Thanks Martin, That has been my experience for some years now, too. What I find difficult to comprehend, is that in this whole open source thing, that the gnome/evolution developers have not used the jpilot sync code, because it works really well, every time. My problem is that in my tiredness and frustration I screwed up in jpilot and did not choose "restore handheld" but merely synchronised and my empty pilot blitzed my desktop data in jpilot. Now I need to get my data back from evo onto the pilot. It would be nice if there were a way to export the address data from evo to jpilot, and then at least I could start using my pilot again.
