Re: [Evolution] Merge/Syncing multiple evolution installations.

[Pete Biggs <pete biggs org uk>]

For mail the best thing is to use imap so all your Evo installs take
their mail from the same source.

For calendar and contacts I have tried various things in the past with
greater or lesser success.  The best simple solution is to use
syncevolution and ScheduleWorld - the former is a program that
interfaces Evo with syncml and the latter is a free web setup that
allows you sync various things using syncml.  I successfully used that
setup to keep 3 copies of Evo, a google calendar and a Blackberry in
sync with each other.  It's not automatic though - you still need to
either manual run the sync process or, as I did it, set it up as a cron
job.

Currently I'm using a Zimbra server for my calendar - that at least
allows you to use CalDAV to keep things all in one place.
