I have another issue that is pending stemming from a problem that may have been created by modifying the .csv file exported from AOL.com contacts, in an effort to import into Outlook.com. (its' a duplicating contacts issue.)

While I wait for that issue to be resolved, (it's been a month or more) I am trying to track down the root of the issue myself.

It all starts with Aol.com export utility.

1. I export a contacts list to .csv from aol
2. I try to import that untouched, unmodified, .csv file into outlook.com and the email addresses are missing.
3. I see no way to "map" the fields, that would be very useful.
4. So I am stuck trying to modify the .csv in order to make these contacts show up correctly.

I can reproduce this issue from any aol account into any outlook.com account.

This MUST be a known issue.

The fix should NOT be to modify the file OR to import the file into Windows Live Mail.

The import tool in Outlook.com should just work, and have the correct mapping functionality to insure that it works.

Is anyone else in the same boat here?

What is the official answer for what I am supposed to do to get my contacts over from AOL.com seeing as the export import is failing?

Thanks...
