Thank you Erin!! I did figure out how to import my contacts... problem is that I don't always add everyone to my contact list. I want to know how to send all my saved emails over to gmail!! Hope that add that feature!!

Ah ha! That would be a good feature to add. Have you written them an email to ask about it? Maybe that would help
