New laptop, using vista -windows mail

[Postdog]

I have successfully set up my windows mail to send and recieve from my ISP, and imported all the contacts. However, when I used outlook in XP, I was able to display my contacts on the side bar below the folder list, and I can't seem to do that. Is it possible and how do I do it?

don't think it's possible PD, I've had a look at it this morning and unlike OE, the contacts are not available in the "view" options

Nah, with OE it was obvious, and I daresay if it was meant to be with this it would also be obvious.

I am beginning to dislike Vista - I can't load my favourite music player either :(
