Hope I can explain this so it is understandable.

On a new computer with Vista Home Premium, I had no problem importing my OLE address book from the old machine. In OLE on the older computer, in the address book, I had a folder for SELDOM USED CONTACTS, email address I used once or twice a year. It was a folder that showed in the drop down menu when I composed a new message and clicked the little icon to the left of the address space. Clicking that icon brought up the address book and only the addresses I didn't have in the Seldom Used Folder showed. Since there weren't many of them it was easy to scroll through and pick the ones I wanted.

Now, in Vista Mail, after importing, I had every email address from the non-folder and the Seldom Used Folder back all together. Fine, I set up a new folder and dragged all the infrequently used addresses into that folder. When I open the contacts (address Book) they are all in that folder and everything looks the way it should be and the way I want it.

Here's the problem. When I start a new message and click the icon to the left of the address line, I get every single address, including those in the seldom used folder. Didn't happen in OLE. Any way to only have the address that aren't in the folder show up when I click the icon and none of them in the folder show up? In OLE the Seldom Used Folder showed up along with the addresses I used all the time and if I needed one, I could then click on that folder to get the list of seldom used addresses. Hope this makes sense.

Thanks!!!
