Google Contacts

Post by RonH »

Lady is deleting her gmail account and setting up a new one.
Will her Google Contacts link to the new account or will they be lost.

Brain should know this answer but its 'not my day :scratch: '

A Google account = a Gmail address.
So she should create the new account first and transfer the contacts before deleting the current account.
Best wishes,

She should export the contacts before deleting the account, and then import them into the new account.

Many of us have been experiencing intermittent problems. We don't know the cause, but we apologize for the inconvenience.

No apology needed Hans ... I just hope for your sakes that the solution is an easy fix.
