I have both Microsoft Online and Gmail accounts, contacts synchronization is enabled on both of them.

I cannot seem to find a "default contact account" option, and whenever I create a new contact, it automatically goes into Microsoft Online account, but I would prefer to move them to Gmail account.

Is there a way to move contacts to another account, in z10?

Thanks!

I don't think there's a way to move them.
But defaults can be set in settings/accounts.

Hmmm. Under settings and accounts it only let's me set default email and default calendar. You sure it should allow default contacts as well?

Oh wow yeah you're right. There must not be a way to set a default :/ but shortsighted on BlackBerry's end there unless we're missing something.

Default seems to be locked on Local Contacts but...See my post... Contact List Problem? Fixed!

This won't move ones that are already added but will help you to put them in the correct list when you first add them to your contact app.

Hello

The problems is that every time a new contact is added from the device it is saved in every email account plus as a local contact. Then all the saved contacts are linked so at first glance there's one contact added. This is problematic for situations where the contact should be in only one email account, for example for people having an account for business and other for personal things.

My wife had this situation and the only workaround I could give her is to create 'shell' or 'empty' contacts entries so every time she needs to add a contact using the device she just edits the empty shell contact with real information. The shell contact is created directly in the email page (outlook.com, yahoo.com, gmail.com), not in the device. The shell contact will have a name like 'new yahoo 1' (or 'zznew yahoo 1' if you want to keep it all the way down in the contacts list). When the contact is edited in the device it doesn't create additional linked contacts in the other accounts. When the shell contacts run out (you can create several shell contacts) then you create a new bunch again.
This workaround is helpful if just need adding few contacts on the device every day.

Hope it works for you
