I saw your email while on vacation and then didn't have time to respond
immediately. So now it is my turn to apologize for the excessive
response time.

It could be that the other data categories are now shown because the
corresponding local databases do not exist yet. You mentioned that you
are new to Unix, so perhaps you never really used Evolution for this
data before?

Try creating a dummy event, task and memo in Evolution, then run the
sync UI again to configure syncing.

For what it's worth, the root cause of this is a rather confusing "open
only if exists" flag in the Evolution storage libraries. SyncEvolution
set that flag if the databases seemed to exist already, but later it
turned out that the flag should effectively be ignored and always be set
to true.

SyncEvolution 1.3 will do that and thus should no longer require
creating dummy items just to ensure that the databases really exist.
