Maybe I wasn't clear. I wouldn't use the contact list off of my website to mail them and if I don't have email addys, I don't have regular mail addys. I would use contacts from P3to mail things. I am just tired of going line by line (40 pages) of contacts to select who something is going to.

Wish I could offer some helpful advice....I find our PWS difficult and frustrating for contacting guests, so I'm not very familar with it.
You may want to see if you have it programmed to add everyone to your contact list. If so, you may consider changing it so that you decide who to add and avoid having ctcs without email addresses. Not much help, sorry.

And if you delete them from one & not the other, the next time you sync, they'll be added again. I agree, if you are sending out a newsletter or something, just add everyone. The ones without e-mail addresses should automatically be omitted because there's no destination. I use iContact, not the PWS to send e-mails, so I'm just assuming it works in a similar manner.

What are some easy ways to identify contacts without emails?
You can identify contacts without emails by using filters in your contact management system or spreadsheet. Look for entries that are missing email addresses or use sorting features to group contacts by their email status. This will allow you to quickly pinpoint those that need to be removed.
