Get a contact synchronization program (which you do need since you're not using webmail, and Outlook doesn't directly sync with Gmail) like Go Contact Sync Mod. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 20H2, Build 19042 To think is to differ. |

You can export your contacts from Outlook and import them into Gmail.
To export your contacts:
After exporting your contacts, visit Gmail on the web.
The Import dialog opens. Navigate to the “Select file” button and activate it. The Windows open file dialog opens.
Navigate the dialog to the Outlook Contacts file. And activate the Open button. Focus returns to the small Import dialog. ‘Activate the “Import” button to import your Outlook Contacts.
Close the Contacts tab to return to Gmail.

I don't know, Cristóbal. When I open my addressbook and begin to do a search, the name only check box is always what is selected by default. Have you tried pressing the ENTER key on the name only check box once it is selected?

While a contact will be included in the recently used autocomplete list if you've recently used them (or even not so recently) there is no automatic creation of a Contact from an e-mail address entered in the To/CC/BCC fields under the typical default setup. There may be a way to have Outlook prompt you as to whether you might want to create one for a new, unknown address, but if so, I don't know how to turn that on. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 20H2, Build 19042 To think is to differ. |

Re: question about importing with gmail
Contacts is completely separate from email messages, presuming you're using the import function in the contacts app.
And what gets imported is either all contacts (most cases) if you're not doing any pre-filtering, or the contents of a contacts file you've exported and tweaked. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 20H2, Build 19042 To think is to differ. |

The problem is that the user has a completely inaccurate idea of how autocomplete works, period. If they believe that typing first and last initial of an individual that is already in autocomplete will find them, unless they so happen to use that setup in front of their email address as the name, they're mistaken, and they've been mistaken for as long as I can remember.

I have a definitive answer from someone who is far more expert in Outlook than I am, and he confirms my thesis (and my frustration). I'll quote his reply and then give a direct link to the topic on Technibble for those who may wish to read through the entire thing: --------- Autocomplete works off its own list, and is populated by what was put into the To box previously. It doesn't work off your address book, if you want the address book you click the "to" label. And no, you cannot have contacts be in the "recent" list without use, and it won't ever suggest based on a contact. Which is kind of dumb... but short lived as a problem because use of either Teams or Outlook sorts out autocomplete automatically very quickly. --------- Outlook (2016 & Later) & email addressing-- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 20H2, Build 19042 To think is to differ. |
