No, the UbuntuOne service never made any sense to me. Evolution supports GroupDAV / CardDAV [in Evo it is called WebDAV] for contacts and CalDAV for tasks, events, and memos. And Evolution is just about the only client to actually support *attachments* via CalDAV for tasks and appointments - which is simply awesome.
