A few months ago I grew tired of maintaining my own email server and moved everything to Google Apps. Recently, I’ve been using the webmail interface instead of Outlook. The thing I missed, however, was all of my contacts. It’s easy enough to import my Outlook contacts, but I wanted something smoother and more automated. …
