Moving Groups from OE to Outlook

[Me]

Hi,

One of our staff wishes to move rather a large number of large groups from
their contacts in Outlook Express to MS Outlook.

Contacts (as individuals) move across OK, but not Groups. Effectively we
want the same groups in existence in Outlook as Groups or Distribution Lists
or whatever they're called

Thanks in advance

OE "Groups" do not export to Outlook as the format is unsupported in
Outlook.

Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact. All
unsolicited mail sent to my personal account will be deleted without
reading.

After furious head scratching, Me asked:

Groups in the WAB are not the same as DL's in Outlook. Importing Contacts
from OE rarely if every preserves these groups. Occasionally I have seen
Outlook's Import Wizard create DL's from groups, but it was only with one
version and most often groups are lost.
