Groups are removed when no contact is assigned to them... this works OK. The problem is that when you edit your contact, it can be unassigned from only one group at a time. I created several groups "g1", "g2", "g3", "g4", all containing one and only one contact - the same contact "Goffi" for them all. If I edit "Goffi" and assign it to "g1" only... "g2" is deleted and "Goffi" is still in "g1", "g3" and "g4". If I do the same operation, "g3" is deleted, the contact is still in "g1" and "g4"... and so on. -- Beside that, imagine I want to delete a contact group containing a lot of contacts... how to do it fast? Currently I would need to edit each contact, unassign them one by one. -- Finally, something which could be done together with enhancement ID 15: in the "Update contact" dialog, the button is named "Add" but it should be "Update" instead. This is a bit confusing, I tend to think that this button would add a group.

Groups are actually not deleted but hidden. Adding a group with the same name than an previously existing group that has been hidden, all the previous messages will be bound to the "new" group. This is a problem because after some time having deleted/hidden a group, you want to create it again, having forgotten that there was previously a group of the same name. You may assign to this group another user set than the one that was used for the initial group. This new user set will see all the previous messages... When deleting/hiding a group, a message should ask explicitly if you want to delete, hide the group... or keep it empty! Yeah, actually you may want to access the previous messages even if there are no more users assigned to it. When creating a new group, if an previously existing group of the same name is found, the user should be asked if he wants to keep the previous data or ignore them (they would be deleted then, or maybe the previous group can be renamed?). Regarding that: > Beside that, imagine I want to delete a contact group containing a lot of > contacts... how to do it fast? Currently I would need to edit each contact, > unassign them one by one. I would add a menu item for adding/modifying/deleting (or just hiding?) group... it also make sense to create an empty group, if you want to prepare some data before sharing it... or even just to store your private data into SàT! When SàT manage message formatting this would be a good alternative to Google Document.

To unassign a contact from more then one group at a time now works, also the group manager dialog has been added. Displaying empty groups could still be needed to store private information. This could also be done, not for all empty groups but just the explicitely designed ones (like a modifiable special attribute for the groups) --> see if this would be conform to the specification.
