I assume that if you want to create a group with specific contacts, then those contacts should be part of your local address book.

Inside the group view or in each contact detail view ?

'remove from group' would be more user-friendly I think. Regards, Julien _______________________________________________ List info: http://lists.roundcube.net/dev/
