Re: [SLUG] Looking for a desktop PIM
Well i didn't want to plug myself, but we have pricing on our site if you are interested in the hosted version. You can get started for like $15/month easy. There are other Australian hosting providers linked off the Zimbra site as well, all with pretty similar pricing, so there is plenty of choice. Thanks Dave - That is the for-money Zimbra version, including extra money for the Zimbra Mobile side. Nice, but probably outside the budget of most home users at ~ USB $500 for Zimbra Mobile alone.

Re: [SLUG] Looking for a desktop PIM
I recently migrated our mail and stuff to Zimbra network edition. The nokia mail for exchange is a a great sync tool, and I get email synced in as well, crackberry style. This is using Zimbra mobile, which is a heavy handed and probably non-free solution to your problem. Just wanted to mention it, as I have found the Zimbra web interface and Zimbra mobile the only decent thing that syncs to my Nokia fully. Doesn't do tasks at all yet though. dave - Original Message - From: "Peter Chubb" To: slug@slug.org.au Sent: Friday, 13 March, 2009 10:34:00 AM GMT +10:00 Canberra / Melbourne / Sydney Subject: [SLUG] Looking for a desktop PIM The quastion is, what do I use on my laptop?

Basically you should be able to sync (over the air GPRS or 802.11x, rather than having to use a cable) with anything that supports SyncML. No idea about any free software stuff, but there's a few services online that do it. Google Calendar has a beta offline version (using Gears) if you need that. That will sort your appointments and back up your contacts. Don't know about tasks, memos or keys though. I don't use the Nokia stuff for any of that on my crappy old phone. > Buy another Palm Pilot, since nothing else out there is really going to > give a lot of joy in terms of sync with Linux at the moment.

Nothing. opensync is the closest to a working project you are going to find, but it sucks, and can't really cope with talking to Symbian devices terribly well anyhow.[1] > I looked at Evolution but it wants to do email as well, and with only > 256M memory it's far far too big and slow. ...also, sucks at syncing anyhow. > Any ideas?

[SLUG] Looking for a desktop PIM
Hi, Until recently I've been using a palm-based PDA and jPilot on the desktop. My palm alas has died. So now I want to use my Nokia E65 phone instead to track appointments, TODos, and PIN numbers (via gnome-keyring). It has a much more horrible user interface, but I can cope for now. The quastion is, what do I use on my laptop? What's light weight, simple, can track appointments, contacts, TODOs, memos and keys, and can sync with a Nokia? I looked at Evolution but it wants to do email as well, and with only 256M memory it's far far too big and slow. Any ideas? I'm running Xubuntu (not particularyl light weight, I'm thinking of switching back to plain old Debian with a custom setup, and throwing away all the Gnome/HAL/Udev resource hogs) -- Dr Peter Chubb http://www.gelato.unsw.edu.au peterc AT gelato.unsw.edu.au http://www.ertos.nicta.com.au ERTOS within National ICT Australia A university is a non-profit organisation only in the sense that it spends everything it gets ...
