Description Rob Hughes 2004-10-09 13:42:31 UTC
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.
