To import Gmail contacts into Outlook.
The combination of Outlook 2010 and Gmail seems to be a good one.
Outlook 2010 does a great job of synchronising with my Gmail account. It automatically configures the settings correctly when given login credentials, mirrors the folder structure of gmail. It also gets past the restrictions on outbound mail when I am on someone else's ISP connection which had previously rendered Outlook useless.
Among other things I have done through my company Kandy Solutions is to create custom Outlook add-ins, and to implement other solutions using MS Offices, such as the automation of Word and Excel, creating automatic form letters based on database entries.
