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.

  • 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.

    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

  • Remove contacts duplicate Windows Mail contacts list

    original title: Windows Mail Contact List

    Due to a problem of software of Samsung download many of my contacts in windows mail has been copied several times. I need to remove hundreds of duplicate contacts. Will never delete one at a time. Can you advise how to highlight that both 30 and remove at once? Thank you

    These keystrokes work in most lists in Windows:

    1. Click on an item to select it;
    2. Click on an item to select it, hold CTRL and click on either one to be selected at a time;
    3. Click on an item to select it, hold the SHIFT key and click another to select both and everything in the meantime;
    4. Click on an item to select it, hold CTRL and press A to select all the items.
    Press DELETE to remove the selection.
     
    You will find it easier to select multiple items in the Contacts folder, if you select view > Details.

  • 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.

  • How to remove 'hidden' contacts that do not appear in my contact list in Windows Mail?

    I have a contact in mail. I guess that it was put there by a few emails I inadvertently opened. Anyway when I try to fill in the "to" box on a message that I normally get an AutoComplete list, I put in the first letter of the name, if there are several names starting with the same letter. Now, when I start typing a name with the letter 'L', instead of the 4 names in my contact list that start with 'L', I get the full name of a spammer, let's call him "loser at lumphead dot com. When I went to my list of contacts to remove this stupid I couldn't find this address! So I have 3 questions. Where Mail did in fact raise the file which has the coordinates? How an address to get into the system like that and stand out of the list of contacts? Most important: how to remove a contact 'hidden' like that?

    Thank you for your quick response.
    No, Shawns response suggested to go to the C:\users\myname\contacts file and delete it from there. I had tried before when I tried to locate the list of contacts somewhere outside Mail (sorry I forgot to mention that). But the contacts Vista file did not show this 'hidden contact' either. But further down the page, I found an answer to a similar problem. Gary van in reply to "re: delete contacts autocomplété" gave this link.

    http://www.Winhelponline.com/articles/264/1/utility-to-clear-recently-used-email-addresses-in-Windows-mail.html

    This leads to a file called winmailmru.zip. This tool allowed me to bring up a window showing ALL the contacts which it previously 'hidden', with options to remove them. I selected and deleted. Problem solved.
     
    But I still wonder: where was hiding the contact "hidden"? If it wasn't not in Contacts of Vista directory where Mail was from?  How this winmailmru.exe utility it found? It is also strange that the contact in question seems to have the ability to bypass the selection popup box that shows generally all other contacts beginning with the letter typed and force his way into the 'To' box, excluding the possibility of chooseing another contact. I am happy that my immediate problem is solved, but I wonder if the ability of a person sending a mail to 'hide' a normal contact and overide process in Mail is a security problem or just a nuisence? Anyway, thanks again for putting me on the path to the solution.

    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.
