Duplicate items can make your work slower and more difficult, regardless if they are pictures, documents or other file types. The same can be said about emails, but if you decide to use Duplicate Killer, you will be able to keep your inbox and other folders clean. This lightweight application is capable of identifying and removing any duplicate emails, contacts or other contents in MS Outlook.

Duplicate Killer is an extension for MS Outlook. It is compatible with Outlook 2002 and all later editions and it can be used on Windows XP, Vista, Win 7 and Win 8. Installing the plug-in is not difficult and it doesn't take long to complete the operation. Apart from the aforementioned mail client, you don't have to meet any other requirements.

Duplicate Killer adds new options to Outlook's user interface, which can be found in one of the top menus or ribbon menus, depending on your preferred Office version. You can launch a quick wizard, to look for duplicates without making too many settings, but you can also run an advanced wizard, if you wish to perform an in-depth search. Regardless of which wizard you decide to run, the instructions you have to follow are clear and easy to understand.

When launched, the quick wizard will show you a series of default settings and if you agree with them, you may click a Start button to scan for duplicates right away. Alternatively, you can tick an option to change the settings in a step-by-step procedure. Duplicate Killer can be set to compare emails by various criteria, like subject, sender, sending time and others. You can also set it to mark the oldest, largest or other type of duplicate as the original item. Finally, you can decide how to handle duplicates. Depending on your settings, the application will send them to the trash folder or a user-defined location, flag them, assign categories or merge them.

The actual scanning process takes only a few seconds. You can review the results in a list, exclude items and perform other actions. The advanced wizard guides you through a similar procedure, but it places more controls at your disposal, for a refined and precise search. Besides duplicate emails, Duplicate Killer can also look for duplicates in your contacts, calendar or tasks folders. Furthermore, it can automatically warn you if a new entry matches an existing one. For example, if a new contact's name or other details match to those of an existing contact, the application will warn you and it will display options for creating the contact anyway or updating the existing entry.

Pros

You can find duplicate emails, contacts or other items in MS Outlook. Duplicate Killer allows you to make a wide range of configurations, to look for duplicates, based on various criteria. The plug-in is compatible with many Outlook versions and it can be installed without any effort.

Cons

The trial version can be used for a maximum of 15 times. While using Duplicate Killer, you will never encounter duplicate emails or contacts in your Outlook folders.
