Import and Apply to Distribution List
 

We imported email addresses with an excel spreadsheet. We then converted it
to a CSV file because it wouldn't go. It's all in now, name, company,
category, and email address.

The problem is...when we try to create a distribution list and we select the
name from the member list, only a comma or, nothing appears. We are unable
to add one of the imported names into a distribution list.

Since we applied a category. Is it possible to send email by category?

I am inquiring from a school district and we are trying to send out parent
newsletters in grade groups (categories). Can anyone help us here? Thanks.

Sounds like you didn't import correctly:

Categories are actually a better way to group Contacts than are DL's and you
can use them in lieu of DL's:
