When I go to a Contact Folder and click names for e-mail, then click on top
tool bar "Send E-Mail", it opens a e-mail form. I type message and hit send.
It will not send. Also, if I hit Signature, to add my Signature set up in
Windows Mail, it is not there. I have Microsoft Office Outlook on my
machine, but I choose not to use it. It has more functions than I need.
 
That sequence does not work for me either.
Just learn a different sequence that does work:
Click Create Mail, click on 'To:', select recipients, write the email.

Are you clicking on "Insert Signature" on the toolbar? That button
is not there by default but must be added through customizing the
toolbar.

Gary, The reason that Creat Mail and then Select Recipients does not work is:
if you want to send to 10 people out of a list of 100 e-mail, you have to
filter through the 100 to find the 10 - Way, Way to time consuming.

The signature is just a minor problem and does not matter if I can't get
send from Contacts list. I have a signature set up in regular Windows Mail
account.
Thanks, Georgian
 
I don't understand. If you select Contacts first, don't you also have
to go through the list to find the 10 out of 100 that you want?

Gary, let me see if I can better explain. I am in Windows Mail Inbox. Yes,
I click on Contacts and I have some names in lists that stand alone, but most
of my e-mail addresses I have moved to Contact Folders. Click on Contacts -
look at upper tool bar - click on Organize and you will get an option of New
Folder. I have many folders witin Contacts. This is where the problems
begins. In the folder created, I highlight the recipients, then the option
is in upper tool bar I hit "E-Mail", and hit "send" and nothing happens.

I hope this makes sense.
Thanks, Georgian
 
Let me start over. Here is the question:
How do I set up groups for e-mails that are segregated so that I can select
a particular group and send to either entire group or select persons from
group.
Thank you, Georgian
 
Windows Mail has "Groups", which are mail lists.. You send to the "group",
everyone in the group gets the email. In Contacts, click on Add Group. If
you don't have a button for Add Group, then your folder template is wrong.

The only way to remove recipients in an email, after you have selected a
group, is to save it as a draft. Then reopen it and you can remove any that
you don't want to send to.
