Your thanks is enough. No one keeps score on the volunteers.

Presumably a contacts folder should appear in the new personal folder. I
think I just answered my question. I am accustomed to looking at the
"Mail"
folder list, not the complete folder list. By switching views, the
contacts
folder appears and I have solved my problem. Thank you very much for being
so
responsive. How can I "rate" your service?

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.
