[Trainer-Talk] Importing Distribution List from Gmail Contacts into Outlook

[Christopher Nusbaum]

Hi Brian:

Thanks for the information. I should mention here that this PC is running
Windows 10 and I'm using the Outlook desktop app. Regardless, it seems most
efficient to copy and paste a list of email addresses out of a spreadsheet
or text document if I want to use Outlook, which I very much do. While I
agree with you that Gmail handles labels and groups gracefully, its standard
view is clunky at best.

Chris

Everything I've been able to find indicates that this cannot be done, and
some of it is as recent as 1 year ago.

It's easy to import a CSV file of contacts (kinda, I hate the column mapping
bit) into Outlook Contacts or Address Book, but not into a specific Contact
Group.  These have to be reconstructed after the importation of the
contacts, and that is a PITA with a screen reader.

Gmail handles all this much more gracefully, in my opinion, including the
creation of labels for groups of contacts (which are the functional
equivalent of a Contact Group under Outlook).
