Don't say that - it makes your emails drop in my priority list ;-)

I can't reproduce that. For me, changes made in the directory (editing
files, adding files) are ignored during a sync and never make it back to
Evolution, as intended.

Such things are possible, but not easily. Basically you would have to:
* Define your own, specialized file backend (the existing one is
not configurable enough).
* Define your own Synthesis vCard profile which does not define
PHOTO. Use it instead of the default vCard profile.
* Add filtering scripts which only accept contacts on the
Evolution side which have at least one TEL.

That's probably easier.
