Gmail these days is more concentrating on secure usage of the mail box, while Yahoo continues to focus on content. Recently it came up with the idea of highlighting email from your friends and now it moves forward by introducing updated duplicate contact tool which now makes it easier than ever to locate and merge different contacts address for the same person.

According to Ymailblog –

Recently, we introduced a quick and easy way to consolidate all your different contacts lists into your Yahoo! Contacts. Whether you’ve imported the various address books that you’ve accumulated over the years or have a really big contact list, you may now find yourself with a few duplicate entries. If so, no problem, now it’s easier than ever to merge duplicate entries into one.

Working with the tool is quite simple, you just need to click on “Contacts” and you will get two options, one to import contacts from another provider and other is duplicate contacts tools. And once you click on the tool, it will scan your contacts list and present you with the duplicate entries that were found. To combine the duplicates into one, just click the button ‘Merge all EXACT’ and then ‘Yes’ to confirm. Yahoo has had a duplicate contacts tool for quite some time now, but now it’s as easy as it goes through the process.
