Re: [Evolution] Palm/PDA and Evolution Mail?

[Paul Rodriguez <sangretoro yahoo com>]

Thanks for the reply, Stuart.  You're the first person I've been able to
find who can read their evolution mail on their palm.  Where can I find
evolution-pilot for my system?  It doesn't seem to come with Mandrake,
and rpmfind's rpm's don't seem to play nice with my existing evolution.

Should I build it from source?
