Hi,
is there an easy way to find out to which (manually created) group a contact
from the "all contacts" group has been assigned?
I want to make sure that I didn't miss any of the "all contacts" and
assigned them all to their respective group because the "all contacts" group
is pretty big ...
Thanks in advance for suggestions,
Best regards,
Gabi

Hi Gabi,

Hm, well one way is to just right-click them, choose Group Options, then Move contact to --
whatever group they're in won't be listed there.

I realize that's rather lame though -- right-clicking them all will be pretty dull.

Neither the contacts export function in Hotmail or Messenger seems to include the group
either sadly.

Hi Jonathan,
thanks for your reply - that's what I figured out as well - too sad.
Almost as bad a workaround: printing a screenshot and comparing the group
members manually :-(
Maybe somebody finds a trick which makes life easier....

Hey Gabi,

That was a good idea, the screenshot idea is actually pretty decent -- at least for just
eyeballing it.
