“The Gmail team recently released an Import Contacts feature that enables users to quickly transfer contact information to Gmail from an existing mail service whether it’s MSFT Outlook, Yahoo Mail, Orkut, and others. First, a user must save their existing contact information as a CSV file in a place on their hard drive where they can easily find it. By clicking through to the Contacts > Import Contacts links at the top right of the Gmail interface, users are then given the option to import/upload their contacts CSV file into Gmail. And voila! When contacts are imported, Gmail automatically fills-in addresses as a user types recipient names into the address field. That’s it for now, please try Import Contacts for yourself and let me know if you have any questions or need more information.”
