    Is anyway or any place where I can download this gadget.

    Thank you

    I'm really happy that we issue is resolved.

    The methods on the functioning of the gadgets is not well documented, and I'm not an expert on the contacts, so I don't know what will happen if you try to update in the future.   You need to maybe just remove the gadget if it is not updated, and then add it back again.

    see you soon,

  • 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.
