I have several distribution lists in Outlook 2003 that I need to move to Gmail. While transferring contacts in the main folder is fairly easy—all one does is export to CSV and import—it's not as easy with the distribution lists.
I can't (don't know how to) copy the contacts from the lists to the main contact folder so they can be "normal", and the "save as" options don't include a CSV. There are several of these to do, containing maybe ~100-200 contacts altogether, so I'd like something that's not very tedious.
Forgive me for the question, but does Gmail even support distribution lists? I know the Apps does, but standard Gmail? – None – 2011-01-30T19:51:05.990
@Rand, I don't really care about the lists (though Gmail lets you dump all the contacts you import into a group), just getting all the names and addresses out. – Nick T – 2011-01-30T20:00:03.943
Apparently I misread your question. After that clarification, it makes more sense now. I have a feeling (based on my "lock-in" experiences with Outlook) that you're going to have to do it manually. – None – 2011-01-30T20:02:12.490
