Sharing Contacts on Enhanced account?

Fuzzy Logic · 2 Jul 2018, 04:41 AM

I have an Enhanced account, and I'm trying to share my contacts with my wife's separate Enhanced account. The Fastmail help page tells me there is a "share contact" box, but I don't have one. Do I need a business account for this? Thanks for any suggestions.

For a shared calendar, accounts must be under the same master account. I do not know if there is a mechanism for combining existing legacy enhanced accounts I suspect not, but suggest you initiate a support ticket, explaining the situation, and asking if it is possible.

Thanks for the reply. I'll ask them.

Fastmail wants me to upgrade to one of their new accounts. Probably easier to just export my Contacts, then import them into my wife's Contacts and edit the ones she doesn't need.

But if import my Contacts into hers, will her existing ones get overwritten?

Thanks.

No, the existing contacts will remain. However, she will likely end up with some duplicate contacts that will need to be manually resolved.
