Cannot get OL 2003 to use contact list that I created

In the past, I have made a couple of contact lists and tried to make a couple
of distribution lists. I now want to get rid of all of those and start fresh.
I have a motorola cell phone and have used "phone tools" to make a new
outlook contact list . Outlook cannot find it I have gone into tools>email
accounts>add/remove directories and mostly got rid of unwanted lists. When i
use phone tools to try to create a new list, it still navigates to the old
(deleted?) directories.
If I choose "contacts" in the left pane of the UI I see the list that I
would like to use as my address book but cannot figure out how to tell OL to
do this.
Thanks for any help.

The term "contact list" has no specific meaning in Outlook. What do you mean
by it?
You create Contacts in a Contacts Folder in Outlook. You should never try to
create Outlook contacts via a third party synch program. If you have
questions about your synch program, direct them to whoever supports that
program.
