Open the mail program, Click on Contacts on the left side (look at the picture below)
Up on top you will see Import/Export Contacts
Click on Import Contacts
Look for the csv file on your HD
and Highlight it
Follow the rest of the instructions and it should put the contacts in

Thanks for your reply. However, screenshot is totally different to what I have in windows 8 mail.

I can't see any of what is shown in the screen shot otherwise I could have selcted import.

I have a very plain mail screen; could I be in the wrong view.

Because as said you need to go to the windows live essentials 2012 website given here. Download the program and pick windows live mail to install. Then you put in your mail info then you will see my picture
