Due to a change in my cell phone service, I was using a palm treo phone and
palm desk top software and I upgraded to a service where i can use outlook!,
so I imported my contacts from palm and email from outlook express. EITH A
FEW PROBLEMS
1) there are many duplicates in my contacts now and i was unable to run the
duplicate checker
2) only 1340 contacts emigrated from palm a few hundred did not import,
please help
3) all emails are received in duplicate
4) although i set the parameters to check for new email every minute, unless
i click on "send and receive" my email doesn't update

Sync issues are never Outlook issues. Contact Palm.
Without knowing your mail account type and configuration settings none of
your other questions can be answered. This is all end use error. You would
never set a polling interval of less than 10 minutes, for example.

I've encountered the same problem before, at first I don't have any choice but to delete duplicates manually and it took me so long. but i guess you could try using a duplicate remover like Scrubly Duplicate Contacts Remover. If Scrubly finds any exact or Compatible Contacts, it will remove or merge them automatically. They even have a back up so I can have the original copy just in case. Here is the link if you are interested: http://scrubly.com

Hope this helps.,.take care and have a nice day.

Chris i agree with you, an duplicate remover will work fine, and also you can delete them manually, yes it is time consuming but is the best way.
