Outlook Duplicate Remover

[marlof]

<a href="http://www.hlyspirit.org.uk/outlook.php">http://www.hlyspirit.org.uk/outlook.php</a><br /><br />Do you know what I dislike most about a hard reset on the Pocket PC? Getting my PIM information synchronized with two desktops again. Merging the information gives me more duplicates than I care for, so I try to avoid that as much as possible. The first desktop goes ok, as I choose to replace the information on the Pocket PC with information from the desktop. <br /><br />But on the second desktop I want the information on the Pocket PC (freshly synchronized with the first computer) to replace the information on the desktop. Otherwise the next time you sync with the first machine again Activesync will find the new info on the Pocket PC and will merge with the desktop info. My solution: delete all PIM information in Outlook on the second desktop. If you change the view to a view by category, you can select all items in a very convenient way. After all is gone, you can choose 'merge' on the second desktop. The desktop Outlook does not contain items, so should not create duplicates in your Pocket PC.<br /><br />If you do get duplicates along the way, there are different tools to help you out. <a href="http://www.pocketpcpassion.com">Dale Coffing</a> posted on this on Passion, and I answered with some of the things I learned along the way from <a href="http://www.slipstick.com">Slipstick</a>, one of the best Outlook resources out there. Then another user, Robclif4d, pointed Dale to a program that I didn't recall, <a href="http://www.hlyspirit.org.uk/outlook.php">Outlook Duplicate Remover</a>. It is a program developed by Fr. Simon Rundell from the Parish of the Holy Spirit in Southsea. He calls the program 'prayerware': Free to download, use and distribute, as long as you pray for the developer, his ordination to the sacred priesthood at Petertide 2002 and his ministry at the Holy Spirit, Southsea.<br /><br />Other than the things I found earlier on Slipstick, this one has the ability to remove duplicates in all Calendar, Tasks, Contacts and Notes. I have not tried it yet, but the featureset looks that good, that I wanted to share this with you.

Wazzup? Isn't that discrimination based on relegion? I don't have a religion, don't know how to pray and don't want to learn it either. So, I can't use that software? Sheesh.

[Ketsugi]

A strange concept. One would assume, however, that if you worshipped a god other than the one the good Friar believes in, he wouldn't really want your prayers anyway.

[Kemas]

Well, let's not forget that the three dominate relgions of the world believe in the same God... Jews, Christians and Muslims. So if you are praying to your God and you believe in one of these three faiths, I think you are covered. Most of the other relgions of the world believe in giving prayers to others of different relegions, so again the Friar is covered. Besides, who won't give a prayer to a holy man or woman.

I think this is pretty cool and an excellent, novel, concept. As we move deeper into the 21st century I suspect we will see more of this out of the various monks and monestaries around the world; as well as for pay computer programing services. This fits well with their beliefs and could be much more financially rewarding than making wine, beer or ale as centuries past. Many of these monks are very well educated, so it just makes good common and relegious sense; regardless of your belief system.

Does NE1 actually READ EULAs?

[jlc, just jlc]

You know, if you don't like his license terms, don't use the software. No one is forcing any religion on you - it's no different thet someone using the GNU license or MS's EULA - they set terms for use. If you like them, use the software, if not, don't.

All he asks is that you pray for him and then use the software. I think the request is reasonable( but I may be biased) but if you are not a person of faith then could you at least think kindly of the man and not mock his request for consideration. We (hopefully) all are people of goodwill and can share those feelings at the very base level of existence. I hope this gives some guidance to those who questioned... "Wazzup? Isn't that discrimination based on relegion? I don't have a religion, don't know how to pray and don't want to learn it either." :D

Sheesh. The guy builds software for you, and all you can do is pick on him. If you find his prayer concept offensive, then hit the road. :x

(Parenthetically: the idea that the 1st Amendment relates to this is absurd. Only the government is constrained by this; individuals are free to have any opinions they like.)

Now let's get back to thinking about PocketPCs.

I don't know about all of you BUT.

I have no desire to pray, but I downloaded this program to remove duplicate files in outlooks contacts, calender, tasks, and notes.

When it worked, I shouted thank God. ( I'm sure the author would accept this. )

I do not mean this as a pun. I truly thank the author for this program.

Very well put :x. Come on people, wake up a smell the coffee! Get a life, etc.. The guy has a right to do what he wants to do, no questions asked! It makes me feel ashamed for the whole board :oops:. Sorry, I just had to get that off my mind.

You are suppose to read the EULA's? Really?

I thought they were just the text that pops up when you are supposed to click "I accept".
