  1. Can Microsoft Have the ability to close my Gmail account???


    I just got this email in my primary Gmail account. It says that’s they’re gonna close my gmail account due to inactivity on Jan 5th, 2024. But I recognize the email *** Email address is removed for privacy *** because I would sign in from different devices. Because Gmails and Microsoft are completely different platform, Microsoft shouldn’t have the ability to close my Gmail account, right?? So Is this a spam?? Should I just ignore it?Thanks.

    :)

  3. Deleting Microsoft account

    Hi Gene,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    We understand your concern. However, the prompt might be because as you have mentioned that you have not logged in to the account for long period and we would need some information regarding the issue.



    1. Could you please let us know where exactly you are getting the error message?
    2. Are you using Microsoft or local account to login to Windows?
    3. If Microsoft account, may I know which Microsoft account are you using to login to Windows

    Meanwhile, we would suggest you to follow the steps mentioned below to unlink your Microsoft business account from Gmail Microsoft account (If Microsoft Business account is linked to Gmail account).



    1. Log on to primary
      Microsoft account
      (Gmail).
    2. Go to Your Info > Contact Info.
    3. Click on Manage email address.
    4. Then try removing secondary account.

    If you are trying to remove the account from the device, we would suggest you to refer

    To close your account
    under the section
    To remove an email account
    and To remove an account used by apps and check if it helps.





    Regards.

    GUIDE:How to transfer contacts from Microsoft Outlook to Gmail

    I'm sitting here in the office, its the end of the year in the school system, and several employees transferring to alternative counties. With this it brings loads of transferring contacts to take with them from their company phone. Well, this one in particular sparked a guide idea. So here it is, How to transfer Outlook contacts to your Gmail account.


    Step 1: Sign in to your outlook account.
    step 2 In the top left hand corner click File > Import/Export > Export to file > Browse to desired place to save your file > export. Be sure you export the file as .csv (comma separated values)
    Step 3 Log into your Gmail account
    Step 4 Select 'Contacts' In the subsection you will see a 'Import' button on the right-hand side. Click it.
    Step 5 Browse to the location where you saved it > Open it > Click Import.



    I would have provided pictures, but I use neither Outlook or Gmail. Hope someone somewhere gets some use from this. *Toast :toast:
