Why don't the 'Contacts' remain locked in "categories" I put them in? I use Windows Live Mail

I use windows 7, Windows Live Mail, and I went through all worthwhile to create categories 'A', 'B' & "C." as I created each category I placed my 'Contacts' in each of them. I did until I got all Contacts "in the"category I wanted. "

When I tried to send and email to all the contacts in category A. I wrote the email, went to the TO: button and clicked on it, and all three categories, with all my jumbled autour contacts have been identified.

How can I fix this? Is it possible to lock the names in the category? This is getting ridiculous, instead of making things easier for us, Microsoft seems to do just the opposite.

  • Why Thunderbird all in my Inbox dump if I check my email on my desktop using Windows Live Mail instead of this laptop?

    I don't have a printer connected to this laptop, so I often send emails my PC computer in the basement that has a printer.

Whenever I open my Thunderbird on this laptop after checking email on the basement PC, I find that every email in my Inbox disappeared.

  • Using Windows Live Mail. Screen reads, "some items can be hidden because a view is applied. How to access the hidden objects?

    Using Windows Live Mail.  My incoming screen is empty.  There is a message stating: "some items can be hidden because a view is applied.  How can I check to see if there are objects hidden and, if so, what they are?

    It depends on what version of the program that you use, but the key word is seen. In all versions, there are display orders; in 2009, WLMail, they are in the menu display . WLMail 2011, they tape everything what they own. In all versions, press Alt + V to display the available commands. Search, display or hide the options (to hide messages you have already read, for example) or a filter (for filtering messages read, for example).

    Windows Live Mail has its own support at the Windows Live Solution Centerforums. Please address any other question you may have on one of the forums on the right side of this page. You are probably asked to give your version of WLMail and Windows so that the answer may be more accurate.

    • In WLMail to find your version of the software, a press on ALT - H. If it doesn't show you the version and the build number, press on escape to two times, and then Alt - F B.
    • To find your version of Windows, type winver in the start search box and press enter.

  • How to keep Windows Contacts to update if you use Windows Live Mail... only for iphone

    Dear people of MS,

    The guys at tech Windows Live forum helped me as much as they could, but suggested I bring my topic to give you is a question re: Windows Mail and Windows Live Mail (WLM).

    Anyway, I had a computer crash on my Vista computer (all data had been backed up fine - it is) but in the meantime I bought a notebook with Windows 7 above. I started to use WL Mail on my new computer and when I finally got my old a return of the boutique (Vista), I downloaded WL Mail so that I would use same program of electronic mail on both computers. It makes sense to me.

    However, I have since discovered that when my iphone syncs with my computer, it only picks up the contacts of my Contacts from Windows Messaging folder, and * not * those of my WL Mail one.

    Question: what do I do if I want to keep my Windows Mail contacts up to date, ensuring that all new Contacts that I have receipt/get through WLM are also in my Windows Contacts so that when I sync my iphone the iphone is up-to-date with Windows Contacts.

    Windows Mail Contacts are so easy to see and then move that WL those who are not. It's horrible!

    Can you please help - after reading a lot of posting on the website of Windows Live, I'm assuming that I need to import the WL Contacts in Contacts in Windows Messaging is that correct? Is there anything else I should know or should do?

    Thank you very much.

    Best,

    Psych :)

    Hey Psych13 and Gary,.

    Looks like you two neglected, first paragraph, of Halima. Just to summarize his position, it is not possible to synchronize contacts between Windows Live Mail and Windows Contacts. They don't like each other, there's bad blood there. :)

    Assuming that you have different contacts Contacts Windows and your Windows Live Mail, the third link posted Halima will help you to consolidate your contacts in a single application.

    And assuming that you need help to set up your iPhone to sync with Windows Live Mail, you can use the fourth link for help.

    Let me know if you have any questions!
