like Hotmail & Outlook.com is too frustrating for me.
