It is easy to get all addresses in the address book into PhpList but it is difficult or time consuming to get groups out of Outlook express.

1. go into outlook express, address book, choose your group.
Click on a member, Ctrl A t select all addresses in the group, Ctrl C to copy them.
From Start menu choose
