In looking through the posts, is it correct that there is no way to send a group e-mail with windows live 2012?   I can create categories but not send to them?

If I right click the send e-mail is greyed out.  If I type in the TO: section and I try to send, I get an error of type in valid e-mail addresses.  It seems some say go to 2011.  How do I get that?  And if I do, how will my my messages and contacts  come over from 2012?

I am using Windows 7 and Version 2012 (Build 16.4.3528.0331) for Live 2012.
