I want to create an email list based on email addresses (120+) that I have in an excel file. If I do copy the column of addresses and paste it into the new mailing list window, the email addresses appear as the display name which I don't want. My preference would be to be able to copy the "name" column and the "address column from excel and have them appear as such in the New List.

Set up a worksheet with these columns: First Name, Last Name, Display Name, Nickname, Primary Email, and copy your addresses into the Primary Email column. Leave other columns blank if there's no data. Export to csv format. Then, select Tools/Import...Address books... Text file... Files of type: comma separated (csv), select the csv file. Make sure the input fields align with the TB address book fields, and move them up or down as necessary.

This will create a new address book in Address Book, and you can form a mailing list in that book by dragging and dropping contacts.
