Duplicates EVERYTHING

[nc35]

Hi All

My universal and outlook seen to have duplicated everything at least twice.

I have searched the threads and come to the conclusion it is another M$ error, but can anyone please recommend a util (preferably free) to search through outlook or the phone and remove the duplicates?

Thanking you in anticipation

Unless I'm missing something here, wouldn't it be just as easy to go into Outlook on your desktop and remove the duplicates?? Then, sync the phone again??

and in case it's not duplicated there set activesync to "make my device to match outlook" mode

Hi

Quick replies

Yes it would be easy, but there are hundreds of entries.

And unfortunately the dupes are on both outlook and my universal

Still searching google for a solution :(

I've had this problem also, my contacts are duplicated 3 timesa and it's hard to delete it. still looking for a solution.

i had that problem before. and i know where it came from. i had yahoo go installed and i had goosync both syncing with outlook. all that syncing messed everything up.

Here is a solution - let the phone sync, and make sure that it's properly synced (not kidding). Then get a tool Anti-Dupe from w*w.anti-dupe.com
It's a desktop tool for removing duplicate entries (TODO, calendar, contacts, memo). Well it's for free, so don't expect too much. It just does it's job.

P.S.: Make sure you let it remove the duplicates one by one (ie first Contacts, then Tasks) and not everything at once. After it's done, the phone will sync and voila ;)
Works for me almost every week (I sync 3 devices with Outlook - WM, PALM, Samsung).
