Googles emailing service Gmail has become popular around the world and therefore, wanting to import your own Gmail contacts into a robust contact manager such as the one included with Outlook 2007 becomes a common desire. This simple tutorial will show you how to do just that.

  1. In Gmails Inbox, click on Contacts in the left nav bar. Then select Export from the upper-right corner.

  2. In the next window, select Outlook’s CSV format and then click the Export button.

  3. Now from the File menu of Outlook 2007, choose Import/Export and then select Import from another program. Then select the file which you had earlier exported from your Gmail account. Choose the appropriate folder in Outlook to import your contacts into and click Finish.

  4. That’s it! Your Gmail contacts will now be a part of your Outlook contacts.

    Hallo,
    nach “Importieren aus anderen Programmen” musste ich “Kommagetrennte Werte (DOS)” noch auswählen. ;)

    Thanks for the nice tutorial but my contacts don’t show the first and last names in Outlook while in gmail they do. In Outlook I only see the e-mail addresses. I’ve tried fixing it with custom field mapping, it didn’t work and the fields were correct already. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

    There must be a way to import Gmail back into Outlook. Try signing up your Gmail account with Outlook using POP3
