Export/Import G-Mail Contacts into one account?

[TheNiteHwk]

I know this is possible... but for the life of me cannot find how to do it now.

Here is my situation/question.

I have about 5 different g-mail accounts that I created over past few months for different purposes. All have different contact lists. What I would like to do now is combine all the contacts into one list on one account.

Any suggestions to make it easy without having to cut and paste and drag all night long?

Thanks in advance. TheNiteHwk

ou can quickly export your Gmail Contacts list into a CSV file. Here's how:

1. Log in to your Gmail account.
2. Click 'Contacts' along the left side of any Gmail page.
3. Click 'Export' in the upper-right corner of your Contacts list.
4. Select the format in which you'd like to export your contacts' information.
* Gmail CSV (for import into another Gmail account): formats your contacts' information so you can easily import it into another Gmail account.
o This option encodes your CSV file in Unicode/UTF-8.
* Outlook CSV (for import into Outlook clients, including Outlook Express): formats your contacts' information so you can easily import it into various versions of Microsoft Outlook.
o This option encodes your CSV file based on your language preferences, since Outlook doesn't accept Unicode files. When you import your contacts into Outlook, some entries may become garbled if they contain characters that aren't part of your language's character set.
5. Click 'Export Contacts.'
6. Select a location to save your file, and click 'OK.'

Depending on the requirements of the program to which you're importing your contacts, you can easily edit the Gmail CSV to fit your needs.

Ummmm...

OK.

Thanks. I tried that and for some reason can't seem to make it work. Does it make a difference if using Firefox?

Or is it that it just saves the file... and does not export direct to another g-mail account?

So if I save it to my desk top or doc file I still have to cut and paste it?

Maybe I should get some shut-eye and try again in the morning. <LOL>

Never tried it. I just cut and paste it from the online help.

I tried it with FF and it export it to my desktop.

I then imported back in from gmail.csv on the desktop. It seemed to work ok.

To import it you use the import function beside the export function on the right.

I figured it out.

I got it to work. Thanks.
