I agree, and I had already thought about making this more visible. But I didn't know how to change the markup of this paragraph. Mike, do you know how I can turn a <p> into a warning? Is there something like <p class="warning">? > ... warning. This seems very counter-intuitive: I need to *delete* all > my contacts, events, tasks etc. before I can synch my phone?! Is there > absolutely no way of avoiding this? You can try without --advance. But then there is no guarantee that the resulting config really is correct, because that depends on sending and receiving test data. But note that even then a backup of your data on the phone is a good idea. We've had one report here where a Nokia phone apparently wiped out all its data during the initial sync even though SyncEvolution didn't ask for that. > Meanwhile, I will try to configure my phone manually (and referring to > another Sony template in the wiki). That is always better than running the config test tool. Another prominent paragraph should be that the tool really is the last resort and brute-force method of finding a working config. -- Best Regards, Patrick Ohly The content of this message is my personal opinion only and although I am an employee of Intel, the statements I make here in no way represent Intel's position on the issue, nor am I authorized to speak on behalf of Intel on this matter. _______________________________________________ SyncEvolution mailing list [email protected] http://lists.syncevolution.org/listinfo/syncevolution
