I exported my list in CSV format but when I try to import it into NMS I get this error

Error at line 1, no such list "newsletter"
 
newsletter is my only list. Is NMS calling my list something else and how do I find out? I wish I could export the names I manually imported.

Could it possibly be a delimiter problem? I know I was trying to import a list in CSV format and found that I didn't have *NIX line endings...changing the line endings solved the problem for me.

What is a *NIX line ending? Is that a windows thing?

Windows and Unix (and Mac) use different code characters to represent the ends of lines in a text file, such as a CSV file. The module expects unix line ending characters. If you're working on a Windows computer, the module won't import your files correctly. You'll have to convert the line ending characters--most programming code editors will do this for you and there are some free utilities to do this. I had a link once but I can't find it again and I don't recall my Google search for it. Sorry to leave you hanging on that one.

No problem. Nix=unix. I should have figured that out. I'm on a Mac and a unix server. I just have returns after each line. Not sure why that would effect the inability to recognize the list name. Is there a way to export the list. If not this probably won't do me any good anyway.

I was having the same issue and finally figured it out. Don't enclose your content between commas with double quotes. I used notepad++ and did a replace to get rid of them all. so "email","user","list" becomes email,user,list and its worked.
