Contact/address list in GMail

[realladyat57]

A few days ago we lost our computer to a lightning storm and have had to purchase a new laptop with Windows 8. While my computer guy was able to recover a fair amount of data from the old hard drive, one thing I haven't been able to locate is the address book I kept in Outlook. About a year ago (or more) I was able to import the contacts into gmail when I got a gmail account. I know that these are on my phone--but I can't figure out where I can find them in gmail so I can develop a new contact list for my computer.

Any ideas? It may be something simple but my "old" mind sure as heck can't find them.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Thanks for all your help. I was able to download my contacts from gmail and import them into Outlook without a problem. I appreciated the step by step instructions. MaryAnne

Go into GMAIL contacts, click on MORE and select EXPORT. Select the radio button for CSV format for Outlook.

the outlook address book is part of the *.PST file (* being the name as in sample.pst) but suggest you use this google search

maybe this will also help.

Adding to the confusion is the refusal to use "contacts",rather the program is called "People"

Yeah, google is nutz 😉

On the Gmail website, under the Gmail logo in the upper left-hand corner it should say "Gmail" with a little down arrow after it. Click that and it should give you the option to view your Contacts.
