George, In the QIF import process, there is a step at which you can map the Quicken Accounts onto the GnuCash accounts. The Quicken Expense and Income categories should automatically be assigned as sub accounts of the GnuCash top level Income and Expense accounts. (https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v3/C/gnucash-help/trans-import.html). The Asset and Liability and any of the created accounts should be able to be renamed and/or reassigned at this point by double clicking on the rows to bring up an account selection dialog. The current documentation is not too expansive about this though. It has been rewritten recently but won't make it into the docs until v4.
The Account tab features can usually be accessed while you are in the middle of the import process and you can create new accounts from this even while the import is in process if you need to. The accounts can usually be readily reorganized/renamed after the importing as required. If you try to delete an account with transactions into it GnuCash will usually ask if you wish to reassign them to another account. Rather than hiding accounts in the longer term you could also reorganize the existing records into a new account structure that meets your current needs.
