How do I group my contacts into categories?

How do I add contacts to a category?

  • Categories used to be called groups, but I can't find how to use either with contacts in the group

  • Answer:

    First you need to click on the contact you want to add to a category. Then a screen will pop up with all that contacts information. Under the person's name but above the EDIT and DELETE button there is a thing that says CATEGORIES: UNFILED. Next to that there is a button that says ADD. Click on that and add the category you want.

If you do not have the Categories set up, set them up, and you can choose "Add Category" then name the different categories you wish and be sure to "Save" or "Done" yellow button, afterward. Once the Categories are created, you can either add all of the categories for each person, by selecting the person and then selecting "Categories" in light blue, adding all of the categories for that person, then select the yellow button "Done" button. Then go to the next person. (this takes a while) If you are adding a category, or just creating an update, I select the box (not the name) for each person I want to add to the particular category, then select the "Add to Category" option (in light blue) and select the particular category (or categories) you wish to add. Select "Done" yellow. Once you have spent a little time with the Category set-ups, emailing is nicer and the lists are already created, just select the "Category" above the Address Book at top right, then select "Go" and choose the field (To, CC, or BCC) for each person. I prefer BCC for privacy. Good luck

ADDING CONTACTS When you receive a message you will see a small box following the email address that is not yet in your contact list....click on that and it will bring up the option of adding it to your list...This is normally only those that are in the FROM box... When you send a message any email address not yet in your list will come up in a box giving you the option of putting it in the list.. You can do it by yourself by clicking on CONTACTS near the top of your email page and you will see where you can place a new email address and click on ADD... Should you want to add them to one of your categories place a checkmark in the box to the left of the contact name (after you have added it as directed above)...go above and click on ADD TO CATEGORY...once the list is brought up click on the category you want it in and that automatically puts it in... +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ EDITING CONTACTS To edit the information for ONE of your contacts click on CONTACTS...once your list is showing click on the NAME only (do not place a check mark in the box to the left of the name) and this will bring up the EDIT option...should be on the right side of the screen. Click on CONTACTS on your email page. Once your list comes up you can place a check mark in the box to the left of it and that will bring up ..SEND EMAIL....INVITE TO CONNECT....ADD TO CATEGORY....DELETE....... If you want to delete more than one at a time just place a check mark in the box to the left of SORTED and this will place a checkmark in front of ALL of your contacts. You then have to go down your list and click on each check mark that you DO NOT want deleted and this will remove the check mark. You then can pick the option for the remaining contacts.....
