But i > definetly need to test it If you enter text in the large address box in Evolution, Evolution itself will try to parse it into the different fields of the address (and does a rather lousy job of it, just hit the "Address" button next to the box to see what I mean), so the preferred way IMHO would be to transfer the individual fields that comprise the address. On the way back (palm->evo) you will have to build a LABEL property from the individual ADR properties, otherwise evolution will have the address in the categorized address input dialog, but not in the box. (It will appear there if you click the "Address" button and then confirm the dialog.) That's the way it is handled in the opie_sync plugin and by all accounts it seems to work rather well.
