Paul
In responding to this email, you responded to my P.S. about how
to reply to you. However, you didn't respond to the main question, so
here it is again:

Umm - the usual way? You select one contact in the Address Book, press
command-A to select all, then click the delete (trash) button or the Delete
key. Yes, this would be he quickest way to get rid of your duplicates - just
start over.

My reply and question
Apologies that I wasn't clear enough. I know about selecting all
and deleting, but I have about 3500 contacts. I thought perhaps
there was a whole file I could find through the desktop and delete
it. Anyway, I deleted the usual way, it took a long time, but
it's done.
However... Also realized I'd have to do the same for tasks, notes
and calendar. Obvious for tasks and notes, but how can I delete
all calendar entries as there's not an obvious list to do "select
all"?
Two other questions about importing from Eudora
1. I imported from Eudora. In my contacts list, I now have
two different entries under the same name. One is John Doe who
was already in Entourage with all the data already entered. The
other is John Doe with just email address - imported from Eudora.
I can do a multi-step cumbersome method to get that email address into
the original file and delete the Eudora import. However, is
there a better way?
If so, is there a search criteria in Entourage X that would pull
up all contacts that are listed twice? Then at least I'd have
them all in front of me, and I'd just go through the laborious process
described in previous paragraph.
2. Glad X imported contacts. However, in Eudora, I also had
various other mailboxes to which I saved messages I had already read
or sent. I also had an "In" and "Out" boxes
full of messages I was temporarily saving before I transferred them to
the proper mailbox. I know I'll be able to manage this in X, but
is there a way to import the boxes and contents I already have in
Eudora? Or perhaps it has already done so and I just don't know
where to find them.
