Thom, Well, this is surely encouraging! I'm not (yet) up to speed on all that I need to know with Suse 10.2, and where to find things though. 1. Where do I get that new version? I found source for Evolution 2.8.2.1 on gnome.org (is that the version?), but not up to building it from source yet. 2. What do I need to do to install it? I prefer KDE. Will that rpm command mentioned downpost do the job? 3. Searching for the new version, came across mention of Red Carpet. Do I need it? gnome page seems to say that it's with Suse Linux. I didn't see it anywhere ...
This PDA-sync issue is a bit of a show-stopper for me as I make the transition to Linux. I use Outlook sync'ed with Palm constantly, and I'm hoping that Evolution measures up. Is there anything else available (free or not) that will work if Evolution doesn't? Many thanks!
