How to create an email group

Hi folks

I would like to create a few Email groups in Windows Mail. I have seen the
option somewhere but have lost it ;-)

In the help it says open Windows Contacts and:

"On the toolbar, click New Contact Group, type a name in the Group Name box,
and then fill in the boxes on the Contact Group tab and Contact Group Details
tab. You don't have to fill in all the boxes; just type as much information
as you want about the new contact group you are creating."

However what tool bar and where is the option. I have clicked and opened
eveything and I cannot find the option to create a group. I only see the
option to cretae a single contact.

Click on contacts and then you'll see this toolbar:



In the middle there it says New Contact Group.

To get to the page that Steve showed you do what Max told me to do first -

Right click a blank area in the Contacts window. Choose "Customize This
Folder".
Under 'Use this folder type as a template:', choose "Contacts" from the drop
down list. OK out of it.

Hi everyone: I've done what you have suggested, but there's no option for
New Group Contact -- just individual contacts -- when I click on Contacts.
It used to be there, but it has disappeared!

Help!

(boilerplate reply).....

When you have the Contacts folder open, you should have a button on the
toolbar for "New Contact Group". If you don't see this button, perhaps the
folder template got changed, as it sometimes does...
Right-click on a blank area of the right pane, and select "Customize this
folder"
in the pull-down box, select "Contacts"
OK

After you go to the right side and right click and hit "customize folder" you
will see a button for "restore defaults" I hit this and it brought it back
for me. I spent hours before this trying to figure out what went wrong.
Thanks all.

I'm also trying to create a large contact group and have just been reviewing
your discussions on this subject.

When I click on contacts on the toolbar, there is no option to create a new
Contact Group. When I go to customise, there is a contacts option but it is
already on the list of tools so I can't add it again. Nor is there any 'Add
new contacts' tool in customise

Any suggestions very much appreciated
