Avoiding Duplicate Entries in the Contacts Application
If you synchronize your contacts with a new account or import contact information in
other ways, you could end up with duplicate entries in the Contacts application. If this
happens, you can link such duplicates to create a single entry. If you link entries by
mistake, you can unlink them again later.
