Don't double post :P

Does one of the contacts in each pair have a book icon next to them?

prehaps a screenshot of what deAd is on about will help...check the attachment.

Other than that, maybe removing the contact cache might help

ah that's right..folders are hidden, so if you go Tools->Folder options->View->Hidden Files and Folders->Show Hidden Files and Folders should be selected->OK-> Should see your email address in the folder, that is your contact cache

yes...and be warned the first time you sign in after you delete the cache it will take longer to log in. This is s because the cache is redownloaded clean from the server.
