I have a Microsoft Exchange account set up on my phone and it is my main "Contacts & Calendar" though my Exchange does have mail obviously, however, I try and have all my mail sent to my MobileMe account, which is what I have a question about.

I have iTunes 10.5 beta installed because I was going to test iOS 5 (but that never worked...long story and not needed to be known...just know I am not running iOS 5.) So I tried to install the MobileMe Manager for Windows but it gives me an error saying something about my iTunes and how MobileMe Manager cannot be installed. I tried several times, it's not happening.

So what I want to do is get all my contacts to my MobileMe account, currently there is zero contacts there.

So I am wondering if I setup my MobileMe Account in Microsoft Outlook will the contacts sync and if they do sync will they create duplicates in my contacts app?? I want to avoid duplicates at all costs because it would be a pain to go through and delete every duplicate.

So please if anyone else out there has tried this, please let me know. I thank you in advance!!!

PS: I am on a Windows 7 Machine running Microsoft Outlook 2010.
 
i just read through the post and am trying to get a mental image of what youve got going on.

do you have hace contacts sync through mobilme enabled on the phone? i think i saw that you have mobileme on the phone, but i never saw whether or not you had the syncing turned on....
 
I have syncing of MobileMe Contacts turned off, when I turn it on all it does is add two contacts that were added on the phone itself, not through Outlook. It's weird and I don't really understand it.

I just want to know if I setup up my MobileMe account in Outlook aside my Exchange account will the contacts sync find or will they duplicate which would suck.
