Would it be possible to use something like rsync or unison for this
purpose?  I see that, at least for the summary file, data does not get
immediately written to disk if I update a flag, for instance, so I
assume Evo caches this and writes it out periodically.  Is there a way
to force Evolution to commit to disk what it needs to so I can automate
a periodic sync?

Also, what problems might I run into if it updates local files while
Evolution is still running?   I don't suppose there's some magic way to
make Evolution reread what's on disk? :)

This sounds like an awkward problem to solve.  Knowing Evolution as you
do, what approach would you take?

Best,
Jason.
