How to prevent seeing duplicate names when viewing the "Select Names" window after clicking "To:" in Outlook

Why do I see duplicate names when viewing the "Select Names" window after clicking "To:" in Outlook

You might be seeing an entry for email address and another for business fax numbers, you face trouble as Outlook considers fax numbers as "valid transport addresses".

You can take care of these duplicate names from appearing by prepending the "Fax:" before the number in the contacts.  This should prevent outlook from seeing the fax number as a valid transport address, so that you can see only the name (email address).

if you have too many contacts stored in your outlook, you can export them all the an excel sheet, change the numbers and import them back to Outlook.
