| I cannot seem to locate my "all contacts" group even though I'm told it exists when I try to create it. | gluc46 | 2/3/12 8:46 AM | Explain your issue in full detail here:I would like to consolidate all my contacts into one group and eliminate all other sub-groups. When I try to create an "all contacts" group, I'm told it already exists but I cannot find it! I'm trying to send a |

Try using a non-reserved name for your group such as Everybody. Then you can add all your Contacts to that Group, and remove them from other Groups you want to discard. |

The frustration I have had over the last hour looking for them and looking for an explanation in gmail support on how to find them is high! Question: Where are “All Contacts” located? How |
| Re: I cannot seem to locate my "all contacts" group even though I'm told it exists when I try to create it. | Pacer24 | 2/6/12 7:48 AM | From searching the Help Forums, I have located a ‘trick’ of using the space bar to place an empty space in the contact search window when doing a search to gain a back door into “All Contacts”. Amazing that we need ‘tricks’ and ‘back doors’ to mak |
| Re: I cannot seem to locate my "all contacts" group even though I'm told it exists when I try to create it. | wdurham | 2/8/12 4:22 AM | The newer Contact Manager does not show All Contacts. These are now split into My Contacts (people you have added specifically yourself), and Other Contacts (people GMail has auto-added for you.) You can go to the old manager here: https://www.goog |
| Re: I cannot seem to locate my "all contacts" group even though I'm told it exists when I try to create it. | Pacer24 | 2/8/12 7:51 AM | wdurham, Thank you for your reply. I appreciate all the help I can get. What I am really trying to find is a Google Contact list that contains all “my Google Contacts”, that I can use to merge duplicate contacts. The list you sent me does hav |
| Re: I cannot seem to locate my "all contacts" group even though I'm told it exists when I try to create it. | wdurham | 2/8/12 11:56 PM | If you want to find and merge duplicates, why not use the built in feature that does this for you? It will search all your contacts and put up a list of duplicates that it finds. You can uncheck/check those that should be merged and those that shou |
| Re: I cannot seem to locate my "all contacts" group even though I'm told it exists when I try to create it. | joeth | 4/14/12 10:08 PM | Picking up this discussion: Is it possible to disable Gmail's default assignment of contacts to groups and work with just a single list? My contacts are not that many (around 300) and it is a pointless waste of time to have to search through various |
| Re: I cannot seem to locate my "all contacts" group even though I'm told it exists when I try to create it. | wdurham | 4/15/12 1:41 AM | My Contacts *IS* GMail's default "master" list. Any contact you add yourself is automatically added to My Contacts, whether you use the New Contact button in the Contact Manager, or choose "Add to Contacts" when you have a message open in GMail.

| Re: I cannot seem to locate my "all contacts" group even though I'm told it exists when I try to create it. | joeth | 4/17/12 2:22 AM | Yeah well... thanks, but I still end up with my contacts in two buckets which are mutually exclusive instead of one. I know I can merge them manually, but why should I have to bother? It is an unnecessarily presumptuous and inflexible design but it |
| Re: I cannot seem to locate my "all contacts" group even though I'm told it exists when I try to create it. | wdurham | 4/17/12 5:40 AM | You don't actually need to live with it at all :-) Turn off GMail's automatic addition of addresses to Other Contacts, and all you will then have is addresses you have added yourself - and these automatically go to My Contacts. You'll just need to d |
