Importing group contacts

I have numerous group contacts in Outlook but cannot seem to export or import
to WLM? Do I have to do them manually in WLM or is there a step I am missing.
All my other contacts imported properly.

I've never tried exporting/importing groups, but from what I've heard,
the group membership information is not retained during the
export/import process.

Thanks Gary but when I do a search on my computer of my contact groups, I
noticed they are allocated to WLM but are not viewable. So they do exist
within WLM but are not linked. There must be a way to make them usable to
WLM. Sounds like a bit that has to be turned on.

Craig,
I've experienced similar, when importing from OL to WLM.
Manually recreated the groups in WLM
- Contacts/Create New Group/Enter Group Name/Select applicable Contacts/Save

So far nobody has found an automated way to fix this.

What's the bottom line here. Can we or can't we import large group contacts
from Outlook into Windows Live Mail?

It doesn't look like there is an answer to my question other then doing it
manually.

I don't have first hand experience moving contacts from Outlook to
WLM, but from what I have heard, you can import all the contacts,
but you will have to recreate the groups.
