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.
