I have to say that, coming from an M$ Windoze environment, where I relied heavily on Outlook to manage email, calendar, and addresses, Ximian Evolution is a terrific application to bridge the transition.
I've read several boards but found no definitive information on the following Evolution-related questions: 1) Can you import Outlook email (from .pst files)? 2) Can you syncronize Evolution to WindowsCE devices? 3) Can you syncronize Evolution to online calendars such as Yahoo? 4) Can you syncronize email between a Windows machine running Outlook and Evolution? Details on each question follow: 1) Can you import Outlook email (from .pst files)? =================================================== I have found two basic thoughts on this: One is to install Mozilla on the Windows machine, let *it* convert Outlook, and then import from there to Evolution. The other thought is to get Outport, convert the files and use Evolutions File-Import to bring them in. The trouble I had with this is that Evolution showed NO filters in the File-Import process. I got the first 2 screens, then a progress box that said "scanning for Intelligent Importers", then a blank dialogue box (with OK and Cancel, but no filters to select). 2) Can you syncronize Evolution to WindowsCE devices? =================================================== I see that a tool for Palm devices is present, but aside from an article on Chris Herrera's web site (http://www.cewindows.net/wce/linux-serial.htm) I can't find anything resembling an application. Not to mention what do to once you connect (ie: linking to Evolution). 3) Can you syncronize Evolution to online calendars such as Yahoo? =================================================== Yahoo has their Intellisync applet, which push/pulls between several email programs. I don't see a Linux-compatible option. 4) Can you syncronize email between a Windows machine running Outlook and Evolution? =================================================== I have a desktop PC and a laptop, and like to keep my mail syncronized between the two. With Outlook, I simply copied the .pst files over and I was good to go (obviously, only one computer can be "in charge" at a time). Is there any way to do this? How about between two systems both running Linux/Evolution? Thanks for everyone's support and help. Hopefully I'll be able to give something back soon. Leon [EMAIL PROTECTED]
