Organising Contact Address

In Outlook Express 6, email addresses can be organised in the Address Book
into different folders for different categories of people, eg Office,
Friends, Relatives, etc. In doing so, we can just go to the necessary folder
for the list of email addresses, eg Relatives folder for the list of all
email addresses for relatives to select which relative you want to send the
email to.

In Windows Mail, although you can create separate folder under the Contact
directory for different categories of people, all the email addresses are
listed together in alphabetical order in the "Select Receipients" window.

Is there a way to configure it so that it works like in Outlook Express 6?

No. Suggest you download and use Windows Live Mail. It lets you do what
you are wanting to do. You can set up a group in Contacts, and when you
start a new email, you just start typing the name of the group and it sends
that email to everyone in the group at once. Cool! Windows Mail was/is a
buggy stop-gap that will soon be obsolete, can't see why anyone would want
to use it. "Everybody makes mistakes, even the wizards at Microsoft".
