Thanks Russ. For some maybe, but for me at least, nothing is easy with
Outlook. E.g. why not just make it possible to export contacts by category,
e.g. into an excel file??? ANyway, here's what I tried/got: Icreated a new
folder named Orbis (my client). A new personal folder called Personal Folders
appears in my folder tree. Hmm... then I click the new personal folders and
create a new folder in it called contacts, and tell it to make it contain
contacts. I double check that it's creating it in the new personal folders.
Nothing happens. I have tried it numerous times, with different pst file
names, folder names, deleting, rebooting, etc. UI can't get it to create a
contacts folders. Hmm...
Help!!! Thanks.

File New Folder. You have the option of creating a Contacts Folder in
the "Folder Contains" dropdown.

Hmm... File-New-Outlook Data File? THe new PST contains Deleted Items
and
Search folders. How then do I create a Contacts folder in this pst file? I
tried creating a new folder and dragging contacts to it, but it creates an
email to all the addresses (cause it's not a contacts forlder).

Exporting is never a good way to transfer Outlook data.
Just create a new PST file and copy these contacts into their own
Contacts
Folder in that file.
