No you will not lose your contacts, but you\u2019ll have to set up an email address that is not ISP-dependent. WCCT recommends setting up a gmail or Hotmail account. If you use an email client like Thunderbird, Microsoft Outlook or MacMail, your contacts are already in your client so you only have to transfer your email. The process is straight forward: \u2013 add your new email address to your email client, \u2013 copy the email messages from your ISP-dependent email address folders to the folders under your new email account, and \u2013 setup an automatic forward from your old email account so all your new email is delivered to your new email address. If you decide to join us at WCCT, we recommend converting to an ISP-independent email service before switching to WCCT.<\/p>\n
