I have a list of email addresses I want to add to a new address book. How do I make them go to a specific address book?

The list is in the To: portion of an email I received. I can highlight each address and copy it to my "All address books" list, then I have to move it to a new address book I created for this list. Can I make the "copy" go directly to this new address book, or do I have to put them in All and then move each one?

Almost. First click the star at the end of an email addresses in the To: portion of the message. A yellow star indicates the address has been added to your Personal Address Book.

Then click the (yellow) star again, and pick the desired address book from the drop-down menu.

You can do it all in one step, or create a mailing list, with the MoreFunctionsForAddressBook add-on. Right-click any recipient in the Header Pane and select the desired option (see picture).
