Anyway I had a major issue with duplicate contact entries.. and by duplicate I mean some would have 18, others 3. It varied by that much!
The only accounts I had tied to any phone was my Gmail and my corporate Exchange and neither of those listed many of these weird contact entries in their address or contact lists. I ignored it often, cussed it other times and today I discovered the reason: Outlook Suggested Contacts.
By default everytime you email someone from Outlook that does not have an existing contact entry in either your GAL or a local Contact Group/list Outlook automatically creates one under the 'Suggested Contacts'. So in Outlook if you click on Address Book"
Then Suggested Contacts:
You'll undoubtedly see a TON of entries, most of which you won't give a care about having as a contact. Hell I had Craigslist randomized addresses in mine. So do disable such a nonsensical thing, click on File then Options then Contacts:
