Question asked on Nov 30, 2015

I am running Windows Live Mail on Windows 7.  I have entered a test CSV contacts file using Notepad.  When I import the contacts to WLM, the email field is not filled in any place in the contact record.  The name field works fine.  A copy of the CSV file is:

Full Name, Email Address
John Doe, (*** Email address is removed for privacy ***)
Jane Doe, (*** Email address is removed for privacy ***)
Harvey Wallbanger, (*** Email address is removed for privacy ***)

I have tried email fields with and without parentheses, <>, " ", and ' '.  Nothing seems to work.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
