How do you import email addresses into Outlook/Express INTO A CONTACT GROUP from a .csv file?

I can import email adresses but I have about 2000 addresses I want to import from a csv file - I don't want them mixed up with the addresses currently in the address book. I want to use the import list as a group on its own. HELP

How do you import email addresses into Outlook/Express INTO A CONTACT GROUP from a .csv file?
Two ways to do this. You could create another address book as a sub-directory to your current and import the CSV into it using the File %26gt; Import/Export wizard.





Otherwise you can also add a Category to the contacts so you can easily filer them from your other via View %26gt; Arrange By %26gt; Category.


To do this take the CSV and import it into Excel. Then in the category column type in a word that you want to Categorize them with. Apply this to all records and save the file. Now go back to Outlook and use File Import to import the xls file. Make sure to click on the Map Custom Fields button near the end to match up the field mappings.





Once all the contacts are imported, click on contacts. View %26gt; Arrange By %26gt; Current View %26gt; Phone List. Then go to View %26gt; Arrange By %26gt; Category. Your newly imported contacts should display separately with the custom category.
