Show Contacts below folders?

In previous email readers (and in third-party readers like Thunderbird) you can configure the leftmost panel of the main screen to show folders at the top and a scrollable list of contacts in the bottom half.  All I seem to be able to do on Windows Live Mail is have a Contacts button that then brings up a completely different panel with the contacts.  I can't keep this panel up as it consumes too much screen real estate.  Is there any way to reconfigure so that contacts are always displayed in the bottom half of the Folders panel, like in other readers?
