Re: [Evolution] copying contacts from google to the local contact list

[Robert Seward <rseward bluestone-consulting com>]

Hello Eddie,

Evolution can "sync" contact information from your Google mail account.

http://www.linux.com/news/software/applications/8226-how-to-sync-evolution-with-googles-pim-apps

I personally sync my contacts between Evolution and GMail and it works well. However I use Evolution as a read-only recipient of the contact data. Meaning I do not create or edit contact information very often in Evolution.

If there any questions, please ask.

Cheers,
Rob
