Deleting email and keeping contacts

[orange73]

Hi guys,

I need to delete a work email from my phone, as I left that job. I have 300+ contacts that are synced to that email (not by choice), is there a way for me to un-sync them? When I try to turn off "sync contacts" it warns me that it will delete all the contacts.

Thanks!

Nope, purchased on my own. IT connected my exchange email to the phone and it synched 300+ contacts and I don't want to lose them.

Connect your phone to a computer then export all your contacts to a file then delete the email account import the contacts to a new email account or another existing email account.
