[Evolution] Alarms + zaurus sync

[Ryan Leduc <leduc mcmaster ca>]

I use evolution 1.0.8-10 on rh 8.0.   I want to set an alarm so that an
e-mail to my primary mail account (which I can check from multiple
places) is sent.

I tried setting a reminder, and choosing "run a program" and then
specifying an appropriate mail command.  What happened was a window
popped up asking me to confirm running the command.  As I would have
only known this if I was at the console of the machine I sent the
message on, this defeated the purpose of remote notification.

Is there any way this can be overrided?

Also, I want to avoid having an alarm go off on my palm pilot (which I
sync with) as well as evolution on my screen.  Does anyone know which
option (display message or play a sound) will not generate an equivalent
alarm on my pilot?

Third question. Does anyone know if there is an easy way to get
evolution to sync with a sharp zaurus? (question is actually for a buddy
of mine who just bought one).
