Hello, New Evolution user, new list member. I came to make some feature suggestions, as it looks like the developers are active here...
But first, I have a fix for your palm duplicate records, since I just went through this myself. I didn't get triplicate records--only duplicate. I suspect it happened at some point when I got impatient waiting for synching to stop, and interrupted it or something. It took a very long time to sync all of the databases the first time, and, other than the indication of what application is synching on the Palm, found no way of tracking its progress. But now it's all working very smoothly. I'm running Evolution 1.2 on Mandrake 9.0, under KDE, with a Palm Vx. I generally start synching by going to Tools | Pilot Settings to start up the gpilotd daemon, then press the hotsync button. Here's the fix: 1. Make sure you have the pilot-link package installed (specifically, pilot-dedupe). 2. Synchronize with Evolution. First time took as long as 30 minutes, even with 115200 as the transfer speed on both the Palm and in Gpilot settings. 3. Open a shell and kill gpilotd: "ps -ef | grep pilot" to get the process id, "kill xxxx" to kill it. 4. Type "pilot-xfer -l", and press the hotsync button to get a list of all of the databases on the palm. 5. Type "pilot-dedupe " and the names of the databases that have duplicates--for example, "pilot-dedupe AddressDB ToDoDB DatebookDB". Then press the hotsync button, & wait... 6. When that's all done, go back to Evolution, open the Pilot Settings, and for each of the Evolution conduits, use a One Time Action of Copy >From Pilot. This nukes all the duplicates in Evolution. I discovered this after going through and deleting some 360 duplicate contacts! Hope that helps somebody!
