Outlook Classic problem setting up Group Contact list

I have successfully imported a csv file into Outlook classic, but when I try to set up a Group Contact list, it puts email addresses into BOTH the Name section and the email section.  How do I get it to put the actual names in the Name section.  The names show correctly in the address list, but don't transfer to the Group Contact list.

  • Outlook Classic has a basic template that is CSV must match if you want it to be how it should be viewed. I believe your CSV has some fields that aren't matching up.

    Tip: Export contacts from Outlook. Then you can see in that file how the fields should be. 

    Arrange the contacts you want to import to have the matching fields. 

    Try again.
