Thanks so far.

One problem that I encountered is this. I already had some contacts with a
category of "birthday" selected. Based on your suggestion, I added a
category of "Nokia" for contacts that I wanted to include in my Nokia
mobile.

When I arrange by category, the five contacts that have both categories show
up in the Birthday category ONLY.

Is there a way of haven them appear in multiple categories (birthday, nokia)
instead of birthday only

OK. If I don't keep multiple folders could you suggest an alternative

the only way to make changes in all 3 folders is to edit them yourself
(or
copy the edited contact to the other folders). Keeping multiple folders
is
generally a bad idea, in part because its too hard to keep the data
updated on all copies of the contact.

I am not sure I understand this. Here is my situation

I use both Outlook and Outlook Express. I have two sets of contact
folders in Outlook: one with contacts without email addresses and the
other with contacts with email addresses.

The Email contacts folder I could easily synchronize with Outlook
Express
through Plaxo. That works for me.

Now I have selected some contacts from each of these folders to place
in
my Mobile phone. These contacts I have copied into a 3rd folder called
Mobile.

I have a Nokia phone. I can then use the Nokia Synch to synchronize
the
contents of the Mobile folder in Outlook with the contacts in the
phone.

Here is my challenge. The contacts in the Mobile folder in Outlook
also
appear either in the No-email or Email contacts folders. So if I make
a
change in one of the mobile contacts I would have to remember to copy
that changed contact in its parent folder. My questions is simply...Is
there a way to have this change automatically reflected in the parent
folder.

So I am not sure if your suggestion of using categories will be useful.

Any suggestions will be appreciated

I have two different contacts folders. There are some names that
appear in both. If I change a phone number for John James in folder
A,
is there a way to have that change automatically reflected with that
same name in folder B.
