As for the link going missing... I wish a Google cache would work. The contact thing is pretty interesting, thought I don’t think I’ll be using it much, especially if I can’t import my mail yet.

I'll admit I've mainly used it to mass-transfer contacts to and from my friends, but it should work okay for other programs supporting CSV. I suppose it won't be all that useful when Google adds the same functionality (hopefully soon), but it's something. PS. That google link seems to be dead now. Suspicious, eh?
