I would like to add gmail to mail mail application, but I do not want to give google access to my contacts. Is this achievable? Or is there any other app that can do that. So far I have not found any - when I deny access to my contacts none of the gmail apps work. Thank you Emanuel

You can also set up gmail as a general email account.

yes you can, go to settings -> accounts -> choose the google account template and create an account, you have the option to choose what to synchronise, i.e calendars/contacts/email

In the native contacts app, there is the option to choose google contacts when opening the import assistant. That was my way to go. I had the contacts at outlook.com from a Windows 10 Mobile device used before (brilliant sync --> saved new contacts on the phone, saved some meetings in the mobile calender - logged in to my (Windows) Computer - everything already there - all out of the box, no need of extra services, no need of extra Apps, no need of Google).
I had to export the contacts - import them to google - and go from there. Strange possibility for a system which do not want to relate with Google Services...
The problem - every now and then all my contacts are gone --> empty contacts list on the device (XA2) --> minutes, hours, days later they are back on the device without me doing anything... But at least I have my contacts synced somewhere...
Maybe it would help to only sync the contacts from Google to the Device only one way, but I want to have my contacs synced (-:
