Is there a way to import groups into Outlook from Windows Mail?  If so, how.  
If not, what is the easiest way to do it without recreating the entire group?
Please advise... Thanks...:>)

AFAIK, you cannot import DLs (groups as you say) into Outlook.  They must be imported as individual addresses and then the DL must be rebuilt.  

Using Categories is simpler and more robust.

Hi Milly...
Thanks for the response... How would you use "Categories?"  Do you
substitute that for DL's? I'm not quite sure what you mean by categories>>
Please advise..
Thanks... Charles:>)

Once you have the contacts addresses in Outlook, assign each one a category, for instance "Office team" for your office team.  When you need to send an email to your team, sort your contacts by category, select all of your Office Team contact and select "Actions->new message" - much more robust since the members can be in several categories.
