How to create a "sub-folder" of a new list of email addresses under the primary folder "All Address Books"

How do I create a "sub-folder" of a new list of email addresses (e.g. Block email addresses) under the primary folder "All Address Books”?

I can only create a sub-folder under Personal Address Book or Collected Addresses (i.e. a Sub-Sub Folder under the primary folder "All Address Books". I would like to create a new list of email addresses to block emails using “Message Filters” but when I create the rule in the “Filter Rules” window “From” – “is in my address book” – “??????????”, the drop down options are only sub folders of the primary folder "All Address Books “ (i.e. Personal Address Book and Collected Addresses). There is no option to select a sub-folder under “Personal Address Book”.

Hence the reason for trying to create a sub-folder under the primary folder "All Address Books".

When I select “New List” tab in the “Address Book” window, the 2nd window (called Mailing List) which pops up only gives me options to add a new folder (i.e. Block email addresses) under “Personal Address Book” or “Collected Addresses” not the primary folder "All Address Books”.

Any advice would be appreciated.

You are trying to create an address book, not a mailing list.

File > New > Address book.
