The account type has no bearing on whether or not you can make your contacts
appear in the address book. See this:

you'll need a new mail profile. See this:

your gmail contacts or existing contacts in outlook?

Gmail contacts can't connect to outlook - you need to import them to
outlook.

outlook contacts - make sure the contact folder is enabled as an address
book:
If you have Contacts in the Contacts folder but they are not accessible when
you click on the To button, check these settings:

Make sure the Contact folder is enabled as an email address book. Right
click the Contacts folder, choose Properties then Outlook Address Book. Is
the box to enable as email address book is checked?

If this is grayed out...

Go to Tools | Email Accounts, choose View or change existing directories or
address book. Is the Outlook Address Book present? If it isn't listed, add
it and close and restart Outlook. If it is listed, then remove it and close
then restart Outlook and repeat these steps to add it.

If you are using Outlook 2007 and the the checkbox is grayed, you'll need to
make a new profile as you can't add the Outlook Address Book service due to
a bug.
