Export EMail Addresses from GMail and Import into Outlook

Gmail now offers an export feature. This should help one get their addresses out of gmail and into outlook.


GMail now offers export. So once you go GMail, you can easily go back to another email service if you wish. I am going to walk you through exporting out of gmail and into outlook.

Export from Gmail:

    1. Open your browser and log into Gmail
    2. Click Contacts from the left column menu
    3. Click Export (on the right side of the screen at the top)
    4. Click Outlook CSV (for import into Outlook clients)
    5. Click Export Contacts
    6. Click Save from the dialog box
    7. Browse where you want it, and click Save

Import into Outlook:

    1. Open Outlook
    2. Click the File menu
    3. Click Import and Export
    4. Select Import from another program or file
    5. Select Comma Seperated Values (Windows)
    6. Click Next
    7. Browse to the file you want
    8. Select if you want duplicates or not
    9. Click Next
    10. Select your Contacts Folder
    11. Click Next and Finish

    Great, thanks!
    It all worked good, except that I have hungarian Outlokk, so I had to match the CVS field names(which are created english by gmail) to the Outlook contact attributes names(which are hungarian) manually after step 10.

    Is there a limit on the number of email addresses, my CSV file seems to stop at 10,000, and I know I have more than that

    If you just want your email addresses out in a list, I used ‘gme’, its really hard to find but belive its on a site called starbanana com. They charge (im nothing to do with em). It worked on my google app a/c so though it might help ya out.
