Imported Microsoft Mail Vista from OE 6.0 XP Via CSV has Groups

[Steve]

Mail I exported all my OE 6.0 XP addresses using CSV onto an external drive.
I then imported the file from the external drive into Microosft Mail Vista
Windows Contact CSV. It went great and all names and emails were filled in.
However, afterwards I had two problems:

1). There were no groups imported
2) The automatically complete email address when composing does not work,
even though I have Tools/Options/Send and Autocomplete email checked.

What do I do?

I used the File>>Import>>Windows contacts and pointed it to my OE address book. The groups came over intact. I did have problems with the sort order. I had to edit each contact so that the name was displayed as Last,First so that it would sort the way I wanted it to.

The autocomplete works differently in WM. It will remember the last 29 addresses you type in. I liked OE better. Just hit the To button and then the first letter of the name and it will find it for you.

Laura, thank you for your quick response. However, I do not believe either
of my questions was answered.

The WAB program and file will not export groups to a CSV file. Copy your
..WAB file to your Documents folder and import from that.
