Importing is never the correct way to transfer Outlook data. It's hard to
know how much damage was done in your doing so done without your providing
any details. You didn't even bother to post your Outlook versions. I would
start by configuring your Outlook Address Book correctly. We'd tell you how,
but without knowing your Outlook version, it's not possible to do so. Since
we post that information almost every day, find a post that matches your
version and read it.

I had to start fresh with a new hard drive and reinstalled Outlook. I
finally got the correct file imported, but now the contacts cannot be
found
from within an email. All the contacts are there, but just not
recognizeable
in the "To" field of the email windown. HELP! :-)
