My address book has only one folder in it and it contains those contacts from the Apple's address book that don't have email addresses only. >I had the same problem and it was driving me nuts, but I finally solved it. > >You probably have the preferences set so Address Book only gets synced >with PowerMail on startup.

As I stated in my original message, all the options are on, including synching when bringing PowerMail forward. So that's not the problem. I have managed to get all the contacts into the group after several tries. I added the contact to the group one at a time then quitting PowerMail, relaunching it and adding another contact and quitting and so on. The first run, after I added the seventh contact and quit PowerMail, upon opening it again, the group has reverted to the original two that would always stay in it. On the second run, it seems to have worked. I don't know if it will change back, since I don't really know what is triggering the bug. But the bug is still there and jumping through weird hoops to be able to build a group of contacts is not something that I would like to do often. The bug should be resolved. -- Jonathan Brady
