I have contacts in 3 email accounts.  I would like to combine or copy one
account with or to another

Your post makes no sense.
What do email accounts have to do with Contacts? You can use as many email
accounts in an Outlook profile as you want--all with the same Contacts.

I have 2 different email accounts each with a different Contacts list.  So
when I go into Contacts I can chose from one of the following:   Contacts,
Contacts for email1@msn.com or Contacts for email2@msn.com.  I would like to
combine some of the contacts for email1 with the general Contacts file.  Hope
that clears things up a bit

Explain your configuration more clearly. Are you sure you're even talking
about Outlook here? If so what version?
You can place several email accounts in a single Outlook profile. All will
use the same Contacts. Define what you mean by email account. Perhaps that
is the term that is confusing us.

Yes I am talking about Outlook.  I am running Outlook 2003.  When I open
contacts, in the left column are the 3 contact lists that are in "My
Contacts"  Specifically, it gives me the contacts in both of my msn
mailboxes, in addition to a general Contacts list.  Below that I have the
option of opening "shared contacts"  
I have 2 email addresses on my MSN account.  I can view my MSN and Verizon
messages in Outlook

We still need a more complete description of your setup. How did you create
this profile? What mail account types are these?
Outlook does not create separate Contact Folders normally. Are you trying to
Use Outlook only for hotmail accounts? That would have been important to
know. If so, I'll let someone else answer. I don't use Outlook for hotmail.
