OK, I'm going to fix these. (sse git)

Exact.
When I modify a BB event from VCal, I read at first the BB event to
extract some field (today only the CalendarID field).
We can think using this solution for other data.

I have 4 calendars :
- mail1 - CalendarID = 12345
- mail2 - CalendarID = 34567
- BlackBerry Messenger Group - CalendarID = 56789
- default - CalendarID = -1 (not associated to mail account => so the
function "invited participant" is disabled)
Before my patch :
- If I add a new event in Evolution (so VCal -> BB direction), BB uses
the rules defined in the menu "Options > Advanced Options > Default
services". From this menu, I have set the default calendar to "mail1".
(but the default calendar name exists always)
- If I edit an existant event in Evolution (so VCal -> BB direction), BB
set CalendarID to -1. My event is moved to the "default calendar". (so
in a wrong calendar) => So, after an other sync, opensync removes the
event in evolution since the event isn't more in the good calendar.
With the patch :
- If I add a new event in Evolution (so VCal -> BB direction), I set the
CalendarID value to -1. So I don't build this field. BB uses the rules
defined in the menu "Options > Advanced Options > Default services".
- If I edit an existant event in Evolution (so VCal -> BB direction), I
read at first the BB event to extract CalendID field. Then I build the
BB event and I set the CalendarID field with the good value (except if
the value is -1). So, my event isn't moved in an other calendar !

On my device (Storm with 0S 5), the CalendarID has always a value. The
default calendar is always -1 (0xffff...). (same on the wife's curve)

No. In fact, we should have :
<Resource>
<ID>1</ID> <= New XML field
<Enabled>1</Enabled>
<Formats>
<Format>
<Name>vevent20</Name>
</Format>
</Formats>
<ObjType>event</ObjType>
<Url>file:///home/nicolas/.evolution/calendar/local/system</Url>
</Resource>
<Resource>
<ID>2</ID> <= New XML field
<Enabled>1</Enabled>
<Formats>
<Format>
<Name>vevent20</Name>
</Format>
</Formats>
<ObjType>event</ObjType>
<Url>file:///home/nicolas/.evolution/calendar/local/others</Url>
</Resource>
<Resource>
<ID>1</ID> <= New XML field
<Enabled>1</Enabled>
<Formats>
<Format>
<Name>vevent20</Name>
</Format>
</Formats>
<Name>Event</Name>
<ObjType>event</ObjType>
<DataBase>0x15</DataBase>
</Resource>
<Resource>
<ID>2</ID> <= New XML field
<Enabled>1</Enabled>
<Formats>
<Format>
<Name>vevent20</Name>
</Format>
</Formats>
<Name>Event</Name>
<ObjType>event</ObjType>
<DataBase>0x16</DataBase>
</Resource>
We need a link between objetcts and be able to choose the database for
barry sync.

If the user creates an entry from BB, he can choose the calendar.
If the user creates an entry from VCal (evolution or other), BB use the
services profile.

It's quiet simple.
You have two database :
Database: 0xa 'Calendar - All' (records: 32)
Database: 0x16 'Calendar' (records: 31)
Calendar - All contains all events (whatever the calendar)
Calendar contains only the event linked to default services choose by
the user in the options. (in my case, "mail1").
I prepare a dump to write a parser.
