Don't Show Duplicate Contacts
Option to turn off contacts sync when you have multiple email providers. Without this option you get lots of duplicate entries in your contacts in outlook. At present lack of this facility stopping me using this app,

Make the outlook contacts app much less aggressive. Between Outlook, Exchange, Gmail and Apple I have 4 or 5 contacts for the same person! Since I had the same email account thru exchange server for years I thought I’d just turn off my outlook contacts to minimize the duplication but outlook threatened me by only allowing 2 choices - either leave it on or they’d all be deleted! They all fight with each other to gain control and I’m so sick of it.

Keep getting duplicate Contacts in iPhone Contacts app. Shoes a MSOutlook link, says the Contact is Read Only. And keeps coming back even after deleted.

Hey I’ve been using the Microsoft Outlook app plugin on my ipad and it works great. Thank you!
I use it when I’m on the go away from my desktop pc. But I have both private email and business email accounts on the iPad. What I don’t want to do is send a business email to any of my private contacts, but business and non-business contacts are mixed together. Any way of designating/associating a contact to an email account(s)? -

The application possibly after an update duplicates contacts and in about two months you get 3 copies of same contacts. This problem has been persistent for at least 6 months now, surely mighty Microsoft has the brains to resolve it! Or does it not care?

When switching between multiple devises I seem to create multiple contacts for the same person ie mobile number office number email etc. it would be great for Outlook to recognize outlook contacts that are a duplicate and suggest merging them.

Not sure how I get them but seems every upgrade adds another copy...

If I have one contact saved in only one account, it duplicates about twenty times without contact information... just the name... and I can’t edit the contacts to group.

I finally figured out how to bring the contacts over to my iPhone native contacts...For some reason there are three of each contact now? Also when I want to update the contact from the iPhone with a new phone number or email it won’t work?

Add the feature to turn the contact on/off for each email account.

The ability to view contacts from a single account instead of seeing all contacts from all accounts. Eg. Account 1 has my personal contact, Account 2 my business, some contact overlap, which shows duplications, but I wish to filter out one account or another st any given time.

Why is there multiple entries for same person?

I have 2 email accounts registered but I want Outlook to display just my contact list from Gmail. Currently, I am seeing contacts from the two accounts, which is redundant in my case. I know in the Android version, there is a toggle to disable syncing contacts of non-Google accounts, of course. I wish a similar toggle/option becomes available on iOS.

Need to be able to access all contact folders in an account. Displayed contacts, based on settings, need to display folder name of contact.

Transitioning to your software has destroyed my contacts list. I have multiple copies of each contact now, some with only email, and none linked.
I think it c/b an issue with your mobile software. Maybe an issue with iPhone software. All I know is my day is FAR LESS efficient because my company requires your app.

Have a toggle switch in the Outlook app turning off Outlook contacts from showing up in iOS contacts. I have a iPhone contact and a Outlook app contact and it shows up as if it’s a duplicate contact. But really it’s one from Outlook app and one from iCloud back up. We would like to see this to keep contacts separated.

Add ability to see calendar and contacts on an account by account basis. Now can only see contacts for all accounts in outlook.

My contacts are automatically duplicated several times so about 300 contacts now are over 25000 contacts. Some contacts are duplicated more than 60 times. I suspect this has probably happened during synchronization of contacts between other apps.
I need some tool to remove those duplicates and some method to avoid future duplications. -

To load contact(people) from the iPhone main people source. Not only the ones available in outlook
