Sorry, I can't help you with this. I can't remember the last time when I used
Windows, let alone Outlook or its addressbook...

BTW, if the CSV format is not the right one for you, try another format.
Perhaps you need to be a bit creative, and take one or more intermediate
steps (e.g. use another program to convert to format X, and use KAddressBook
to import format X...).

Try importing as VCard. I see a 'CATEGORIES:'-field in my addressbook list,
and I have several categories in my addressbook. Now the question is how to
get to that format... ;)

This was meant ironical. ;) Of course there are people who read FAQ's and
manuals (I am one of them), but sometimes I get the feeling of somebody s?he
doesn't (please don't take this personal).

Well, I hope that by mentioning 'FAQ' and 'manual', and that one can actually
find some answers in those things, people will look there first to find an
answer quicker.

But it can help to ask better questions.

New software -> new problems -> new questions

And newbies do not always know where to look, or where to look first, or how
to search. It's like moving into a new city: over time one gets to know his
way.

Hmm... sounds familiar... ;)
