Import email addresses to Hotmail contacts without inviting as friends

contactsimportoutlook.com

I'm trying to set up a group of contacts in Hotmail with an imported list of email addresses.

Under Contacts there is a manage menu that has an Import option. However, that lets me import a list of addresses as live.com friends (it shows the invite people page and will send out an invitation email to each address).

I don't want these people to be live.com friends. I just want a list of email addresses I can treat as a group.

Are my only options to:

  1. Add each email address manually as a new contact?
  2. Use a different email service or listsrv?

Hope this helps.
