Choose File | Copy to Folder instead of Save and Close. You'll still have to open the contact from the Business Contacts folder to link it with an Account.

Default Add email address to Business Contacts

Thanks Sue. I cannot see how this answer is relevant to my question though. I
just want to take an email address from an email sent to me by - right click-
drop down menu apppears- gives a possibility of - "add name to Contacts"- I
dont want to- I want to be able to add it to "Business Contacts". How can I
make the drop down menu give me the option of saying "add to Business
Contacts"

Not possible. Outlook does not support doing exactly what you want to do with exactly the keystrokes you want. What I suggested was what I have found to be the closest equivalent.

OK Thanks Still do not understand how your answer addresses my question in
anyway at all! But I have found another option.
1.Highlight the email that contains the address you wish to add to your
Business Contacts.
2. Click- Add email link- which then creates a ne Business Contact with an
email adddress which you can then go into later to add other detail you wish.
