Hello
I have two different email account one is on Gmail and other is on Yahoo. Few days earlier I tried to merge both my Yahoo and gmail contacts in my Outlook 2013 address book. The main problem start arising while I manually added all contacts in both account. When I tried to do so I selected merge duplicate something outlook hanged n so I choose “Allow duplicate” for both accounts’ contacts. Now, I want to merge all of them and remove duplicate entries.
ThanksHello Michael
If the Outlook is hanging there must be a problem with Outlook 2013 which needs to be rectified.
Firstly try to Recover your Outlook by running scanpst.exe
you can get reference from the link below
