This isn't an Evolution problem, but a gnome-pilot problem.

That being said, can you tell us the following so we can help you better?
- Distribution
- Version of gnome-pilot
- Version of pilot-link (pilot-xfer and other programs)
- Version of evolution (though I don't think that really matters at this point)

Also, can you run gpilotd in a console and show the output?

One common problem: if Timeout is set too low, then pi_bind() fails, and therefore you could get
stuck in the Identifying User stage. Setting the Timeout to 100 seems to work for many people
(this is a known bug).

I'm currently using a Tungsten E have been able to get gnome-pilot to sync with it reliably using
gp 2.0.13 and pilot-link 0.11.8.
