Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what you are doing. Description of Problem: Add options to delete or merge duplicate contacts in address book. Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Edit existing contact and change the display name, email, etc. 2. A dialog pops up stating that the contact already exists 3. Some very handy functionality would be options there to merge or delete the duplicate contact. Actual Results: n/a Expected Results: n/a How often does this happen? Given the size of my address book, pretty bloody often ;) Additional Information: Just a wish item. Due to syncing my palm, adding contacts while on the road, etc., I often wind up with duplicates in the address book. I'm basically just wanting something to make my use of evolution more efficient. Plus, this would give evolution a step up on lookout, since it also lacks this functionality without the use of 3rd party add-ins.
this refers to bugs 11082 (resolved) and bug 257790 (about merging contacts). i consider this to be a duplicate of bug 257790. closing. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 257790 ***
