Now it does work. I swapped the plugins: Evolution has to be first, SyncML second. Also one should select the "always use entry from second plugin" conflict resolution method, "ask user" or "use both" seem to fail. When I was able to sync in both directions, I ended up with doublettes of each entry in both databases. The doublettes had the name and the address of the contact also repeated in the "country" field. To solve this, I had to delete each first occurence of an entry in Evolution and the second one on the P800. These "Failed to get..." messages still appear from time to time when automatic sync is turned on, but they seem to be harmless. Now everything seems to be working alright, smaller changes are synced without problems. Thank you for this nice tool.
