Importing contacts by CSV

You can import your address books (from Outlook, Hotmail, Yahoo!, orkut, and other services) into Gmail. Importing your contacts isn't difficult. To get started, follow these steps:

1. First, you'll need to format your contacts as a CSV file -- often times, address books exported from other mail providers are already formatted as CSV files. You can also create your own CSV file or save an excel file as a CSV.
2. Once you have a CSV file with all your contacts' information, import the file and transfer your contacts to Gmail by clicking on "More Actions" button on the contacts page, then click on "Import".

Note that you can only import up to 3,000 contacts at a time. If you have more than 3,000 contacts, you'll need to create multiple CSV files to upload.

At the left of the Gmail client window there is a red button that says "compose". Above this, in red text is the word "Gmail". Click on that "Gmail" and you will see a dropdown with "contacts" in it. Select contacts and the page for managing your contacts will appear. The red button will now say "New Contact". Use this to create your new contact.
