Default New to Outlook - Multiple Contacts files ?


Hi,

I'm brand new to Outlook.
I've been using Outlook Express for my email for quite a few years, and
a Day-Timer Organizer pgm for basic calendar stuff.
I just started a sales job a couple of days a week - I'd like to keep
my sales contacts in Outlook and Synch them to my BlackBerry (which I
also just got 2 weeks ago - a lot to learn there also...).
I'd like to also move my Outlook Express contacts to Outlook, but keep
the personal and business stuff separate.
I guess I should stop using Outlook Express, and move to Outlook to
take advantages of its features.
Is there a fairly easy way to keep the personal & business stuff
separate ?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Sure. You need multiple pst files and rules to move personal mail to the
personal PST. You can make Contacts folders for your personal contacts.

File, New, Outlook Data file to add a new pst.
File, New, folder to add a new folder.

Use separate mail profiles, one for work and one for personal.

Please excuse me for jumping in here (I am new to this so,let me know if
this is improper protocol), but I have a similar issue; although for
different purposes. I, too, would like either separate pst file or
additiona; Contact list but I would like to somehow link? them to each other
so that when I update a contact in one list; it will update the same contact
in another list? Is this possible.

Actually, in my case, I want a group of Contacts to export to my BlackBerry
without exporting ALL my Contacts. I have made a Contact group for my
BlackBerry but it is cumbersome when making a change to a Contact. With my
limited knowledge, it seems to me that if I change, say a phone number in
Contact group A, I would also have to update it manually in Contact group B.
Somehow linking the two would be handy. Any thoughts?

Thanks, Ken
