Hello Brett,

You can create "Smart Groups" in Address Book Application.
To create a Smart Group:
1.Choose File > New Smart Group.

2.Enter a name for the group, and then specify search criteria.
Use the pop-up menus and entry field to set the criteria. Click the Add (+) button to specify additional criteria.

3.Select “Highlight group when updated” if you want Address Book to highlight a Smart Group’s name whenever it automatically adds or removes a contact.

4.Click OK.

Cheers,
Ronni

Speaking of Address Book, is there any way to create a smart group of 'recents' like in iTunes (recently played).

I have about 900 addresses and most of them are old but I don't want to delete them. Would love to create a group of people that I've called or modified within the last year.

It's hard scrolling that many on an iPhone and voice recognition doesn't work well enough.

Apple Mail doesn't have an Address Book as such. When you click Addresses,
you're only getting a "glimpse" from the actual Address Book.
Anything you want to delete/change/modify, you have to do from the "Actual"
Address Book.

Open Address Book. (From Applications folder, not from within Mail)
From All, highlight the name you don't want and then hit the delete button.
Similarly to add Groups, it's all done from the "real" Address Book.
That's it.

Kind Regards
Daniel

Thanks Bob but no, it doesn't work that way, in 10.4.11 anyway.
You can only 'remove' from the list' in the Previous Recipients &
when u select from Address book u can't delete.


Any other ideas ?

thanks,

Ken

Hi folks,
how does one remove obsolete addresses from the Mail Address book
please?
I've just done a archive instal, my address book should be the
same as it was I thought but my Groups are missing?

Thanks,

Ken

Addresses can come from either of 2 places

Under the Window drop down menu find   Previous Recipients

and I think once you find one to delet , click once on it and hit
the Delete key

In Address Book  Click once on the name adn " Delete
