Thom, I don't know if this will help, but in my experience (which is unlikely to be representative) Evolution and Palm/PalmOne products seem to have a checkered history. I'm using Evo 2.6.1 on XUbuntu 6.06 (the Xfce desktop version). I'm switching (I think) to Evolution as a full-scale PIM, instead of using it for mail and Jpilot for PDA work. The only way I've been able to get my Tungsten E2 to sync with Evo, USB style, is to make sure that gpilotd isn't running. Then I press the sync button on the Palm cradle. After about five seconds or so, I go to the Evo menu bar and click on Edit->Synchronization Options to start gpilotd. It's a sequence trick I picked up using Jpilot. Witt Jpilot, for reasons I haven't researched, /dev/pilot or /dev/ttyUSB0-1 get set up automatically, but apparently only after pilot-link detects the sync signal from the PDA. So, I applied the same approach to Evo: PDA sync button, wait five to eight seconds, then activate Sync options on Evo. (Then kill gpilotd so it's ready for next time) It seems to work -- mostly. I've been able to sync everything, but the sync process hangs on the final sync category: Tasks/ToDos. That said, any task I alter or delete on either the Tungsten or in Evo gets transfered to the other device. So the changes show up where they are supposed to. But why it hangs? Who knows? I have to say that Jpilot, although not integrated with email, seems to operate much more harmoniously with Palm PDAs than Evo seems to do, at least in my experience. Perhaps life will get better with 2.8! With best regards, Pete -- Peter N.
