Why don't the names from my address book show up to the left when I compose a message? They did in Windows XP

more options

Previously, when I clicked on "write", a column of names from my email address book would show up to the left of the message box and now they don't. When I imported the personal and collected addresses, two folders of each showed up: an empty "Personal Addresses Book" and the "Personal Address book" that I had imported. The same happened with the Collected Addresses. I wonder if this is part of the problem.
