Save as outlook contact? - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

When you choose save contact as Outlook contact, where does it go?
If I add my hotmail to outlook while they be a part of my hotmail adressebook.
Ive used Pimbackup a couple of times to restore my contacts, but now I have a lot of duplicates. How do I delete them?

Contact Groups and Outlook Calendars

If possible I would like to know which is the "best" program in order to create a group with personal contacts and one with bussiness.
I would also like to have my personal calendar from Outlook synchronized separately from the business one in Outlook.
Thanks in advance!

Email Accounts

Where are they stored? I did a PIM Backup and the CHome plugin sees the emails, but the actual email accounts dont exist in the outlook setup. When I try and create them, the phone says there is already an email with that name...so I am looking to just delete these hidden ones and re-enter them.

[Q] How sort google contacts?

How does one sort google contacts? situation is: i have all of my phone contacts backed up via gmail. though when i add them to my phone i also get a ton of random email addresses in my contacts on my phone, so therefore i have to go through everytime and delete all of them.
how do i create just a folder on gmail so it will only sync those contacts and not email addresses?

Going off memory (phone upstairs and to lazy to go get it) but
you can't control what syncs, but there is an option in the Captivate contacts to only show contacts with phone numbers.

Go to your contacts on gmail and move anyone you don't synced to your phone out of the "My Contacts" group.
this will still allow me to sync them to the phone?
i did realize "my contacts" does include many email addy's.
Gmail used to add all contacts to the My Contacts group including those that you just email without you specifically adding them, it no longer does that but you do need to go through the My Contacts group in Gmail and uncheck all the ones you don't want synced from the My Contacts group. They will just then be available under Other Contacts I believe in Gmail and not synced.
Stock the Captivate won't currently sync just My Contacts. Cognition gives you the option to hide the others. (In contacts>menu>more>display options>google then select which groups to display

duplicate contacts?

I have approx 300 contacts, and out of the sudden, it's now 500 because of duplicated contacts. Weird thing is the "extra" contacts are ONLY numbers. How can I remove those duplicated ones?
I did factory reset, synced, but still get those extra numbers. Help?
Are you syncing your contacts to your gmail? If so are there duplicate in gmail as well?
Yes, they are duplicate numbers without names in gmail.
duplicate contacts
Go to your gmail acct and look under contacts, select all the contacts and look for an option called "merge contacts". That should do the trick.
The phone restores the contact from your Gmail, so no matter how many times you wipe your phone, it'll still be there if you set up syncing with your Google account. You need to delete the contact you don't want from Gmail or in the phone manually.
Go on your computer, gmail, my contacts, and fix them up. The phone syncs exactly whatever you have in the my contacts sub group.
You only need to do this once, and forever on any android phone you usb will be perfect with your contacts.

Backup HD7 contacts to HOTMAIL

hi i have a problem here
I use to save new contacts in the HD7, assuming it will update the HOTMAIL contacts database when i sync the account
but now I look that it doesnt sync the contacs to my HOTMAIL account and also it erase the contacts (from HD7) that i dont have in the HOTMAIL account
how do i can solve this?
i mean, i dont want to be updating HOTMAIL contact list one by one....
WP7 is starting tu upset me
Is hotmail the only email account you have it set up for? Exchange, Gmail, anything like that?
Either way, go to Setting --> Email and Accounts -->Windows Live and see what is set up to sync.
I have 2 hotmail accounts one for the contacts that i dont use for email
and one for the email...
but in no one update the contacts...
in the "primary" (Contacts) one... it only have the option to sync email

When you Edit a contact, it should give you an option to choose which account the contact you want to edit is from, provided that you have multiple contacts linked up and sync'd to multiple accounts.
If you only have 1 account that sync contacts, your phone should automatically be editing that contact on that 1 account, and it should update to the server almost immediately.
If you have no accounts that are syncing contacts (including no initial Windows Live ID tied to the phone), then your contacts will save to your device.
At least thats how it is supposed to be working.
I've never had any issues syncing to my Hotmail Contacts account. It has worked flawlessly since day 1.
I've never had a any luck syncing contacts to my hotmail account. I even lost 75% of them cos i got frustrated and decided to flash my phone regardless.
My friend uses hotmail to sync his contacts and he was saying yesterday something about him having to log on to his hotmail account on a desktop pc before his contacts would sync. I'll try and find out more about what he meant cos it didn't make much sense to me.
I use my gmail account to sync contacts now and I must admit it's been flawless. ever contact I create on my phone gets synced to my gmail account. Who'd have thought that would work better than MS's own hotmail?
