i avoid WLM 2011 because i really dislike it's design. and for some reason the contact groups doesn't show up in 2011 version, it lumps them all together without the separate grouping.


I am using the same version as you are.
Everything as explained must be done through the hotmail website, not the Messenger program... If you've already accomplished the first step (importing from the CSV file), you are just one step away!
Look, I'm uploading two images showing how you should proceed AFTER you have imported your contacts from the CSV file. The difference is that you import "contacts", and for Windows Live, the Messenger cotacts are now called "friends".
Look at the images, I marked with red dots the places you have to click. It is in Spanish but I believe you will have the same layout with different language...

1) Go to MEESENGER/CONTACTS from the upper bar and look for the option "ADD FRIENDS" on the left menu

2) Select the option just below the box

3) Select the contacts you want to transfer to Messenger (be careful you have two categories of contacts here, first you have "the ones that use Messenger" and if you scroll down you will see more contacts as a second category). They don't let you add more than 200 contacts and you have to enter a captcha code if your account is not verified...

I hope it helps!
