Is there anyway to import an xls email address list into Microsoft OUTLOOK
or even windows MAIL where all the email addresses aren't just incorporated
into the main list? I mean is there a way to make them go straight to a
folder and only THAT folder? Would like to keep them seperate if at all
possible.

I've done this and it works reasonably well. In Outlook, you need to create
a new contact items folder to hold the imported contacts if you wish to keep
them separate from your main contact list. From there, 'File|Import and
Export|Import from another program or file|Microsoft Excel'. The major
stumbling block in this is setting up a Named Range in Excel, the import
won't work without it. Depending on the Excel field names, you may have to
tweak the field mappng also.
