Hi Patrick, and thanks a lot for your answer. So, as far as i know, N9 does not support multiple local accounts, so basically you are telling me that what i want to do is not possible.. thats a pity. But do you think it is possible to make syncevolution do a "refresh from server" without pre-erasing everything on the client? A sort of "add from server" mode.. That would work (inefficiently, but better than nothing)
