- <title>Setting up your synchronization system</title>
- <para>
- Synchronization presents you with two issues you'll need to
- deal with. The first one is pretty simple: you'll need to get
- the data to move among the various devices you're using. If
- you've already got <application>Gnome-Pilot</application>
- working, then all you have to do is tell it to use Evolution
- as a conduit. If you haven't used
- <application>Gnome-Pilot</application> before, you'll need to
- run the GNOME <application>Control Center</application> and go
- through the hand-held device setup assistant. Then you can
- create the Evolution conduit and press the hotsync button.
- </para>
- <para>
- If that doesn't work, jump up and down several times and swear
- loudly. Then make sure you've got
- <application>Gnome-Pilot</application> going to the right
- device (for my serial port, it's /dev/ttys0, not the default
- /dev/pilot) and that you have read and write permission on
- that device. If you don't you'll need to be added to whatever
- group has those permissions (for my system, it's tty).
- Alternately, if you're the only user of your computer and
- don't care too much about security, just use
- <command>su</command> to become root, and then use
- <command>chmod a+rw /dev/[DEVICENAME]</command> to set
- universal read and write permissions on that port&mdash; just
- don't tell your sysadmin I said you could. (Sysadmins, of
- course, would never do such a thing.)
- </para>
- <para>
- Once <application>Evolution</application> knows where to get
- the mail, address, and calendar data, it needs to know what to
- do with it. When you synchronize your local data with the data on
- a server or handheld device, you may run into conflicts:
- perhaps you have ended up with two cards with the same name
- and different addresses, or old mail that has been deleted
- from one device but not the other. What if you want to keep
- only the most recent mail on your hand-held or your laptop,
- but all the mail on the LDAP server or your desktop machine?
- Select the <guibutton>Synchronization</guibutton> tab from the
- <interface>Preferences</interface> window to set up the
- conflict resolution preferences.

- You can set <application>Evolution</application>'s
- synchronization behavior in the following ways:

- <para>
- It's always a good idea to make a backup. If you set your
- synchronization behaviors wrong, you could end up deleting
- the messages and cards you want to keep, and keeping the
- ones you want to delete. Before you change these
- preferences, make a backup of your
- <application>Evolution</application> files. You can do
- this by... <!--DESCRIBE HERE -->
