The first one is pretty simple: you'll need to get - the data to move among the various devices you're using. If - you've already got <application>Gnome-Pilot</application> - working, then all you have to do is tell it to use the - <application>Evolution</application> - <glossterm>conduit</glossterm>. If you haven't used - <application>Gnome-Pilot</application> before, you'll need to - run the GNOME <application>Control Center</application> and go - through the hand-held device setup assistant. Then you can - select the Evolution conduit and press the hotsync button. - </para> - <para> - If that doesn't work, jump up and down several times and swear - loudly. Then make sure you've got - <application>Gnome-Pilot</application> going to the right - device (for my serial port, it's /dev/ttys0, not the default - /dev/pilot) and that you have read and write permission on - that device. If you don't, you'll need to be added to whatever - group has those permissions (probably tty). - </para> - <para> - Once <application>Evolution</application> knows how to get the - mail, address, and calendar data, it needs to know what to do - with it. When you synchronize your local data with the data - on a server or handheld device, you may run into conflicts: - perhaps you have ended up with two cards with the same name - and different addresses, or old mail that has been deleted - from one device but not the other. What if you want to keep - only the a few contacts or messages on your hand-held or your - laptop, but keep all the data server or your desktop machine? - Select the <guibutton>Synchronization</guibutton> tab from the - <interface>Preferences</interface> window to set up the - conflict resolution preferences. - </para> - <para> - You can set <application>Evolution</application>'s - synchronization behavior in the following ways: - <!-- LIST HERE --> - </para> - <para> - <warning> - <title>Data Loss Prevention</title> - <para> - It's always a good idea to make a backup. If you set your - synchronization behaviors wrong, you could end up deleting - the messages and cards you want to keep, and keeping the - ones you want to delete.
