Keeping your notes organized can be quite challenging when working with different communication and productivity tools. While Gmail doesn't provide any native support for importing notes from other programs, you can send your notes to Gmail via your email client. Your notes in Microsoft Outlook can be attached to an email message as an EML file format, which can be viewed in most Web browsers and text editors. It's also possible to send your Outlook notes to your Gmail account as text in the body of an email.
