how do I export subcatagories of outook contacts

O

Outlook Novice

I am trying to export my contact to gmail. I have several thousand contacts
and use subcatagories extensively. I have tried to use the export function of
outlook but it only seems to allow one file at a time to be exported. I can
export each individual subcatagory and then import them to gmail but I was
hoping someone knows of a way to export the contact folder and all of its
subcaatagories at one time. Any advice would be apprecitated.

Post is unclear.
Define what you mean by subcatagories (sic).
State the format gmail needs.

Sorry, subfolders ? Gmail needs .csv(windows)

No. The Export function only allows exporting one folder at a time.
This is one of the reasons many people prefer to use Categories to group
Contacts rather than separate Contact subfolders. At least then you can
export your Contacts all in one step.
