Synchronize Gmail contacts with Outlook

You can download it from his home page. Please note that the free version only syncs Google contacts (root contact folder) and only one contact sync policy is enabled.
2) GO Contact Sync Mod
Manually updating your email accounts is usually a tedious task. GO Contacts Sync Mod helps you save those efforts by automatically synchronizing your Outlook email contacts with your Gmail address book (including images, categories, and notes). This standalone utility for Windows automatically detects accounts stored in Outlook and easily syncs them with Gmail. However, before that, you will need to enter your Gmail credentials (username and password). Once the connection is established, the synchronization process will begin.
When you enable the automatic synchronization feature, the program will start the task at a user-defined interval and the results will be displayed with a detailed log containing information about synchronized contact names. The limitations we encountered when using the application were at first, a less intuitive interface and, secondly, no support for Outlook Express.
