   I think the duplicate contacts are because they come from different sources   
   - one set of local contacts, one on your Google account, one from your   
   Microsoft account, one from another email provider, etc etc.  I wonder if   
   'tidy' is basically saying consolidate all the contacts into the Google pot?
