But now, having tried multiple ways of adding new contacts (manually, importing attached contactitems or business cards), the new entries continually get new Modified dates (as seen pc Outlook contacts) at intervals of a few to several minutes (seems timed with sync of mobile devices, but not Application Folders sync). Since then, I've disabled contact syncing on all droid and ipad email client apps so only droid and ipad systems are syncing contacts. Around this time, all contacts were updated and given new Modified dates. About a week ago, I had 3 email clients installed on the droid phone and ipad and one of them (Atlo mail) had stopped syncing mail so I was reinstalling and adding new email clients.

The change log in the notes field displays the changed data, should it try to update the contact with old information. While it may be tempting to turn off updating, it defeats one purpose of the social connector: to keep your contacts updated. In Outlook 2003 or 2007, the Account Settings dialog is accessed from Tools, Social Networking Account settings. To change the setting in Outlook 2010 and up (if the Social Connector is enabled), go to the View ribbon, People Pane, Account Settings, Settings button and change the update option from Update without prompting to Prompt before update or Never update.
