From what application did you export it?

File>Import and Export>Import from another program or file (this is the
default option, by the way).

I did use the default Import/Export. Thank you. I imported into a new
contacts folder. When I go to send a email I can not pull up the email
address of the recipients from this contact file. The information is in the
file and can be viewed. The names are not showing up on the Select Names,
How do I make this list visable to send emails?

That is expected behavior when you import Contacts. Importing fails to
resolve email addresses. You must open and save each individual Contact
record to resolve the electronic addresses. They will not appear in the
address book view until you do.
