Default Mailing lists not importing

Most of the time it can't be done. Contact groups in OE have no counterpart
in Outlook. Outlook uses Distribution Lists. However, if your versions are
concordant enough, groups will be converted to DL's, but only if you have
them in your default Contacts Folder. Nothing can ever be imported from
subfolders.

Hi,

I've recently changed over to Outlook from Outlook Express. I used the
"Import Internet Mail and Addresses" feature to import my address book
which it has done sucessfully, with the exception of a number of
mailing lists that I had set up that were in a separate folder in my
OE address book.

I can't find a way of importing these missing lists to Outlook. Any
suggestions please?

Many thanks

Paul
