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 Gnome-Pilot + working, then all you have to do is tell it to use Evolution + as a conduit. If you haven't used + Gnome-Pilot before, you'll need to + run the GNOME Control Center and go + through the hand-held device setup assistant. Then you can + create the Evolution conduit and press the hotsync button. + + + If that doesn't work, jump up and down several times and swear + loudly. Then make sure you've got + Gnome-Pilot 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 + su to become root, and then use + chmod a+rw /dev/[DEVICENAME] to set + universal read and write permissions on that port— just + don't tell your sysadmin I said you could. (Sysadmins, of + course, would never do such a thing.) + + + Once Evolution 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 Synchronization tab from the + Preferences window to set up the + conflict resolution preferences. + + + You can set Evolution's + synchronization behavior in the following ways: + + + + + Data Loss Prevention + + It's always a good idea to make a backup.
