Hej, in KDE 4.5 it will be possible to show all available contacts in the middle pane of KAddressBook. Then you can just type in the email address in the search bar above and if still multiple contacts are listed you know that you have multiple persons with the same email address. Ciao, Tobias Hola Tobias, thank you for the reply. I am aware of the manual way to look for duplicates. Imagine huge amount of address, like importing 400 new addresses at one time as a seperate addressbook. Life is hard for John if he would need to type all 400 addresses to look for duplicates. Also, as time went by, John may already have duplicates in his data set. He would need to go through every single email address to find them. Considering that the data is now stored in a database, I hoped that this feature would be easy enough to implent. Please consider reopening the wish in case you think someone might take care. Caretaker would be invited for hugs/beer/tofu and a huge thanks : ) i would be happy if this can be added too. having many contacts and changes it is neccessary to check for duplicates reopened due to popular demand. It can be extremely useful for users to find duplicates in large datasets, even if it cannot be implented at this time, the wish could be addressed later. See also possibly-related bug 226913 as a possible duplicate of this. I would also like to see this implemented. I would like to have this feature too. After I have fiddled a little bit with synchronizing my mobile phone I have some contacts twice and some even triple. Merging them by hand would be very tedious. I think the feature was available in the KDE 3 version of KAddressbook. Possibly a duplicate of https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=242647 The issue persists in KDE 4.9.
