Okay, if I go to those six contacts on my BB, then it says they are part of my 'contact list' for one of my email accounts.

I have three contact lists for my three email addresses - although I don't use these lists, it's just how it's somehow set up on my phone because of emailing syncing. I can't see any way of changing the contact list that someone belongs to.

and as far as I can tell I don't have numerous address books in Outlook... but I'm pretty new to it.

Thank for your help
