Synchronizing 3 devices ...

Hello,

I am trying to use MultiSync to synchronize my desktop Evolution (E2 on 
FC3) with my cellphone (Siemens M65) and organizer (iPAQ 5550). Although 
it runs in principle, there are numerous problems:

  - The synchronization sometimes trashes one of the databases without 
warning (disappearing phonebook, duplicated appointments, etc.).

  - The synce plugin feels a tad too experimental, ActiveSync on the 
organizer sometimes claims to be synchronizing an hour after MultiSync 
has terminated, etc.

I would be grateful for answers to a couple of related questions:

  - Can the entire setup eventually work reliably ? (The existence of 
multiple synchronization pairs to cover the three devices, with 
Evolution as the "central" server.)

  - Will there always be loss of data due to various devices having 
various limits on what can be stored, or can I use some "central" server 
in place of Evolution that would always preserve missing data ? (For 
example, the cellphone does not support comments with appointments, 
while Evolution does, if I edit my appointment in the cellphone, will I 
always loose the comment ?)

  - Is there any reasonably easy way to check for what is wrong in the 
communication protocols and formats and submit the information so that 
the devices are supported better ?

Regards, Petr
