Maybe you can help on a WindowsLiveMail (WLM) problem - ??

.
I put my category name in to the "to" or "cc" box - and then find that
only a few - sometimes none - of the contacts in the category are are actually on the
eMail "to" or"cc" list - as checked in the OutBox or as actually sent (as seen in "sent items").
.
I go to "contacts" - click on the category - and
see the COMKPLETE CORRECT list of names that I had included in it.
.
I do an edit on the list - and -
the box at the bottom -
which should show all the contacts contained in the list -
is EMPTY or has only 1 or 2 contacts listed.
.
I finally DownLoaded the WLM program from MS - and reinstalled it.
I set up my categories again -
and everything worked fine -
for two days.
.
Then - the Categories went FLAKY AGAIN -
contacts not transferred to the eMail to be sent - and -
the box at the bottom of the "edit a category" window is empty - even though
the entire list appears when I just click on the name of the category.
.
??????? Please - I am frustrated - as I use the categories a LOT !!
Can this be "fixed" ??
.

I don't know if it can be fixed but because Microsoft seems to be getting rid of Windows Live Mail (or Windows Live anything for that matter) in favour of Skype and Outlook.com, why not just switch to Outlook.com and go from there. You'll have to eventually anyway.

Thank you for this comment. I had begun to sense that Windows Live Mail was on the way out.
