Set Google Contacts as default? [Solved]

Post by JcTcom »

Maybe I am not doing this correctly?

Using EssentialPIM Pro (Latest official version)

I have my regular IMAP e-mail address configured (A couple of them in fact) as well as my Google Gmail account.
I would like to use my GMail account for all contacts, Calendar, Task items.

When I create a new item of above it always defaults to the "Local" folders and not the Gmail folders.

How can I get it to default to Gmail account without having to change it each time I create a new item?

I don't want my "Gmail" account to be my default Email address though (In case that makes a difference).

Thank you.

Carl.

So is it not possible to set Google Contacts, Calender, Tasks as default in EssentialPIM?

If you do not require local accounts, you can safely delete them, leaving only your Google accounts. In this scenario, all new entries will default to the Google account. However, if you still need a local account, you can move it down in your account list and ensure that a calendar or folder from your Google account is selected when creating new items. By doing this, new items will be placed into your Google account. I hope this clarifies the situation.
Android version of EssentialPIM. Keep all your data in sync!

Thank you. I did not realize I could make a calendar account the default just by dragging it to the top of the list.
