There's the Address Book, a Contacts Folder, Personal Folder File (.pst),
Outlook Data File, Folder List......waaaay to many folders/files/places to
enter,organize and manage this data. All these different locations make it
difficult to synch complete Outlook info with PDA's. All I as a user want
to do is to be able to
1. add a new person to a general/main database. One central place where
everyone's info is entered and saved.
2. then be able to Copy that info into folders I create.
All the other functions of Outlook are great. Just simplify the
locations/language etc... to make it more user friendly.
Thanks.

It already is pretty simple: Forget about everything but your default Contacts folder. Just put all contacts there. They will be visible in the Address Book dialog and sync with your PDA.

You enter contacts in the Contacts folder, those with email addresses should
show up automatically in your address book when sending email & such.

The other terms you mention are just the file you store your data in (PST,
Outlook Data File) or the construct displaying all the folder (Folder List).
By nature I'd think you'd know to enter contacts in the Contacts folder but
I could be wrong.
