Just a quick farewell to you all. I gave Evolution my best (under
Ubuntu). For me, reliable synching to a Palm Pilot (an M505, in my case)
is absolutely necessary. I ran across, in 2.0, most of the same problems
that drove me away from 1.2 some years ago. Plus some new ones!
Just for the record:
1. Categories don't come over for my extensive contact list. This would
cost me hours of work I've already done.
2. Evolution some times DELETED my /dev/pilot file after a Palm sync.
3. Unpredictably (at least to me), I would get in excess of 8,000
duplicated, blank, priority 3 To Dos. I could delete the duplicate
entries through dedupe (requiring another download -- pilot-link), but
they came back maybe three or four syncs later.
4. I seem, about every four syncs or so, to have to run killev, kill
gpilotd, then restart Evolution to get it to sync again. This when
/dev/pilot would disappear.
Used ONLY as a PC-based organization tool, Evolution is a stunning,
complete tool for contact, time management, and email. And it's
possible, of course, that these problems results from some unique
characteristic of my combination of hardware. But JPilot continues to
work, first time, every time, with no surprises. So it's back to old
faithful.
Best of luck to you all.
