    We have Windows Live Mail accounts for all five members of our family. Because of this, we have almost 500 contacts. When I go to send an email to multiple persons, I have to scroll through all 500 contacts to select the ones I want. Is there a way I can organize the contacts into folders or something, so I could just see my own contacts and scroll through them to select the ones I want?

    Thanks.

    Does each family member have their own windows user profile? If not, that should probably do the trick.

    Each family member has their own identity in the program. On our old computer, with Outlook Express, you would switch between identities and the address book only had that persons' contacts. That's what I'm trying to accomplish here.

    Sorry Bucksone but each family member should have their own user names to log on with, you won't encounter this or other nuisances if that were the case.

    Create a new user for anyone who uses the computer and let them each individually worry about their contact details.

    That is the only way I found to do this. Otherwise it puts them ALL in the Contacts folder no matter how may users there are as long as each one doesn't have their own user name to log into.

    Ok, I'll mark this as resolved, I guess.
