From: Chris Horgan on 1 Jul 2008 18:22 Just installed Outlook 2007 & have imported my emails & address book from Thunderbird. All was going well until I realized that Thunderbird had created numerous duplicate contacts. A couple thousand to be exact So I attempted to delete the address book in Outlook, but I think that feature only allows you to delete additional address books, not the main one. I then deleted each Contact by scrolling on the admin page & hitting delete. They were all gone, but now I realize that Outlook left a blank contact for each one I deleted. How do I delete the Address Book or overwrite it with another & eliminate the thousands of blank contacts? Thanks

Outlook does not use or have an address book. It uses Contacts Folders. Read up a bit on how Outlook actually works, then post your question clearly and accurately enough that someone can help you. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Chris Horgan" <soundcontact(a)hughes.net> wrote in message news:%23LRxYk82IHA.784(a)TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... > Just installed Outlook 2007 & have imported my emails & address book from > Thunderbird. > All was going well until I realized that Thunderbird had created numerous > duplicate contacts.
