Default distribution list

I have a user who created a whole bunch of email distribution list which now
need to be moved to a separate "contact" folder.

How can I choose all the contacts in a distribution list and move them to a
contact list as individuals and not a distribution list.

Thanks,

Default distribution list

you'll need to go through the whole list and pick and choose then move them
yourself. Now... if you just need the addresses into individual contacts
you can save the DL as a text file (or use Send, in internet format to
create a text file) and import it into a folder.

FWIW, we recommend using categories and views to separate contacts, not
folders. We also recommend using categories to create DLs, it makes it
easier when you edit contacts or need to do something like you do now.
