You would think it would be so simple.
What i want to do is import a list of emails into mac address book.
I have a group of emails separated by commas.
example:
roberts@hotmail.com, reiki@shaw.ca, linda@reikiheals.ca, wellness@gmail.com, reiki_master@creekbend.com, bob@holisticallyyours.ca, artal@hotmail.com, john.doe@freemail.com, jane.does.email@yahoo.com

Here's what i've done:
I put the emails into one cell in excel then "text to columns" so that they are all in separate cells in 1 row horizontally. I put the first cell(A1) as "name" (so that i can later click "ignore first card") Then i save it as Windows CSV file.
Then I Import "text file" in address book. Then i see my emails and they all say "do not import" next to each one.
Please help i'm desperate i've spent hours reading forums and talking to mac tech support.

Update:
I have noticed that if the email has the word "email" in it it will change it from do not import to "email(other)"
ie; john.doe@freemail.com or jane.does.email@yahoo.com
