For more information stay with us until the end.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Hotmail<\/strong> is a free email client service that has been around since the mid-90&#8217;s. Tech giant Microsoft now owns all rights to Hotmail. Over 300 million users were later transferred to Microsoft Outlook using the same credentials. Hotmail has been discontinued, but users can still import Hotmail contacts into their Gmail.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On the other hand, <strong>Gmail<\/strong> is a brand that needs no introduction. Almost everyone has his Gmail account for primary purposes. Therefore, it is clear why transferring Hotmail to Gmail is the first choice of many Hotmail users.<\/p>\n<div class=\"card-header text-center font-weight-bold\"><strong>Table of Contents:<\/strong><\/div>\n<div class=\"card mb-5 bg-menu\">\n<div id=\"toc\" class=\"card-body collapse show\">\n<ul class=\"list-unstyled\">\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"#p1\">Possible Reasons<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#p2\">Bring Hotmail Contacts to Gmail<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#p8\">Three-Stage Approach for Contact Transfer<\/a>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"#p3\">Stage 1: Save Contacts to CSV<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#p4\">Stage 2: Change CSV to vCard<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#p5\">Stage 3: Import vCard File to Gmail<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#p6\">Last Word<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#p7\">FAQs<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">However, some users may be confused or don&#8217;t know how to import Hotmail contacts to their Gmail. To help you, here we present the latest method. But before that, let&#8217;s see why you need to move the Hotmail data file to Gmail.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Also Read: How to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcvita.com\/import\/excel-contacts-to-thunderbird\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Import Excel Contacts to Thunderbird?<\/a><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2 id=\"p1\"><b>Reason to Import Hotmail Contacts to Gmail<\/b><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Everyone has different reasons for importing Hotmail contacts to Gmail along with emails, calendars, etc. Some of the most important causes are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">One major advantage that users get once they move Hotmail contacts to Gmail is the ability to bulk delete without limitation. This is because Hotmail (more specifically, Outlook) restricts the mass removal of accounts to 10 at a time. This increases the time it takes to clear out contacts that are no longer required.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcvita.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/outlook-disable-delete-button.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-15282\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pcvita.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/outlook-disable-delete-button.gif\" alt=\"Outlook Disables Delete Button\" width=\"1626\" height=\"870\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<strong>Note:<\/strong> You can get around this limitation in Outlook by turning off the New Contacts button.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Inside the Gmail contact screen, more contacts are visible at a single glance. It can be increased further by toggling the compact view. Whereas, in the Hotmail contacts screen, users have to scroll more to get to the person they wish to contact.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcvita.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/google-compact.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-15302\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pcvita.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/google-compact.png\" alt=\"Compact Contact Viewing\" width=\"1360\" height=\"728\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Google offers<\/strong> a more <strong>minimalistic look<\/strong> with fewer options cluttering the screen, whereas <strong>Microsft<\/strong> tries to <strong>cram all<\/strong> available <strong>information<\/strong> on a single screen. For devices with less screen space, this becomes quite cumbersome.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Another big drawback of not knowing how to transfer contacts from Hotmail to Gmail is the <strong>struggle with duplicate contacts<\/strong>. On one hand, <strong>Gmail<\/strong> can <strong>automatically merge duplicate<\/strong> contacts, but <strong>Outlook<\/strong> (where most Hotmail accounts come from) <strong>can&#8217;t<\/strong>.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcvita.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/google-merge-and-fix.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-15283\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pcvita.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/google-merge-and-fix.png\" alt=\"Google Automatically Detects Duplicates\" width=\"1360\" height=\"728\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nAs a result, those who remain on <strong>Hotmail have to manually rebuild the contact list<\/strong> from scratch.

Here is a list of problems that other users have faced during this direct transfer of Hotmail contacts to Gmail.<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Google itself tells you that this method is <strong>time-consuming<\/strong>. So much so that you may have to<strong> wait almost 2 days<\/strong> to access your contacts.<\/li>\n<li>If you misplaced or <strong>don&#8217;t remember the Hotmail password<\/strong> (as most of us rely on autologin), then you might <strong>not be able to even use this method<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Moreover, no amount of troubleshooting is enough to give a 100 % guarantee that this method will work the next time you attempt it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So if you don\u2019t want to wait or lack access to the Hotmail credentials, you can skip this method and move on to the next one which is a three stage approach.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So it is better to generate a contact CSV file by exporting the entire list from the Hotmail account. This can be done easily with the help of the Outlook web or desktop portal on which your Hotmail account is configured. If you still don&#8217;t know, then follow the instructions that are given below.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"p3\"><b>Stage 1: Export Hotmail Contacts to CSV Format<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Open Your\u00a0 <strong>Web<\/strong> <strong>browser<\/strong> &amp; <strong>sign<\/strong> in to <strong>Hotmail<\/strong><strong>.<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<li>After that <strong>click<\/strong> on the\u00a0<b>People <\/b><strong>icon<\/strong> to open the <strong>All Contacts<\/strong> tabs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-13730\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pcvita.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/hotmail2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"387\" height=\"408\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Click the <strong>Manage Contacts<\/strong> <strong>drop-down<\/strong> menu and select <strong>Export Contacts Options<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-13731\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pcvita.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/gmail6.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"486\" height=\"308\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>In the Export Contacts window, click <strong>Export<\/strong> <strong>Contacts<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-13732\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pcvita.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/hotmail4.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"637\" height=\"440\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>After uploading the file, click Export to <strong>Export CSV<\/strong> contacts file.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Skip CSV Upload During Hotmail to Gmail Contact Transfer<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You might ask that if there is an option to upload the CSV, then why not use it? To get an answer, look at these points. Users may struggle with one of the following errors during the direct addition of CSV data to Gmail\u2019s contact list.<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Extra fields.<\/li>\n<li>Missing Fields<\/li>\n<li>Incompatible Headers.<\/li>\n<li>Large\/Small Size.<\/li>\n<li>Wrong Encoding.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When we do a one-on-one comparison of the CSV file we get out of the Hotmail account with the CSV file acceptable in Gmail, we can see there are quite a few differences in column order and header name. And if you lack the necessary tools, editing this CSV can be cumbersome.<br \/>\nThere may be other differences that are not visible directly and may end up failing the import. So why take chances? Moreover, all these reasons call for a better solution.<br \/>\nThat is to use the default way of storing contact information, in other words, a VCF file. Don&#8217;t worry, you do not have to make the vCard on your own, as we have a one-shot solution waiting just for such a scenario.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"p4\"><strong>Stage 2: Automatic Solution to Import Hotmail Contacts to Gmail<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcvita.com\/excel-contacts-to-vcf.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>XLS Contact to VCF Converter<\/strong><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is one Software that you can use to perform the conversion in the right way.
