Hello there,

it's been almost a week since I first posted my question. Apparently the
file I attached caused the email to get corrupted in the mail delivery
queue, so this time I repost my question with no attachments. Yeah, it took
me a week. Sorry for that.

I'm still pretty new to the Unix world, so please bear with me if any of my
questions seem idiotic or downright obvious to answer; I am not trying to
bother anyone.

As a user of the service Memotoo, I was eager to try to sync my data with
Evolution, which is part of the GNOME desktop I use on Ubuntu 11.04 (no
Unity, thank you!). Wanting to install the latest available version of the
package that is offered on http://downloads.syncevolution.org/apt/, I added
the corresponding line to my /etc/apt/sources.list as suggested on your
site.

Besides being careful to install the  *syncevolution-evolution*  package
(since an *apt-get update* followed by a check with *apt-cache
policy*showed that even after adding to sources.list, the package
*syncevolution*  listed the official Ubuntu repositories as only candidate
for installation, and didn't seem to find another candidate on the newly
added repository), I haven't done anything else. The packages *syncevolution
* and *sync-ui* are shown as not installed on my system (which is right,
since I didn't pick the official repo), and the
*syncevolution-evolution*package is installed.

Everything dandy. I started the sync-ui (I assume it must be included in
the package I installed?) which looks just like it should, except that, *no
matter what service I pick for synchronization*, I only have a checkbox to
enable syncing of *contact information*. No calendar, and no task support
at all. I still tried it, and all of my contacts synced properly, but of
course nothing else did. Still, I would like to know what I could do to fix
this and get the full goodness of syncevolution. I have the feeling it is
something rather simple.

I leave you with a little console output, to make sure I don't have an old
version of syncevolution:

user@machine:~$ *apt-cache policy syncevolution-evolution*
> syncevolution-evolution:
>   Installed: 1:1.2.2-2
>   Candidate: 1:1.2.2-2
>   Version table:
>  *** 1:1.2.2-2 0
>         500 http://downloads.syncevolution.org/apt/ stable/main i386
> Packages
>         100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
>

I would be thankful for any hint on what is causing this (perceived) lack
of functionality. Good day and thanks for the long read :)
