mooligan - I guess I spoke too soon. I'm not sure if it's the addition of birthdays, but now my contacts are getting dup'd, trip'd, etc. In addition, and the reason I mention birthday support, my Outlook calendar is now continually deleting and re-adding birthdays. Sometimes it deletes the old ones completely so I end up with only one new one, sometimes I get dups. Either way, it's my hunch (a complete guess) that the contact sync is what's doing this with the addition of birthdays.

I had this same problem when I moved from Gmail to Google Apps last week. I ended up having to remove all Connections on Soocial and delete all Contacts on the Soocial site. Then, starting with the Outlook sync, I re-added them (Outlook, Google Apps, OS X) and it hasn't happened since.

A comment on the problem "Outlook Client Only Syncing "Other" Phone Number" in Soocial:

I should clarify the point about every other sync point. Of course, Outlook/Exchange/iPhone get the Email blasted by Email 2 and addition of the Other phone number since they're using Exchange for sync. However, Soocial, Gmail, and Mac Address Book all get the correct Email addresses and no addition of an Other phone number. – Randy, on June 08, 2009 00:51

Looks like this thread has been stale for a while, but I'm still experiencing this very annoying issue on both email addresses and phone numbers. I'm syncing Outlook/Exchange/iPhone <-> Soocial <-> Gmail <-> Mac.

Work numbers in Outlook after syncing get dup'd in both Work and Other on Outlook.

If I have Email and Email 2 in Outlook, after syncing, both get overwritten in Outlook with Email 2.

However, for both the phone numbers and email issues, every other sync point has the correct email addresses and phone numbers. Why is Outlook getting screwed up?s
