Linking People Information
Many people now maintain multiple email accounts, social
networking logins, and other similar account information. For
example, a Facebook account login name might differ from a
corporate email account login because they are maintained
separately and for different groups of people.
This device can synchronize with multiple accounts such as
Windows Live, Outlook, Google, and Facebook. When you
synchronize your phone with these accounts, each account
creates a separate contact entry in the People list.
If one of your contacts (Amy Smith, for example) has a regular
email account that you maintain in Hotmail, but also has a
Facebook account under her maiden and married name, as well
as a Google account, when you merge these accounts into your
Contacts list you can link all of her entries and view the
information in one record.

The next time you synchronize your phone with your accounts,
any updates that contacts make to email account names, email
addresses, etc. automatically update in your contacts list.
For more information about synchronizing accounts, see
"Synchronizing Accounts" on page 44.
