đź“’ Managing Your Contacts with Mailbird

Mailbird’s Contacts App makes managing your contact list simple and efficient. One frequently used feature is the ability to merge contacts, helping you keep your address book clean and organized. Unlike some apps, Mailbird allows you to merge more than two contacts at once, offering greater flexibility.

🔄 What Happens When You Merge Contacts

Merging contacts means combining the details of multiple contacts into a single unified entry. This process ensures that all relevant information from each contact is preserved in one place.

⚠️ Important: Merging contacts is permanent and cannot be undone. Be sure to review the contacts before merging to ensure it’s appropriate.

When merging contacts from different email accounts, Mailbird will also automatically link them. This includes contacts from Outlook accounts.
