Why do Duplicates Happen

Duplicate records are a great bane of modern life with mobile devices. They commonly appear when you do a database reset. When you get a new phone, for instance, often the phone store may move your data, and then you go sync to your PC, and suddenly you have two copies of every record. Or maybe you get a new PC and move your Outlook data file, you sync to your Phone and then the data gets duplicated.

Why the PC Cannot Remove Them

Duplicate records are made more complicated because there are subtle differences between the way Outlook, Google, Android and iPhone hold the Contact Name, email address or phone number. So any effective duplicate removal tool needs to know the way each plaform formats the record, and recognize key fields to match two records that a human will recognize as duplicates.

Steps to Resolve Duplicates

The best resolution is to identify your main or master database, and remove the duplicates there. Then, your normal sync tools will remove the duplicats on your other devices like Google or Duplicate records are made more complicated because there are subtle differences between the way Outlook, Google, Android and iPhone hold the Contact Name, email address or phone number.

What is "Outlook" in 2025?

Outlook is Microsoft's email and calendar app. In 2025, there are three apps that Microsoft calls "Outlook". You can compare them here. CompanionLink supports all versions of Outlook.

Classic Outlook

The PC version of Outlook that you have been using for 25 years is now called "Classic Outlook". It runs on your computer and works without the internet. Nearly all Outlook users still prefer it for privacy and speed.

New Outlook

New Outlook is is cloud-based. Your data is not stored on your PC. This means it is slower and will not work if your internet is down. Most PCs now have New Outlook installed because Microsoft forces them to. Nearly all users prefer Outlook Classic apps because cloud-based solutions are unreliable.

Outlook for Windows

Outlook for Windows is the free app that replaces Windows Mail and Calendar. Microsoft shares your data with more than 801 advertisers. Many users worry about privacy with this version.

Which Outlook Should You Use?

We strongly recommend Outlook (classic) because it is fast and secure. If you have a Microsoft Office license, then you own a license to Outlook (classic). Use this guide to switch to Outlook Classic Now.
