RE: Contacts and creating Distribution Lists

To whom it may concern:

I recently received a spreadsheet with Names, email,
phone, etc, and it needed to be inmported into Outlook
Contacts. I made sure all columns were in their means,
and converted it into a .csv file. Afterwards I imported
this file into Outlook contacts, made sure that all
fields were mapped, and voila. Everything seem to have
worked out. I made an adjustment to each one afterwards,
changing the company name to be the full name. I created
a new Distribution List, and began adding in names, but
when I did, the 'email' field associated with the name
was incorrect. In fact, it displayed parts of other
fields. When I went to look at the name in question in
Address book, all the information looked like it was in
all the right places. I don't understand this behavior. I
did an inquiry into this behavior on Outlook's Knowledge
base, and found similar issues related to improper
display of info, and that Microsoft is 'aware' of it.
Can anyone shed some light on this issue?
Thanks for your time.

It sounds as if you did not map the email field correctly.
