Re: [Gmail-Users] Re: Contacts no longer available
Well, this should give everybody a good laugh this morning. I've been using Gmail since 2008, and I never knew about the very handy trick of clicking on the "To" line in a Gmail form. Of course it works - very quick and handy. What a revelation! As someone in a forum on another topic says,"You learn something new every day" - even if it's embarrassing.

Re: [Gmail-Users] Re: Contacts no longer available
Marco, did you try selecting Contacts in that menu? My menu looks like that too, but selecting Contacts just gives you only a pop-up window telling you that Contacts has moved, and where to find it now. How are you not able to use contacts within Gmail? If I'm composing a > message I click the 'To' and am able to select contacts. > Indeed, one wonders why Google made Contacts no longer within Gmail itself. Fortunately, you can use two "products" simultaneously. The "Contacts" that you get when clicking on "To:" is just an abbreviated menu, for the moment, not the full Contacts application. If I want to edit my Contacts, I have to do it in a separate product, not within Gmail. It's also possible that your Gmail and ours differ. I believe it is normal for Google to "roll out" their product changes in increments, not to everyone simultaneously.

Re: [Gmail-Users] Re: Contacts no longer available
Mine is still where it was. How are you not able to use contacts within Gmail? If I'm composing a message I click the 'To' and am able to select contacts.
