How do I archive and delete unused Contacts?
Over time I have built up thousands of Contacts. I now want to archive and
delete all Contacts that I haven't sent email to or received email from in say the last 12 months. How do I do this?

How do I archive and delete unused Contacts?
Contacts cannot be archived by design.

How do I archive and delete unused Contacts?
Well, you could set autoarchive on the Contacts folder, but since Outlook maintains no record of how often a particular contact is used, it would be pretty pointless and risk losing a lot of contacts to the archive.

Ah ????
There is no Archive option in Contact properties.

How do I archive and delete unused Contacts?
There's no easy way to Archive Contacts, but you can Copy Contacts to your
Archive folder. Note that each time you do this, before coping, delete the old Archive Contacts folder first. As far as deleting individual contacts, it's either one-at-a-time or you can use the Alpha-Tabs on the right side to help with this. I also highly suggest you Categorize every contact even create your own categories if necessary. "Chris McCubbin" wrote: Over time I have built up thousands of Contacts.
