Thanks to the work of Patrick Ohly and Ove Kåven we have syncevolution running on N9. It syncs perfectly my calendar and contacts to onemediahub (funambol). There are more servers available, i.e. memotoo.

Unfortunately it seems to be a bit difficult to sync also tasks and notes due to some limitations of the N9.But there seems to be light at the end of the tunnel. Ove seems to have some ideas, but he is very busy and couldn't make everything alone.

So, here is my question to the developers here: Are you interested in a development/support of enhanced features for a full PIM support of the N9? If so, please have a look at http://lists.syncevolution.org/listinfo/syncevolution
or send a mail mailto:SyncEvolution@syncevolution.org.

A full PIM support of our N9 is my dream.

Thanks and have a nice weekend.

frankly speaking, I'am a little bit disappointed, nobody interested? Thanks to Ove and Patrick first results will be available soon.

I've been using syncevolution before on the N9, with good results. But.. even if Nokia is acting like Apple and Microsoft, by NOT supporting established, open protocols (for that, Nokia, you earned the unobstructed and exclusive view of my middle finger), the N9 has Buteo built-in. With a bit of fiddling with the XML-configuration it works very well for me. It now automatically, periodically syncs agenda and contacts with my memotoo-account.

I can't say I'd prefer SE over Buteo or vice versa. As mere user, I'm interested in the results. A configuration GUI, more features (proper SMS and bookmarks syncing, like the N95(!!) had), status overview etc. would be welcome.

This is a report of success.

My N9 with PR 1.3 syncs calendar and tasks with memotoo. This did not work in July with PR 1.2. I've only just noticed and have not tested how robust this is but it seems fine so far.

If it proves reliable and robust I'll move to sync everything though memotoo with my N9.

And what about notes? May be I'am wrong but as far as I know notes are not supported by memotoo.

From my point of view there are 4 essentials: contacts, calendar, tasks and notes.

I don't think Memotoo can support anything that SyncEvolution does not and so far SyncEvolution does not support note sync. And I don't know if the N9 OS allows for note sync anyway.

The memotoo task sync seems mostly fine. If tasks have no due date then there are odd things about the the creation and completion dates (sometimes they appear set to 1/1/1970). I'm still testing it out.

Update: the problem with creation dates seemed to be to do with syncing N9 tasks with Remember the Milk using Memotodo as intermediary. When I removed RTM sync the problem went away.

Good news today! Got a mail from Patrick, syncevolution 1.3 released today. More information at http://syncevolution.org/blogs/pohly...on-13-released

It brings full support of contacts, calendar, tasks and notes for harmattan devices like the N9. Great!

Thank you very much, Patrick and Ove and every developer involved in this important project.



status
==============

SyncEvolution synchronizes personal information management (PIM) data via various protocols (SyncML, CalDAV/CardDAV, ActiveSync). It syncs contacts, appointments, tasks and memos. It syncs to web services or to SyncML-capable phones via Bluetooth.

Binaries are available for Linux desktops (using GNOME Evolution, or KDE's Akonadi), for MeeGo and for Maemo (Nokia N900, N9).

The project moved its bug tracking from bugs.meego.com to bugs.freedesktop.org. All the old issues were migrated. Please file new issues here:
http://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bu...=SyncEvolution

The git repositories were also moved to freedesktop.org: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/SyncEvolution/


SyncEvolution 1.3
=================

New features are KDE/Akonadi and ActiveSync support, not only in the source code but also in syncevolution.org binaries. ActiveSync is the recommended way of synchronizing contacts with Google: https://syncevolution.org/wiki/googl...cts-activesync

The D-Bus server and local sync were rewritten considerably, to make the code cleaner and more robust. The CalDAV backend now also supports tasks and memos. CalDAV and CardDAV can be used in combination with a SyncML peer ("bridging SyncML and WebDAV"), thus allowing a device which only supports SyncML to talk to a WebDAV service without any intermediate storage.

1.3 contains bug fixes that were not backported to 1.2.x, so upgrading is recommended. For example, SyncEvolution 1.3 is required for Evolution 3.4, otherwise photos are not exported properly. Support for Evolution >= 3.6 is in the source code, but not in syncevolution.org binaries. Further workarounds for recent changes in Google CalDAV and Funambol One Media were added.

Does syncevolution play together with KDE-PIM for Harmattan? (http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=1265028) It would make the KDE a true alternative for the native apps.

Iow: how do the native apps, (native) Buteo sync, KDE PIM and Syncevolution work together? Can they work completely separated as well?

I never tried KDE-PIM for harmattan and I have no glue how it works. I'am happy with the native apps on the N9 if I can sync all relevant data with funambol using syncevolution. There are not so much tools on the market syncing not only calendar and contacts but also tasks and notes (or memos). May be you can get more information at http://blog.gmane.org/gmane.comp.mobile.syncevolution

hey,

unfortunately I don't manage to install syncevolution 1.3.

Maybe I am to stupid to find the right .deb package. Can anyone help me?
