How do I transfer Groups (Contact Lists) from an older computer to a new one?  Over the years, I have set up lots of Groups, but when transferring contacts to a new computer, it seems the only method available is a CSV file, which is essentially plain text and does not handle Groups at all.

The good old Outlook Express is the only email program that could import and export Groups of contacts.  Microsoft chose to abandon it in favor of a stripped down version of Outlook Express that they now call Windows Live Mail, which can't import or export groups.  Microsoft encourages us to set up groups, but then offers no way to preserve them, no way to export or back up Groups.

I am getting really disappointed in Microsoft.  I do not trust it any more.  I cannot rely on Windows Live Mail.  I will seek a better email program.  But, in the meantime, it would be nice to hear that maybe I am wrong and maybe there is a way to transfer Groups after all.
