First you should know what the protected keyword means

You have to use your class name to access static fields:
YourClassName.ContactDetailFax.Add(ContactDetailFax);

Change the name - it is confused because it finds the class definition of that name before it looks for the static variable declaration:

C#

    ...
    contactDetailEmail.Add(new ContactDetailEmail());
    contactDetailFax.Add(new ContactDetailFax());
    }
protected static List<ContactDetailEmail> contactDetailEmail = new List<ContactDetailEmail>();
protected static List<ContactDetailFax> contactDetailFax = new List<ContactDetailFax>();
