Contacts merged on Gmail account but not on eM Client

I had several duplicate contacts in Gmail and used their web interface to merge them and now the search does not find any additional duplicates. However, in the contacts tab of eM client, these merged contacts are still having multiple entries. How come?

Hello,

We’re sorry for the inconvenience. Could you please try right-clicking the relevant Contacts folder, selecting Properties, going to the Repair tab and trying to click on the Repair button?

Thank you,
Maurice
