Frequently Asked Questions about duplicate contacts, duplicate calendar appointments, duplicate journal entries and other duplicate itens in Microsoft Outlook accordingly Duplicate Remover add-in

Question: I run Duplicates Remover addin for Outlook and it is not recognizing/removing duplicate Calendar appointments. Is there some special criteria I should be choosing?

Answer: We cannot tell you exactly which criteria set helps in your individual case – running the Outlook add-in, you can see about 30 "properties for comparison" for Calendar items and for Tasks in the list to select (step 5 of 5). By default, they all are checked. And only items with all identical fields will be processed with the default criteria list. You can remove the checkmarks from some fields - and they will be excluded from the duplicate identification process. Please make sure that you have chosen the right item type - Calendar (step 1), mark with a tick all necessary folders (step 3 of 5), then take a good look at the list of criteria (step 5 of 5), Select merely those which matter for you, and proceed.

Question: What would be the best way to filter my Outlook Calendar items and remove the same ones?

Answer: Sorting items, or the view does not matter for Outlook Duplicates Remover: if you’d like to examine all existing differences between the items you consider as duplicates, open a couple of them, switch their view to “All Fields”, select “All Calendar Fields” – and have a look at both items to compare. Once you note the differences, you can remove the checkmarks from the proper fields in the list of criteria available in the Step 5.

Question: I've run the Duplicates Remover for Outlook numerous times. Initially there were approx. 25000 duplicate contacts in Outlook. Now I can see there are still a few, and I can see no obvious reason why they are not being flagged as duplicate. I can open up each individual duplicate record, and they look exactly the same.

Answer: Contact items have a great quantity of fields (and the most of them are not displayed in the regular view – you can see them all merely if you switch to view “All Contacts Fields”). That is why the items which look like duplicates may have differences, so the duplicates remover add-in will ignore them. In the Step 5 of 5 of the add-in wizard, you can see 107 "properties for comparison" for Outlook Contacts in the list to select. There are two critical criteria in the 5th step – Full Name and Email. You can reduce all other criteria and one critical. You can remove the checkmarks from all the fields you do not need to be compared - at least, creation date/time and size will differ in the most of cases.

Question: I was wondering if it is possible to run a duplicate check and still be able to access my Outlook inbox as at the moment when I run a duplicate check, I'm prevented from accessing anything else on Outlook?

Answer: Unfortunately, we can not imagine currently any way to let users access Outlook modules while our add-in is searching for duplicates: we designed that modal dialogue so that while duplicate remover add-in is processing duplicates, no other processes interfere with it, to avoid possible conflicts.

Question: I am wondering if it is possible to attach your Duplicates Remover to my Outlook, so that it will run automatically when Outlook is started.

Answer: Unfortunately, there is no any option or possibility to automate this process with our Outlook duplicate removers. Our software for processing duplicates in the e-mail client can be launched merely manually - i.e. you will need to follow all wizard steps and check the settings every time before starting processing outlook duplicates. It is a kind of product policy. Automatic, or scheduled modes are impossible with their Outlook add-in.

What’s user saying: “Thank you SO MUCH for the two duplicate remover programs”
Once I found both of your Outlook Duplicate Remover products, they totally saved my life, my time, and my data. I ran into a similar issue at my last job (accounting) where an external hard drive had critical Outlook data files on it and died because it overheated – MAPILab saved the day for me there as well...
