Make it so ACT! can Import GROUPS into Outlook.

I set up Outlook to allow me access to the Contacts in Act, but each contact is listed individually. There is no way I can set it up to import them by group to make mailings easier. I find if I click the E-mail button while I have a group selected, an empty e-mail opens with no contacts, however; it contains contacts with the smallest subgroup. I simply need to be able to open Outlook, Click To: and select a group for that particular mailing subscription. Forwarding is a very simple concept and yet ACT! is not effectively compatible with Microsoft Outlook to this extent.

As it stands, I have to keep a constantly changing contact list in several different groups up to date. At the same time, I also have to keep every contact list group in Outlook up to date. This is time-consuming and incredibly inefficient. I find ACT! to be the best software choice available in every other aspect. Please make this possible to greatly increase the value of ACT! software.

 

Thanks

P.S. It also might by worth including compatiblity with Thunderbird and Gmail since many companies are beginning to transfer to those e-mail clients for better compatibility and security.
