I hate mobile phones....

This thread is making me nervous...

I have all my contacts in gmail.

I was setting up a smartphone for my mother and stupidly thought that quick way to import phones numbers would be to link mums phone to my gmail, get all family numbers and delete the ones she doesn't need. Thankfully gmail sync didn't like this and stopped me as these numbers would have been deleted from my gmail account, not just from her phone.

So plan B . remove gmail account from HER phone, but when I click on remove account button i get the following warning message
Remove account
Do you really want to delete this account? Deleting it will also delete all its messages, contacts and other data from the phone

To me remove and delete are not the same thing but this message is implying they are and it means delete

Yep, be careful, I simply believed I was removing an email addy and everything went and its a pain getting them all back. I'm slowly getting their with the help of the guys on here but I'm not tech savvy so its a bit confusing with all the jargon and stuff

To me remove and delete are not the same thing. But your experience has made
me wary
