DupeDeDupe – remove duplicate contacts

It\'s is possible that the information within this article is now out of date or updated.

 Paul Paul over at MoDaCo has a neat little application for you if you are plagued with duplicate entries in your Outlook contact list.  

It is an EXE only (copy to your device and run), which has a basic GUI which allows you to scan for duplicates, and then choose (after being told your duplicate count) whether to remove them. Contacts are compared based on ‘File As’, field, ‘Email’ field and ‘Home / Work / Mobile’ phone fields. If all those fields match, it’s deemed a duplicate.

Paul said it scans his 200+ contacts in under 2 seconds so this might be something you want to download and try if you have duplicates appearing on your device.

Now available by request in CAB form with AppToDate support without registration required for download: http://www.apptodate.org/dupededupe.cab

    Everything I've tried is too loose in what it deems a duplicate to be.
    I have duplicate Outlook and Live contacts and the Outlook contacts often have notes. The notes aren't compared and so data might be lost.
    SKTools and Pocket Mechanic do much the same, with Pocket Mechanic being less aggressive in my experience.

    There is no executable file in this download.

    Thanks for the info Jack. WIS, the makers of Pocket Informant also make a set of tools for this and others having to do with the PIM DB's
