+ <title>Combine and separate contacts</title>
+ <p>
+ If one, or more, of your contacts has multiple accounts with different
+ messaging services, you can combine these contacts into a single one.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ The resulting contact is called a <em>meta-contact</em>: a contact composed
+ from different single contacts.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ If you have a Jane Smith contact that is using three different messaging
+ services like:
+ </p>
+ <list>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ janes@facebook
+ </p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ jane.smith@gmail
+ </p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ jane_smith@hotmail
+ </p>
+ </item>
+ </list>
+ <p>
+ You can combine these contacts into a single Jane Smith one.

+ <steps>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ From the <gui>Contact List</gui> window, right-click one of the contact
+ that has different accounts, and select
+ <gui style="menuitem">Link Contacts...</gui>.
+ </p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ From the left pane in the <gui>Link Contacts</gui> window,
+ select the contacts you want to combine.

+ <p>
+ Click <gui style="button">Link</gui>.
+ </p>
+ </item>
+ </steps>
+ <note>
+ <p>
+ When a meta-contact has been created, the default contact that will be used
+ to have a conversation with when you double-click on it, is the last contact
+ you select to link from the <gui>Link Contacts</gui> window.
