My name is Cody Hayes, and if you're making it to my blog for the first time, you might not know that I'm an avid fan of Google products and services! At Mortgage Advisory Services, among other things, I work with individuals and companies (including independent loan officers and mortgage companies) to help them take advantage of amazing tools, just like Google Apps.
Google Apps is a great tool for business owners to administer e-mail, cut down on spam, and collaborate within their organization.
For those of you who are not business owners, but have recently purchased an android phone (T-Mobile G1™ with Google™, Motorola CLIQ™, T-Mobile® myTouch™ 3G, T-Mobile® myTouch™ 3G Slide, Samsung Behold® II, Verizon's Motorola Droid, or any other Android phone) you may have a need to export your data from Microsoft Outlook to your new Google Account (gmail, Google Calendar, Contacts etc.). For you folks, you will be happy to know that the Google Apps Migration for Microsoft Outlook® works with gmail accounts!
Do you know what this means for Android Users!!!
This is a link to download the migration tool: http://ow.ly/1VpMN
These are the instructions I followed when using the migration tool.
1. Download the tool and install on the computer which runs outlook: (http://ow.ly/1VpMN)
2. when the tool runs it will allow you to sign into g-mail, then select either a outlook profile, or specific PST file to migrate.
3. then the tool will ask which data you want to migrate. Choose from contacts, calendar, or e-mail. (I chose to do the migration for contacts only because I didn't want the conversion to take FOREVER), and I'm not sure If I want to catalog 6 GIGS of e-mail to my g-mail account.
4. Then press the migrate/start button and the software will migrate your data. PS - I was migrating non-microsoft exchange data.
5. There is a separate tool for syncing your calendar between Outlook/Google Calendar which essentially performs the calender portion of the migration, plus sync's your calendar data on an ongoing basis (Here's the link for the calendar sync:http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=98563 )
