gmail2bbdb will import name and email from [[https://www.google.com/contacts/][Gmail contacts]] into BBDB file. So you can auto-complete email address in Emacs.

Please note the BBDB file only contains name and email address. I remove useless BBDB features to minimize the maintaining cost.

• Why

• Easy to use. Only one command.
• Robust. It has NO dependency.
• Long term support. I will maintain it in next 10 years.

• Install Download gmail2bbdb.el and place it somewhere (say ~/.emacs/lisp). Add below code into your .emacs: #+BEGIN_SRC lisp (add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/lisp/") (autoload 'gmail2bbdb-import-file "gmail2bbdb" nil t nil) #+END_SRC

• Usage

• Install [[https://melpa.org/#/bbdb][latest BBDB from melpa]]
• At [[https://www.google.com/contacts][Gmail contacts page]], click "More -> Export -> vCard format -> Export", the file "contacts.vcf" will be downloaded.
• Run command "M-x gmail2bbdb-import-file" and select contacts.vcf. "$HOME/.bbdb" will be created.

You can specify a different path of output file, #+BEGIN_SRC elisp (setq gmail2bbdb-bbdb-file "~/.emacs.d/.bbdb") #+END_SRC

You can specify the email excluded patterns. Email address matching one of the patterns will be excluded. #+BEGIN_SRC elisp (add-to-list 'gmail2bbdb-excluded-email-regex-list "[email protected]") #+END_SRC
