Duplicate Appointments and Contacts in Microsoft Outlook

Outlook Duplicates RemoverFor years I’ve been using the same Outlook data files from Office XP to the latest Office 2007. Through all of these upgrades and synchronizing against various PDAs, phones, Exchange servers, and Google Calendar imports, I’ve amassed quite a large amount of duplicate appointments and contacts. It has gotten to be so bad that I specially allocated time during the Christmas season to eradicate the clutter.

My procrastination had gotten the best of me until a little digging on Google revealed the existence of a free utility called Outlook Duplicate Remover by Fr. Simon. This clever program only requires a few simple configuration options and does its job without a lot of fuss. There is no preview mode so take the necessary precautions (i.e. backup your PST file). Although the splash screen doesn’t mention Outlook 2003 nor Outlook 2007, it worked for me but your mileage may vary. Another item off my task list!
