Sorry, Marko. I misspelled your name. Even when I try being careful, I get it wrong. I guess that's what happens with age!

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.

Re: [Gmail-Users] Re: Contacts no longer available
I don't know how reliable Android Police are considered, But according to them, " Eight weeks after the official rollout announcement in July, all users will be automatically updated to the new Gmail, though they'll be able to opt out for another four weeks. But 12 weeks after the new UI is officially announced, all users will be migrated to it with no option to opt out. It's a good thing that the new UI isn't *too* controversial." https://www.androidpolice.com/2018/06/04/new-gmail-interface-roll-everyone-july/ On Tue, Jul 10, 2018 at 2:07 PM Andy wrote: > If you don't like the new interface, why not just switch back? >> > > I still use the old interface (if you can call it that, since there have > been a few), and I don't like some of the changes they have made to it, > without asking us or giving us an option to go back. > > Contacts disappeared from Gmail, and you can't get it back.

Contacts disappeared from Gmail, and you can't get it back. It is not there in either "old" or "new" interface. It is moved to a separate product. (Why? Beats me, but I'm a dinosaur because I use email, and not so much anything else which might need contacts.) If you think you can always "go back to classic Gmail", you might be smoking something. Sooner or later (more likely sooner), I think that option will disappear and everyone will be forced to use either only the "new Gmail", or not Gmail.

Re: [Gmail-Users] Re: Contacts no longer available
Hi Karina We are not Google. We are Gmail users, as the group name and description states. If you don't like the new interface, why not just switch back?

Re: [Gmail-Users] Re: Contacts no longer available
Fortunately, I saved the direct URL for my contacts because... well, because I'm OCD. And he lasg time I used it, with the "New Gmail", it still worked. Much shorter than what I am hearing is the "correct" way. The URL is contacts.google.com . At least now I know it wasn't left out, like I thought at first...
