It looks like the missing fields were added as part of https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=602244 ; and the groups were added as part of https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=566441 (I was kind of assuming that groups would map to address books, but I can see now that categories might be the better mapping, since one Google contact can be in multiple groups, same as one Evo contact can be in multiple categories). Only thing missing looks like the photo support for contacts, which is https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=619135 , and would be a nice touch, especially as people often seem to attach photos to contacts on their smartphones. > Also, take a look at syncevolution + mobical. Thank you for the heads up! Experience has just made me a bit wary of relying on a SyncML server. For example, I thought ScheduleWorld was great, then a month after I set everything up to use them, they changed from being free to being paid without telling me, so that I couldn't sync any more, and then they went out of business completely 17 months after that. Now it looks like Mobical are gone and have been merged into/bought by/rebranded as Everdroid ... and their android client only has 100 to 500 downloads, and just 6 reviews, and the longest list of required application permissions I have ever seen. And an alternative to this is to set up and maintain your own SyncML server, which I have no desire to do. So I think I'll just wait for Evo 3.0.0, as that gets me 99% of the way there, and then I'm only relying on Evolution and Google, and I'm okay with that, as I'm quite sure they'll both be around in 5 years. -- All the best, Nick. _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
