Import/export

[RonB]

I have a large number of business e-mail addresses stored in groups e.g
Classic Boats A1" "Classic Boats A2" right the way through the alphabet, each
group contains 10 addresses. These groups are intermingled with my personal
e-mail addresses which are not in groups.

I am trying to export the business addresses to a CSV folder with no
success. I can export all my personal addresses but not the business one's,
they are always left behind. Can anyone please advise me as to what the
problem is and how I can overcome it.

Incidently, these business addresses are not useed for spamming only for
sending out our quarterly news letter.

The "groups" are called distribution lists in Outlook.

Instead of DLs, try using categories to designate which recipients will be sent items for Classic Boats A, Classic Boats B, etc. They are much more robust, can be configued on the fly and you can export them to a ..csv without problem as they are individual contacts.
