We don't have anyone around taking paid jobs for working on SyncEvolution. Usually when it's just about answering questions, answers are for free.

Here's the problem: SyncEvolution has no concept of merging (when sending) or splitting (when receiving) items stored in different calendars. There is an open feature request for it (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52778) but no-one had enough interest to work on it. > It's enough if > the past 2 weeks and future 6 months get synced because not everything will > fit.

For local syncing, an older feature phone with SyncML support is typically easier, because syncing via Bluetooth works out-of-the-box. With recent smartphones it's harder. It should be possible to sync one calendar, one addressbook and one todo list with the phone already. First you need to configure SyncEvolution to use KDE: https://syncevolution.org/wiki/kde-akonadi Once that is done, you can actually just use the normal instructions for syncing with a phone: https://syncevolution.org/wiki/sync-your-phone-bluetooth > * Restrictions: (a) The phone and the desktop must synchronize without > access to the public internet.

I don't want to get into the business of doing remote SyncEvolution configuration jobs, though. -- Best Regards, Patrick Ohly The content of this message is my personal opinion only and although I am an employee of Intel, the statements I make here in no way represent Intel's position on the issue, nor am I authorized to speak on behalf of Intel on this matter. _______________________________________________ SyncEvolution mailing list [email protected] https://lists.syncevolution.org/mailman/listinfo/syncevolution
