I have been keeping my home environment pretty much linux only for about 4+ years now. I have a old, very very functional, workhorse of a pda. A palm professional. The primary use for this is to remind me where I am supposed to be and to keep track of contacts. I have no problems at all syncing with staroffice and I love the calender and todos. So the palm syncing works. Unfortunantly, the email client for staroffice, to put it mildly, is inadaquate. So the database attached to star has no real relation to my email list. I have been using kmail as my emailer having switched there from netscape. I also have mozilla 9.9 which I can use as an email client. What I REALLY want is some sort of integrated thing wherein I can have access to my calender and to-do's AND keep an updated email/contact list. When I try to use jpilot, I get a pi_bind: No such file or directory Error and it can't find the palm regardless of where I point the palm to look for the connection. (Yes, I did point the palm at the correct serial port and gave the necessary permissions.) Jpilot just sits there. I did install coldsync and at least initially coldsync seems to at least create and sync with the databases it creates in my home directory. But when I went to add a fetch and dump to kab (the addressbook for kmail), it wiped out everything on the palm, which then wiped out everything on the staroffice. I wish to reinterate that it syncs fine under staroffice. So how the heck can I get an email client addressbook to deal with my palm under linux whilst still maintaining a viable calender? -- Dr. Roy F.

I have to push the sync button on Jpilot first, then the sync button on my Palm for the sync to start. Are you trying it in that sequence? Best Regards, Keith -- LPIC-2, MCSE, N+ I can C for miles and miles Got spam? Get SPASTIC http://spastic.sourceforge.net

Tried that last night and it did not work. Today it did (go fig). Now the last step would be to somehow get the email addresses to input into the jpilot so that my addressbooks all sync. At the moment I use either mozilla or kmail. Thanks for the help.
