No, not really. You can assign different categories to different sets of
contacts, and thus display the Address Book for, say, category "John Doe" or
category "Jane Doe".

That's what I suspected. Thanks, Allen.

You can also make Custom Views using various criteria. I'm not entirely sure
what Ed means by "under one account name", but this, for example, is
possible:

File/New/Custom View

Name: "SomeDomain Account"

Item Types: ˆ Contacts [only]

Criteria:

<Email address> <Contains> <somedomain.com>

A zillion other criteria are possible. If Item Types is restricted to
Contacts, then the custom view will be found in the Address Book area under
"Address Book Views" in the left panel, and so effectively is like a
separate address book. It's dynamic, too: if you add a new contact which
meet the criteria, you'll find it in that view automatically.
