All I can suggest is that you try again in a few days as perhaps there may have been a glitch in Gmail. Gmail also suggests editing your CSV file - https://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=78229 Or try asking in the Gmail Help Discussion Group to see if anyone else has encountered your problem - http://groups.google.com/group/Gmail-Help-Discussion I honestly couldn’t tell you as I have never done the procedure from Thunderbird before.

222 contacts have been ignored because they didn’t have a name or email.

Al of the addresses in Thunderbird have both name and email address. Can you please tell me what I am doing wrong?

Thanks.

It seems that the Gmail import function has missed/ignored the address data. Any ideas? I have imported my outlook contacts using the method you described.
