Exporting "Windows mail" to Outlook -Distribution list missing ema

[Guest]

A Vista user has their contacts (including distribution lists). When
exporting the contacts and importing in Outlook, they all show up however all
of her Distribution lists are void of any email addresses.

How can distribution lists be easily imported into Outlook from Windows mail?

Distribution lists have never survived an import from any non-Outlook format, so this is not unexpected. Groups in OE/Windows Mail have no counterpart in Outlook and must be recreated from scratch.

Sometimes, if you're lucky, importing from Outlook will retain the contents
of groups. File>Import and Export>Import Internet Mail and Addresses.
