NoMoreDupes for Outlook

While Microsoft's Outlook is an intuitive and flexible email client, its storing capacity also makes it unavoidable to end up with duplicate contacts and content.

NoMoreDupes for Outlook is a lightweight utility that enables you to search for matching items all across your email client.

Since it is an add-in, it integrates into Outlook's toolbar seamlessly and you can access it from there whenever you want to clean or organize your email. It goes without saying that it borrows Outlook's sleek look and displays familiar icons when scanning for duplicates.

As far as the functionality is concerned, the utility allows you to specify the criteria it should use when searching for identical content. More precisely, you can search for matching items based on the due or start date, company or contact name, message subject and conversation index, just to name a few.

While it is important to have your email clean and well-organized, sometimes you can get overzealous and delete contacts, notes and content unintentionally.

The utility enables you to move duplicate items to a specific folder or the Deleted Items directory to avoid the unpleasantness resulting from accidentally deleting these items. You can browse through them again to compare and decide if you want to get rid of them permanently.

If you are not sure whether or not similar email addresses belong to the same contact for instance, then you can merge them into one contact.

Even though the add-in enables you to scan all Outlook folders to find and compare identical items, you can select the ones you want to delete manually.

This can be very time-consuming even for the average user and the add-in could really use an automatic function that enables you to set up what you want to find and get rid of.

If you are using this email client as a personal email address, NoMoreDupes for Outlook can be an add-in to consider.
