Can't seem to get addresses from group folders in Windows Mail address book
to transfer to Outlook Contacts (Personal not Business) address book. Single
addresses transfer, but the group folders transfer without the addresses they
contain (the folders transfer empty). There are hundreds of invidual
addresses in these folders, so I don't want to have to do it maually! Any
ideas? Thanks.

Groups in Windows Mail have no counterpart in Outlook. Outlook uses
Distribution Lists. It is not usually possible to transfer groups in
OE/Windows Mail groups to Outlook. In some versions, importing into Outlook
will convert groups to DL's, but in most versions it is not possible.
