Outlook 2003 - Email to Groups

[Tal Kramer]

HELP!

I've used Outlook Express for years and just switched to Outlook 2003. In
Express I had 'Groups' of contacts such as Clients, Leads, Newsletter, etc.
It appears that in Outlook / Contacts these are now called Distribution Lists
(DL) rather than Groups.

I've created a few DL's and 'Selected Members' and even sent emails
successfully to that DL. Here's the question / problem...

How can I look at a specific contact and know what DL's he/she belongs to?
Even opening the 'Detailed Address Cards' I can't find that information. I
can only tell by opening the DL and looking to see if the Contact is there.

That's only the first of many questions resulting from the transition but
for now its the most important one to me. Anyone have some answers?
(Note: I'm not looking for a 3rd party mail system so please don't recommend
one.)

Thanks in advance for the help

Outlook's address book does not work the same as OEs and you can't tell who
is in which DL unless you either look or assign categories to the contacts
you add to the DL. Using categories and grouping by them is the closest
you'll come to OE's Group function.
