• Print the list of windows mail contacts

  I have windows vista. I use windows mail to my email address. I got the House and officde the contact information.
  I would like to print a phone list, address labels and set up group for printing lists.
  I could do when I used oulook express.  This option has been eliminated.
  How can I do this?

  Windows Mail and Windows Live Mail do not have the functionality to produce with their programs mailing labels (just what Kreekanth described above which I don't think that's what you're looking for).  However, you can export list in an Excel spreadsheet as a .csv file and Excel and print the labels.  If you do not have Excel, you can download a free 60-day trial (or usage limit 25) at: http://us20.trymicrosoftoffice.com/default.aspx and then you would need to buy it (and it is quite expensive but I found that I couldn't do without it - right now I'm using the Office Professional 2010 beta version which will be available for almost a year (without deleting my installation 2007).)  Alternatively, you can import it into Microsoft Word to do a mailing, but Excel is easier to work with this type of project.  Here's how to do a mail merge in Word: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/294684 (which may be easier to use once the project is completed for future projects involving the same or a similar mailing list).

  Alternatively, you can download Open Office (www.openoffice.org) which contains essentially the same applications as Microsoft are free permantently.  It is not quite as robust as Microsoft Office (IMHO), but is still a great product and well worth the download if you do not have Office or are unwilling to pay for it.  The one major drawback to OpenOffice is that it doesn't have an equivalent application for Microsoft Outlook - but you can continue to use Microsoft Mail or Microsoft Live Mail.  You can export the .csv in OpenOffice Calc (equivalent to Excel) file and the labels from there.  You could also import it into writing, Word equivalent to printing the labels of OpenOffice (but Calc is easier to work with this type of project).

  I hope this helps.

• Access the list of Windows Mail contacts

  Sorry, you can not.
  In Windows Mail, you must click on Contacts in the toolbar when you need to see your list of contacts and it opens in its own window.

  P.S. The terminology...
  Outlook is Microsoft Outlook.
  OE = Outlook Express

• How can I import groups of Windows Mail contacts in Windows Live Mail?

  I work in a small office where we have computers running Windows Vista and using Windows Mail (version 6.0.6000.16388).  We have hundreds of contacts and a few contact groups on these computers.

  A few months ago, we got two new computers running Windows XP and Windows Live mail (version 2009, version 14.0.8089.0726).  Other computers at the office always have Vista and the other version of Windows Mail.

  I was able to export our hundreds of contacts and import them into Windows Live Mail for new computers have all the contacts... but I was unable to find a way to import groups.

  These groups are all very large and comprise mostly/entirely out of contacts that do not have individual contact entries.

  I've been Googling for a solution to this problem.  The page nearest you, that I could find was this:

  http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/3818-Windows-Live-Mail-import-Vista-contacts-contact-groups.html

  I was very discouraged when I saw the big red warning to the top of the page:

  ---------------
  In the Groups of Contact with Vista, only contacts who are also included as normal Contacts will be imported into Windows Live Mail. Contacts that have been created for the Contact Group only will not be imported into Windows Live Mail. You will need to write these down and add them manually in Windows Live Mail.
  ---------------

  This pretty much described my situation exactly, but manually going through all groups, write all contacts, and then import them manually into two separate machines should always and is simply not an option.

  Are there really no other way I can get these groups into Windows Live Mail?

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you very much!

  I have not actually tried this, but I think this method will work.

  1. get a free Live ID (or @hotmail.com or @live.com).

  2. install Windows Live Mail on Vista computer. During the installation, it will offer to signature with a Live ID. Do.

  3. the first performance of Windows Live Mail, it will be important to all contacts from Windows Mail. Give him enough time to synchronize all contacts with the web version of this Live ID.

  4. open Windows Live Mail on the new computer and then connect with the same Live ID. The automatic synchronization process will transfer in all contacts of the web version of this Live ID.

• List of Windows Mail Contacts

  When I want to send an email to someone and click the box 'To' the contact list are not in alphabetical order.

  How do I arrange my e-mail contacts list in alphabetical order see after clicking the 'To' box?

  
  

  Windows Messenger Contact list is always stored in alphabetical order.
  It may not SEEM to be just because of the way that you entered addresses.
  When you first enter an address, you will notice there is a box for first name and a family name area.
  Make sure that do you this for all contacts, and then decide if you want to list first, first name or last name first.
  If all the above is done, you will see the list of how you want.
  Example: Last name first
  RE: List of contacts - first name
  Open Windows Mail > click Contacts > in the window of the Contacts, right-click on the word NAME > click MORE > in the next window, select the name and click MOVE up to move the family name at the front very > click OK.
  The list will now begin with the names of family first.

  See pictures of screenshots:

  

  

  This is how your contacts list will look like, and when you click on the button to, they will also list Lastname first in alphabetical order.

• Reinstalling Windows Mail Contact List

  I had to reinstall my whole computer, because it crashed with an update of Windows 'stuck '.  I have my Windows Mail contact list saved on my C drive, and also have a CD of it.  I tried to import the list, but I can't make him - how can I put my contacts back in Windows Mail without having to re - type the entire list?  Thanks for any help

  I've never had the pleasure, it's just a JOKE. Assuming that you have saved the file containing the list of contacts, move it from the CD to the desktop. Right click on the folder. Properties and make sure it is not marked read-only and then try to import from there.

  Open Windows Mail > click Contacts > on this Contacts window, right-click on an open space inside the window > customize this folder > under what kind folder O do you want?, click the pointer on the far right (there is only a single pointer here), click Contacts > OK

  Now look, you will see new Contact button group.

• Windows Mail Contacts: How can I find the names in alphabetical order A - Z?

  original title: Windows Messaging Contacts

  I use Windows Mail in Vista. If I open my Contacts icon, all my names are listed in order alphabetical by last name, except they start from the Z - A instead of A to Z. However, if I click on "New Message", click the "To" box, all names are blurred; that is, they are not in alphabetical order, and I can't get a person with the same name as another. How can I a) find the names in alphabetical order, from A to Z when I click on the box 'To', and b) retrieve my contacts displayed A - Z?

  Thank you.

  By clicking on the header above the names of contacts line, they should be used in the other direction. Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]
