Duplicate Killer

Managing an e-mail client can be time-consuming and tiresome, especially when you are keeping track of with thousands of contacts, addresses and events. Not to mention that the more information you save, the slower Outlook works.

Duplicate Killer is a utility that allows you to search for and delete a wide variety of duplicate items in your Outlook client.

It is worth mentioning that the app acts as an add-in and that you can find it in the Outlook toolbar in the Home tab.

Even though it allows both the manual and automatic detection of identical e-mails, contacts, tasks, events, etc., the app is actually easy to use. Regardless of the items you are searching for, you can find them easily so the app can be a great tool for first-time users as well.

Before removing the items from Outlook completely, you can assign them a category, move them to a folder of choice or create backups for them. Alternatively, you can use a flag system to mark and spot them easily.

The app offers extra safety features that allow you to double check the e-mails, events, tasks or contacts before deleting them completely.

As previously mentioned, Duplicate Killer comes with two main functions, namely automatic and manual search of duplicates. Using either of them implies going through a wizard, where you specify the type of data you want to find and get rid of.

While it may sound complicated, running through the Quick and Advanced wizards is straightforward. More exactly, your job is to specify the properties of the items you want to find (address, contacts, events for instance) and the application does the rest.

Since it's an add-in, it goes without saying that it does not work unless you have Outlook open.

Keeping elements in Outlook neatly organized so you can find items easily can be troublesome after a while. Since it can find and remove duplicates in a matter of seconds, Duplicate Killer can lend you a hand in maintaining your e-mail client working smoothly.
