Ah thats a problem that. My temporarily fix instead of using Evolution
for everything, having outlook still running in VBox, so I can have the

Gnome-Pilot to "Copy From PDA" I guess is the only thing I can really
do.

Thanks for the reply. I hope somehow these bugs can be fixed so complete
syncing can be complete.
