Avoiding duplicate entries in the Contacts application

If you synchronize your contacts with a new account or import contact information in
other ways, you could end up with duplicate entries in the Contacts application. If this
happens, you can join such duplicates to create a single entry. And if you join entries by
mistake, you can separate them again later.
