Will transferring email contacts from one account to another remove them from the original account?

If I start a new email account, how do I move all of my contacts to the new one?

• I just began a new email account, but I don't want to retype all of my contacts on my old oneand put it on my new one. I can't copy and paste either (tried), unless I'm not doing it right. I just can't figure it out.
