  • 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.

  • 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.

  • I use windows mail and put so once I go to windows mail notes are deleted from the Yahoo Server. Now, all of a sudden, they go in the trash of Yahoo instead of disappering

    Windows with Yahoo mail.


    I use windows mail and put so once I go to windows mail notes are deleted from the Yahoo Server. Now all of a sudden, they go in the trash of Yahoo instead of disappering. I use Yahoo mail for junk and spam of the screen, empty the trash from Yahoo, then open the remaining notes with Windows Mail after the release of Yahoo. This has just begun.

    It is not clear if you use a POP3 server or an IMAP account - it sounds as if it were an IMAP.  I don't know how messages get tossed into the trash from Yahoo rather than be removed.  You could try to remove the account, closing and reopening of Winmail opener and then adding the new account.  This resolve sometimes strange questions.  Also check interference antivirus (see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3).

  • 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.

  • 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]

  • window mail contact restoration of system backup and restore files

    I backed up my system on a portable hard drive, he said, he would return to the top of my window vista email contacts and emails, but when I tried to restore themn he wasn't able to find it can help any one?

    Hello

    The WindowsMail.MSMessageStore file is the file of database of WinMail. You will not be able to backup and restore that easily. You should back up the registry keys and the entire message store and no not only the database file. The WindowsMail.MSMessageStore file is only the database and does not contain messages. The messages are in the same directory, but under the directories that correspond to message folders in WinMail. Old Windows Mail would be apt file to search for.

    For more information, you can consult the following article:
