Question What's the best way to migrate from Google to Yahoo!?

I'm one of the many that never used Gmail prior to having the Pre. I've always been a hardcore Yahoo! Now that Yahoo is integrated with Palm's Synergy (with 1.3.1), I want to ditch my Google account. What is the best way to make the switch?

A) Do I wipe my Pre (WebOS Dr.)?
B) Do I delete my individual Google accounts in the preferences for Calender and Contacts?
C) What about the 'Partial Erase' and 'Full Erase' options in the Device Info?

I would appreciate everyone's opinion, and would like to know who else is going to make the move, or for that matter, keep both synergized.

I'm leaning towards starting fresh with WebOS Dr. What do you think?

Thanks

Delete the Google accounts first or they will reappear after you login to your Palm profile. But, you don't need to Doctor do do an erase, just removing the accounts will do it.

BE CAREFUL!!! IT DOES NOT SEEM THAT SYNERGY SUPPORTS TWO WAY SYNC WITH YAHOO!!! I would hold off on removing your google account until this is updated...

You dont have to delete anything. Just export all your contacts from gmail to yahoo and delete your gmail profile from the accounts setting. But be forewarned as i stated above...right now there doesn't seem to be two way syncing with yahoo yet...
