You might want to go back to whatever you were using. Or take some
sedatives.
Might I suggest that next time you write that offline - delete it - and THEN
simply pose your question.

You could experiment with the Exporting functions first, and
look at the sample file that produces. And then that would
allow you to pass in new contact info if you want, via Import.

FAQ, Help are available. Search for ' GMAIL help'.
I got that Help link by clicking on a link on the search page.

"I compared it with an older account, implying that the older account still
exists (which it does)."

That old account - THAT's what I meant by GO BACK.
If they changed the website, new account procedure, then 'thy old way' does
not exist for a new account. You can 'go back to your other account' OR
'follow the new procedure'. It's not something you or I can change.

Twitter does the same thing - I created a new account and now I HAVE to
choose 5 people to follow. I later dropped them , but to get thru the
process I HAD to CHOOSE 5 existing twitter accounts, so I picked 5 names off
the screen.

I/you might not like it, but it's THEIR program not ours - we can elect to
not use it OR do it their way.

Why not send the contact list from the old account to the new account.

Maybe the new account allows constructing a message, based on
contact information contained in a received message ? Maybe
if they won't allow you to import a contact list, they'll allow you
to make a To: list from the contents of an existing message.
