MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / January 2008Duplicate email addresses within contact
I have searched and can't find an answer to this question. I have quite a few contacts that have duplicate email addresses within the contact, i.e. "david@msn.com" is listed as email1, email2 and email3. I've found many utilities to delete duplicate contacts but nothing to delete duplicate emails "within" a contact. Can anyone help me with this one? How did you manage to create Contacts like that? Outlook doesn't do it. End users do. Tell us the steps to repro.

Can anyone help me with this one? The short version of a long story is I had some synchronization issues with my Blackberry. It duplicated email addresses somehow, and I've not yet completely figured out that issue; but I do want to try to eliminate the duplicates in the easiest way possible, rather than go through all my contacts individually. > How did you manage to create Contacts like that?

A tool here might help: http://www.slipstick.com/addins/contacts_dups.asp SignatureBrian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] Brian, Thanks for the link. it looks to me like the listed utilities are all of the variety that look for duplicate contacts, not duplicate information within a contact file (which is my issue). > > The short version of a long story is I had some synchronization > > issues with my Blackberry.

You'll have to tell me what you think the difference is. In Outlook, there is no such thing as a "contact file". SignatureBrian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] Just a confusing choice of words in terms of "contact file" versus contact "entry/record/item" etc. Question re duplicates is in reference to Email1Address/Email2Address/Email3Address fields within a single contact item.

At the risk of providing only a "teaser response" at this time - we should have a solution that addresses your issue, that being duplicate email addresses within the 3 standard email addresses in a single contact (along with slew of other features related to things such as FileAs, EmailDisplayNames, company & domain name changes etc) within the next few weeks (if not sooner - no exact release date has been set yet so please don't ask). It will be released publicly as part of a new utility product. The other item that you may find appealing is that the feature your looking for will be available as part of the "free" offering. Feel free to send a msg to "support AT contactgenie.com" asking to be put on the beta list if you're interested and you'll be notified accordingly.

Karl, Thanks for your response...I'll send an email in for the beta option. sounds like it might serve my purposes... > At the risk of providing only a "teaser response" at this time - we should > have a solution that addresses your issue, that being duplicate email [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > > delete > > duplicate emails "within" a contact.
