Anybody know a good utility to do this? (well even pay a few £ if necessary).  The std CSV file export gives an error at the Outlook end and even then I don't think it handles contact/distribution lists from memory and I've quite a few of them to copy over.
EDIT: I fixed the error in the CSV file so my request becomes - anybody know a good utility to export "contact label groups"? (to Outlook Contact groups)

EDIT2. I've worked out how to do it manually, but this is horrible.  I export individual groups 1 at a time from Gmail; import the contacts in outlook and create the group and move the contacts into the group.  Repeat for all the groups. Only at the end do I then export all the contacts.

    Hello,

    I know this is not the right place to ask this, but I wanted to ask a question- but I don't know where I can put the question- as in, how do I open a question on the forum to get help? I am logged in, I am used to the old system (as in the green and white screen old system!) and since it switched over became a bit of a lurker and didn't post so much. I now have a question I need help with but have no idea how I start a question/thread of my own!

    Navigate to the right section of the forum for your question - Then look up nearer the top for the "CREATE POST " button - pretty difficult to miss - so may be you are not really logged in ?

    Hmmm bob if not logged in then can't post the comment so I guess then yes jennieweb is logged in, but your explanation on the Create Post is spot on B)
