Hi Tone, This was before my time, but I think you are doing it right. As far as I remember, Android 1.5/6 did not support any kind of integration with Outlook. Whatever mechanism was used to import the Outlook contacts must have messed them up. On Android 1.5/6, when you were adding a contact, you were supposed to add it to the MyContacts group explicitly. So reading the MyContacts group should give you all _correctly_ imported contacts and filter out those automatically added by Gmail.
