After importing Gmail contacts to Outlook, check the following to ensure a successful and accurate migration:

1. Confirm that all contacts appear in the Outlook Contacts folder and that the total count matches your expectations.
2. Spot-check several contacts for correct names, email addresses, phone numbers, and any custom fields to verify data accuracy.
3. Look for duplicates or missing information and use Outlook’s built-in duplicate finder to merge or remove redundant entries.
4. Ensure special characters (like accents or non-English names) display correctly, as encoding issues can cause display problems.
5. If you used a CSV file, open it in Excel and compare a few entries with your Outlook contacts to spot any discrepancies.
6. Verify that the import process didn’t miss any groups or labels if those were part of your original Gmail contacts.

Checking these points helps maintain data integrity and ensures your Outlook contacts are complete and accurate after migration.
