Upendra,
We had a similar problem with Outlook, where the address book contained similar names (i.e., Jill, Jillian, Jill23, Jill233, etc...). I don't know exactly where I found this solution, but it seems that Microsoft's way of handling these resolves is akin to Foxpro's SET EXACT OFF. I believe that prepending a plus (+) in front of the name before you resolve it may have the effect of setting EXACT ON. Try it (on a small scale) and let me know. Hopefully, there's someone with more experience on this that could be of better help?
Good luck!
