Original title: How to fix corrupted WLM contacts file
I was an idiot when I accepted to merge OUTLOOK with Windows Live Mail, plus Gmail+ and the result has been a real disaster to me.!
Because the new groups or circles do not reflect my needs to interact with my old groups. And in addition there are dozen of duplicated cxontacts that can not be deleted of edited. These group of young computer engineers erroneously believe that placing in the same basket all your email accounts together with their respective contact list they are making us a favour.
To give you an idea of how big is the disaster let me tell you that my old WLM contact list was composed of less than 200 contacts including
four groups. Today it has 640 and there is no way of deleting or editing such contacts. The worse thing is, that this synchronization it is being operated on false premises. Example... they say I can not delete completely this contact unless I delete it from the place it came from. Then I go there, to the mail contact list of Google and the contacts I am trying to delete from WLM are written there in Google Mail but in a different manner, i.e., Anita Tormos Work, Anita Tormos Home, anita.tormos and again anita tormos... I just wanted to delete the two redundants, the one in small letters, but it is just impossible. Moreover, when I manage to delete some redundant contact, next time I open the program IT IS BACK THERE.
Excuse to have made a long introduction, because actually my question is very simple....
Considering that thanks God I still have my WINDOWS CONTACT LIST and that it has not been touched...... Can I then solve this MESS
by deleting ALL CONTACTS, (how to do it?), from my WLM, from Gmail+ and from Outlook, No contact list in any of them, and then
export to all of them my Windows Contact list which is not corrupted. Will they make a mess again?
How can I do this...._
And as a favour to whoever may read this post, For God sake, never, ever accept to synchronize accounts if you do not want to
turn down insane, as I am about to turn.!!!
