I don't think I explained myself right. i am not using hotmail. I have gmail and am trying to use the windows live mail 2011 that came loaded on my pc. I have already imported my outlook express contacts into it, but am having issues trying to figure out how to set up groups.

Then try going to http://explore.live.com/windows-live-groups-help-center This is a Windows 7 forum, not a Windows Live forum.Please remember to click Mark as Answer on the post that helps you, and to click Unmark as Answer if a marked post does not actually answer your question.

New to Live Mail. Have been using Outlook Express for years. I imported all my contacts via CSV file into Windows Live Mail. I like to have groups of email addresses and am having the darndest time trying to create one. I have followed other instructions on here, but it is not working. When I do cntrl+shift+c, all I get is an add a contact window. I also do not windows contacts in my start menu, like some of the other posts have referred to. Thanks Jason
