IN Outlook there is only one Contacts folder to add email addresses to. How
do I add another separate Contact folder or address book?

Have you tried the File | New | Folder command?

a second Contact "address book"

Contacts IS a folder. View the Folder List and you'll see it there.

Make a new Contacts Folder. Or alternatively, use Categories to separate
different types of people and keep them in 1 folder.

You haven't explained why you want the folder so it's hard to advise you on
the best way.

Ok,
I guess i'm not explaining myself clearly. Look to the left column of
Outlook, on the bottom left of my outlook is four tabs, that go in order,
"MAIL", "CALENDAR", "CONTACTS", TASKS". From what I see this IS NOT a typical
folder but more of an ADDRESS BOOK. I have a contacts folder which has as
any folder emails stored in it. HOWEVER, the CONTACTS tab, which I refer to
as an address book has emails, but histories of each email and organizes by
name, email, etc. This contact folder is what I use as an Address book to
send to groups at a time and or to import into my mail campaign program. I
need to create a second Contact OR Address book for newer emails.

Each of the buttons you describe brings up a different navigation pane. What the Contacts navigation pane displays by default is the contents of your default Contacts *folder*. You may also see other contacts *folders* listed in the navigation pane as well. Using the File | New | Folder command, as I suggested earlier, to create a new contacts folder will put that folder as one of the options in the Contacts navigation pane.

What was throwing me off, is that under Mail Folders there is NO Contacts
folder.

That's because a contacts folder isn't a mail folder. The Mail navigation pane shows mail folders. The Contacts navigation pane shows contacts folders. The Folder List navigation pane shows all folders.

Thanks Sue. Ok, this is where I am at. I created a Contacts Folder.
However, the new Contacts folder (Contacts 2) is NOT showing up in the lower
left Navigation pane. But, when I click on Contacts, above shows 2 contacts
folders, the old and the new. But I can't see how I can Drag and Drop email
address in this new folder. I can only drop into the old Contacts in the
Navigation pane. ??

If the new Contacts folder shows in the Contacts view, you should be able to
drag/drop from the original to the new.
