Export outlook 2010 contacts to Gmail

Problems with the Outlook 2010 started with not to support new and proprietary standard makes the user to feel enervated and the outcomes makes the user to export their outlook 2010 contacts to Gmail. As Gmail keeps on updating himself with new coming technologies.

Outlook is great if you are using exchange server but it is overkill for IMAP/POP email and does not have the ability to sync with most cloud email/contacts/calendar services. To overcome this situation they look to import all their contacts of Outlook 2010 to Gmail. Alternatively you can use the tutorial shared for syncing your contacts and calendar using Outlook.com.

HOW TO MAKE CONVERSION POSSIBLE?

There are some users who might want to export Outlook 2010 contacts to Gmail, but they stuck at the point and question begin to pop-up in their mind that how they can come up with the better solution to perform their conversion.

For those people I have discloses the methods with elaborative description.

Solution for this are of two types first one is Manual method (it’s a free, so many people will goanna like this), second solution is using the third party software. Each solution comes with the merit and demerit. It’s up to the user what they gonna like, here both methods are explain.

MANUAL Method

1. Open Outlook 2010 for Microsoft Windows

2. Select File followed by Options and click Advanced

3. In the Export section, click Export

4. In the Import and Export Wizard, select Export to a file and click Next

5. Select Comma Separated Values

6. Select your Contacts folder and click Next

7. Follow the instructions to export your contacts and save the CSV file to your desktop.

8. Now you can login to Gmail account and can import the csv file located at your desktop.

This manual method will help you to perform your conversion freely, but the originality is you can convert your all contacts one by one, limitation is only this if the user having Outlook contacts more than 1000 or say 500...it will become tiresome and make the user enervated.
