Fri, 10 Apr 2026 17:02:27 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/1892 Data import doesn't check for duplicate entries When importing data, no duplicate check occurs. As a result, if importing from multiple disparate data sources, its possible to quickly obtain many identical entires in your addressbook. Contact lists have the potential to get really messed up, because only one entry exists in the contact list but you have no way of knowing which addressbook entry it corresponds to and you may inadvertently delete the wrong one, if you decided to clean up your addressbook and remove duplicates. The contacts API call from IMP, for adding an entry to the addressbook from the headers of a message, does this check (single entry only). This patch attempts to mimic that same behavior by checking for the existence of the value in the addressbook. Room for improvement - pluck the entry that is a duplicate out of the import file and display the email address or name to the person importing the entry, instead of "Already exists". Its too late for me to figure out how to do that. Sat, 30 Apr 2005 04:22:21 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/1892#t7827 Committed along with the enhancement of displaying the name.
