How do I move email addresses to a group folder?

Howdy

I would like to add a few email addresses to a new Group folder. From what I have read on this forum, I should be able to highlight the address I want and drag it to the folder. But it is not working. I can highlight the email address, drag it over to the folder, but it will not enter into the folder.

I am running Lion, 10.7.3. My email program is the one that comes with the iMac, 5.2.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

Make sure you defined a new Group and not a Smart Group. Contacts can be dragged to a group name but not to a smart group since that's defined by search criteria.

And make sure you're working in Address Book, not the Addresses pane in Mail which can only be accessed, not edited.

Hi, Captfred

Thank you for your speedy reply. How do I define a group as smart or not? If I remember correctly, there should be a + sign and a - sign at the bottom of the Groups column, so that I can work with them. But they do not appear at the bottom of that column in my mail program.

Thanks
