Hi,

I have this problem with one particulat contact on my contacts list, every time I delete it using the "Clean up duplicate" function on hotmail, it comes back doubled.

At present I have this contact repeated 73 times and I'm worried if I delete it again it will come back as 140!

Can you help.

Thanks,

@Anup: what the hell kind of comment is that? It doesn’t make any sense, and it’s useless.

Currently, when I hit try and use this feature, it says it can’t find any duplicates. I have hundreds of duplicate contacts with THE SAME NAME. Another worthless Microsoft “feature.”

Not only that, but you can only merge names on the same page… so if you’ve got two names, but one’s on your “a” page and another’s on your “j” page, you can’t check the box next to each and merge them, because once you leave a page, the name becomes “unchecked.”

Awesome.

This tool is just a toy. Any Freshman can write this and is probably a very stupid feature. I have about 700 contacts in my address book, half of them are duplicates. Try using this tool with 300+ contacts. That is no fun. There should have been a good automated way to get this done.

Hello,

How can I remove the duplicate mails on Windows Live Mail ?
There are something script/addon or external program? Don’t find any good program for it.

Thanks for advance,

Hi. I have duplicate-horror in my Live Messenger. I have now over 5000 contacts since my contacts is multiplied with over 10. The duplicate-remover is not working, it only gives me a message that contacts is no longer available. I have tried several times over the last weeks now, but still same error message. This might be because I have so many contacts. The duplicate-remover have worked before. Could it be that there is a limit for 5000 and this is the reason that I cant remove duplicates?
