If I'd done some more digging, I would have found that this is a known
problem!

Has anyone solved it in a hackish kind of way? I understand most
development focus has shifted to opensync related work? The above thread
suggests that all I need to do is change the version number of the VCARD to
2.1 during the transfer. I haven't looked at the multisync code, but this
shouldn't be too hard to do. I'm enough of a C programmer to do it tomorrow if
there isn't already a solution.

Also this thread meantions that tasks are not syncing properly either. I've
found this is still the case. Does anyone have any insight into this problem?

Can anyone explain the functionality of the "resync" button. I've used that a
couple of times and I've also created brand new sync pairs and used the
normal sync. In the process I have duplicated my tasks, and my appointments
and some of my contacts. Is the duplicate checking code supposed to prevent
this? I was asked about some near duplicates and possibly some actual
duplicates, but the vast majority of appointments were silently duplicated. I
believe I used the debian packaged version of multisync for this test, rather
than the CVS compiled version. Is there a bugfix missing from the debian
package?

At the moment multisync is mostly useless for me, and my phone has only the
year old addressbook that my last phone put in the sim card :-( I'm also
getting a bit nervous about syncing as it does more damage to both my phone
and my evolution data every time :-(
