Open the DL and and choose FIleSave As.

Re (2) & (3): Any chance of answers to these?

2) Can I import address/contact data from Excel (or CSV file) into a
separately-named Outlook address/contacts folder rather than to the
general
Contacts folder?

Yes.

If so, how? Outlook doesn't seem to allow selecting a
particular destination contacts folder for imported data.

FileImport and ExportImport from another program or fileComma Separated
Value (Windows)Next. Browse to the CSV, select it, click OK, select the
duplicate handling you want, and click OK. Select the folder into which you
want to import it and click Finish. Works for me.

3) Considering that Outlook does allow opening a .pst file with
address/contacts data into a separately named contacts folder, can the
current Excel file be converted into a .pst file either directly or via an
intermediate CSV file? If so, how?

You cannot convert a CSV file or a spreadsheet into a PST. You must import
into Outlook.
