Using Windows Contacts

I have have 4 contacts folders for different email types but , all I get is a
list of contacts when I go to generate a an email, unlike Outlook which I had
an option to select a contact from a Contact sub folder but if I go to
C:\Users\Dad\Contacts\friends ( folder name) the contacts are in my users
file but not showing on my Window Mail

Is that clear as mud?

It doesn't do any good to put contacts in sub-folders, as Windows Mail won't
show them when you create a message.

The only thing WM provides, is groups... which are mail lists.
