synch gmail contacts to outlook

Question

synch gmail contacts and yahoo account contacts

to outlook

Answer 1

Hi, I'm John!

To help narrow down the issue:

1. Are you using Outlook New or Outlook Classic? Which Outlook version you are using?
2. Did you already add your Gmail and Yahoo accounts to Outlook, or are you only trying to import the contacts?

In many cases, the easiest way is to export contacts from Gmail and Yahoo as a CSV file, then import them into Outlook. "Import Gmail contacts into Outlook" https://support.microsoft.com/office/import-gmail-contacts-into-outlook-003be9d3-ccf7-4eea-be34-9501f6b38fbc

To use Gmail and Yahoo contacts in Outlook for Windows (classic), export contacts from each service to a CSV file, then import those CSV files into Outlook.

1. Export Gmail contacts to CSV

1. Sign in to Google Contacts.
2. In the left column, select More (or the menu with contact groups).
3. Choose the contact group or All Contacts.
4. Select Export.
5. Under Which contacts do you want to export, choose the group or All Contacts.
6. Under Which export format, select Outlook CSV (for importing into Outlook or another application).
7. Select Export and when prompted, choose Save.
8. Save the file (for example, contacts_gmail.csv) to a known location.

2. Import Gmail contacts CSV into Outlook (classic)

1. In Outlook, select File > Open & Export > Import/Export.
2. Choose Import from another program or file > Next.
3. Select Comma Separated Values (DOS) (or Comma Separated Values) > Next.
4. Select Browse, choose the Gmail CSV file saved earlier, and choose one of:
   • Replace duplicates with items imported
   • Allow duplicates to be created
   • Do not import duplicate items
5. Select Next.
6. In Select a destination folder, choose the Contacts folder under the Outlook account where the contacts should live > Next.
7. If needed, select Map Custom Fields to adjust how CSV columns map to Outlook contact fields.
8. Select Finish.

3. Export Yahoo contacts to CSV Use Yahoo’s export feature (per Yahoo help) to export contacts to a CSV file and save it locally (for example, contacts_yahoo.csv).

4. Import Yahoo contacts CSV into Outlook (classic) Repeat the same Outlook import steps as for Gmail:

1. File > Open & Export > Import/Export.
2. Import from another program or file > Next.
3. Comma Separated Values (DOS) > Next.
4. Browse to the Yahoo CSV file and choose the duplicate-handling option.
5. Next, select the appropriate Contacts folder.
6. Optionally use Map Custom Fields.
7. Finish.

After these steps, Outlook will contain contacts from both Gmail and Yahoo in the chosen Contacts folder(s).
