Quite sometime back we had told you how to remove duplicate contacts in Windows Live Hotmail [1] and removing duplicate contacts in Yahoo Mail [2], back then Gmail [3] did not have the ability to remove duplicate contacts.
However, there was an announcement [4] at the Gmail Blog today, where they introduced a new feature to delete duplicate contacts from your Gmail contacts list.
Removing Duplicate Contacts in Gmail
To remove duplicate contacts from Gmail, follow the steps given below.
Step 1: Login to Gmail and click on the contacts link in the sidebar. You can also load the standalone Gmail contacts page [5].
Step 2: Click on the Find duplicate buttons in the right hand pane.
Step 3: Once you click on the button, Gmail will scan your contacts for duplicates and display it to you. You can choose the contacts and decide to merge them into a single one, thus cleaning up the duplicate contacts from your Gmail account.
This can come in pretty handy if you use your Gmail contacts as the base contacts and sync it with Outlook [6] or your mobile phone.
