Package: synce-sync-engine
Version: 0.11.1-2
Severity: important

Hello,

I used opensync and synce to sync the contacts between Kontact and my Windows 
Mobile 6.1 phone. On the first sync my phone had no contacts. So all contacts 
were, in fact, synced to a clean phone. I noticed that only one telephone 
number per contact was synced and the rest was ignored. 

The data loss on the Kontact side of the sync occures when changing a contact 
on the phone that has multiple phone numbers in Kontact. The changed contact 
replaces all data in Kontact using the data from the phone lacking the 
additional phone numbers. 

This comes without any warning and might degrade an addressbook slowly over 
time. In this case it is hard to work with backups, because they do not contain 
new data that constantly gets added to an address book.

Therefore I strongly advise against using this package. I guess it should come 
with a big warning sticker: "Currently this package sneaks in and deletes some 
phone numbers without notice."

Bye,

Malte
