I may have been unclear, but pilot-link works fine, and I assume jpilot will too, once I configure it. My problem is that IIUC, syncing the data for specific apps requires conduits designed for the apps' specific database formats, and I know of no conduit currently in Debian that will handle mail (either Versamail, or the OSS GnuGotMail would be fine). Does kpilot contain a mail conduit? I don't use KDE, but a solid mail conduit might be a sufficient reason to install it. I'd think, however, that if it does contain a mail conduit, I should be able to use it without the entire KDE framework.
