Case in point: This morning I sent out a mass email and I have several groups that I sent it to. One of the email addresses bounced for the very first time and I cannot find this person in any of my email list groups but he must be there. Is there some way to find which group Or groups a particular contact is in?

Unless I've misunderstood, both the address books and mailing lists which contain a contact are displayed when you click the Search button in the Contact Pane.

Install MoreFunctionsForAddressBook (how to install), and then each contact will display the address books and mailing lists that contain it. View the info in the Contact Pane or on the Addressbooks tab of the contact's Properties.

Thank you very much for your help. This program shows me which of my address books a given contact is in. I was hoping for something that would show me in which of the groups I have created a contact was in.

You are correct. I was accidentally looking at a person who wasn't in one of my groups! Pretty dumb. Thanks so much for your help!
