To get over your problem where you have all your contacts in Microsoft Outlook and you want them in Gmail as well, there is a way to have all your Microsoft Outlook Contacts in Gmail in just few minutes.

Exporting Contacts from Microsoft Outlook.

Start by moving your Outlook contacts to Gmail. In Outlook 2003 and 2007,

click File > Import and Export, select > Export to a file, > click Next,

Choose either comma-separated value option, and click Next again. Browse to and select your Contacts folder, click Next again, choose the Browse button, pick a location for the file, give it a name with the .csv extension, click OK, and click Next once more. Verify the action and click Finish.

Import Contacts in to Gmail.

After the file-export finishes, open Gmail, click Contacts on the left, and choose Import at the top right. Click Browse and navigate to and select the file you just exported. You can create a new group for the contacts by choosing > Also add these imported contacts to" before you click Import. You’ll be prompted to give the group a name.

Select the .csv file you exported from Outlook to import your contacts to Gmail. Once the file is imported, you’ll see a summary indicating the number of contacts added, merged, or ignored because they were duplicates. Click OK to return to your list of contacts.

Now turn the process around by moving your Gmail contacts to Outlook. On the Gmail Contacts page, click Export in the top right, choose to export just your contacts or your contacts and Gmail > suggested contacts, select > Outlook > CSV format (for importing into Outlook or other applications),> and click the Export button.
